3) Request of Access to C.R. #116 City Engineer Jankowski reported that the City has a joint powers agreement that limits access on #116 to six. Mrs. Darlene Milless requested an access to the new segment of C.R. #116 for which her father, Mr. Peltzer, had dedicated 9.1 acres without compensation. The Public Works Committee directed that a temporary access be granted and that the City provide fill, culvert, Class 5, and turf restoration for an access across the six-foot ditch section at a cost of $3,500. The Committee directed that this access not be counted as a permanent access. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to approve providing a temporary access for Mrs. Milless at a cost not-to-exceed $3,500, with the caveat that the City Attorney will draft language that documents this is indeed a temporary access. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, and Anderson. Voting No: None. 4) Update on C.R. #116 Corridor Study Mr. Jankowski reported that the Public Works Committee reviewed a letter from Jon Olson, Anoka County Engineer. His letter was in response to a request that the County identify the location and right-of-way necessary for the extension of C.R. #116 west of Armstrong Boulevard. The letter and sketch, which Mr. Jankowski presented to Council, identify a broad area which would include all the potential fight-of-way for C.R. #116 to extend westward and southward as a river crossing in the location identified by the draft Comprehensive Plan. The sketch and the letter presented is sufficiently detailed to identify a 150-foot wide strip of property for a quarter-mile west of the current terminus of C.R. #116 as being necessary for this extension. Beyond this initial quarter-mile, the right-of-way needed becomes considerably more speculative. Mr. Jankowski stated that the Committee recommended that the City acquire a 150-foot strip of property for a quarter-mile west of Armstrong Boulevard. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen to acquire the 150 feet of right-of-way for a distance of one-quarter mile west of Armstrong Boulevard beginning with obtaining an appraisal for the property. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Hendriksen and Anderson. Voting No: None. 5) Discuss Drainage Concern Received from Jim and Carla Holm Mr. Jankowski stated that Improvement Project #99-08 includes a bituminous overlay of Juniper Ridge Drive in Rum Acre Estates. A letter from Jim and Carla Holm pointed out a drainage issue, which would require 1,000 feet of storm sewer at a cost of approximately $40,000 to correct. The Committee directed that the storm sewer be City Council/April 27, 1999 Page 20 of 25
