lot into two lots is recorded, the hotel site will have the access from Highway #10 and the aeeesg from Riverdale. The restaurant site will have the access from Sunfish Lake Boulevard and the access from Riverdale. At the time of final plat approval, it was anticipated that both lots would want to share all public accesses, not just the one on Riverdale. Cross easements giving the hotel site legal use of the Sunfish Lake Boulevard access and the restaurant site legal use of the Highway #10 access would be required to facilitate this. Consequently, the development agreement was drafted to require the Developer to provide the City with such easements in recordable form. All obligations of the development agreement have been met with the exception of providing the City with evidence that access easements between Lots 1 and 2 have been drafted in recordable form. When these easements are provided, City staff can release the plat for recording at the County. On January 6, 2000, City staff met with Michael McCollum, attorney for the Grosslein's. Mr. McCollum indicates that in reviewing the situation more closely, the Grosslein's are of the opinion that two-way traffic between the hotel Highway #10 access and the restaurant Sunfish Lake Boulevard access could be a safety hazard and a complex maintenance issue. Dana and Duke Grosslein are satisfied that the hotel is adequately served with the Highway #10 and the Riverdale accesses, and that the restaurant is adequately served with the Sunfish Lake Boulevard and Riverdale accesses. Staff is in agreement with the Developers. During the meeting, it was also noted that right-of-access along Highway #10 adjacent to Lot 1 is not dedicated to Mn/DOT on the final plat. To alleviate the City Engineer's concerns that additional accesses onto Highway #10 might be sought in the future, the Developers have taken action to make the necessary correction to the plat mylars. Motion by Councilmember Connolly, seconded by Mayor Gamec, to amend the Development Agreement for G~B Properties First Addition and eliminate Item #5 requiring access easements between Lots 1 and 2 of the plat. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Connolly, Anderson, Hendriksen, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #4: Enter Into Partnership Agreement with MnDOT for the T.H. #47 STP and Associated Projects City Engineer Jankowski presented the Council with an Agreement that acknowledges the State's comlnitment to providing construction engineering and inspection on the T.H. #47 projects at no cost to the City. This will save the City $256,000 over the previous cost estimate dated November 30, 1999. The proposed Agreement would commit the City to paying the State 8% of the construction cost on Sunwood Drive and C.S.A.H. #5 to cover inspection and contract administration, and 4% of the construction cost to cover contract administration on the sewer and water looping. The City will need to provide its own inspection of the sanitary sewer and water looping. Mr. Jankowski noted the he received a call from MnDOT requesting an expedient effort for change in work orders be added to the agreement and suggested that he be authorized by the City Council to authorize change orders.
