Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if there will be several utility companies coming in to <br />install their utilities within the right-of-way when the City has paid to acquire the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson noted that people are ending up in St. Francis because of the detour <br />signs and she thinks there needs to be some more clarification. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that he had ordered signs for the local businesses that will give <br />better direction. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmerman requested that staff put together a map showing detour maps. <br /> <br />Case #3: Update on Project 143ra Avenue/Maken Property Development <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that the extension of 14Yd Avenue from Jasper Street to C.R. <br />#116 is a Capital Improvement Project, which is scheduled for year 2000. The City <br />Administrator has been negotiating for the acquisition of the Maken property, which lies south of <br />this roadway and east of the Bury and Carlson properties. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that the engineer suggested constructing 143~d Avenue into the <br />Maken property to avoid impacting Altron's parking lot, but he would prefer to construct 143rd <br />Avenue straight over to C.R. #116. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly suggested opening the curb and giving Altron a driveway into their <br />parking lot from 143rd Avenue. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the issue involves acquiring land from the property owner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired as to the amount of property that would be impacted. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied 33 feet. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman explained that he has had initial discussions with Amcor and they <br />are proposing to expand to the north and concerned that constructing 143ra Avenue into the <br />Maken property might impact their expansion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman replied that if the City is condenming the Maken property they <br />could use it for road right-of-way. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen replied that would depend on how it would impact Amcor's <br />expansion plans and since they are already going to have to acquire land from Altron, it might <br />make more sense to keep it off the Maken property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested letting the engineer design the road 'since there will be <br />truck traffic. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/June 27, 2000 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
