Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Olson, Pearson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers Elvig and Jeffrey. Committee/Staff Input (a) CR 57 & Alpine Drive Public Works Director Olson stated there was a significant amount of discussion in February relative to the intersection of Sunfish Lake Boulevard and Alpine Drive. A 4-way stop sign is now in place and the intersection warrants signalization when funding will allow. The Committee indicated the 4-way stop represents an adequate safety improvement until the intersection can be signalized. (b) TH 47 & 167t~' Avenue There was discussion regarding the concern of stopping vehicles in the acceleration lane northbound at this location. MnDOT feels it is their responsibility to determine if the stop bar can be moved further back in this location. (c) No Passing Zone on CSAH 5 between Alpine & TH 47 A review that a no passing zone on CSAH 5 between Alpine Drive and TH 47 was discussed at a previous Committee meeting. Staff requested direction from the Committee on whether staff should proceed with making this area a no passing zone. The consensus of the Committee was to direct staffto proceed with making a no passing zone on CSAH 5 between Alpine Drive and TH 47. Staff would like formal direction to present a letter to the County requesting the no passing zone on CSAH 5 between Alpine Drive and TH 47. The County has indicated normally this is a verbal request. This would result in the County posting a no passing zone wherever certain sight distances are met; however, the direction of the Council was to post no passing from Alpine Drive to TH 47. The consensus of the Council was to direct staff to present a letter to the County requesting a no passing zone on CSAH 5 between Alpine Drive and TH 47.
