Mr. Kapler noted that he has talked to Street Supervisor Grant Riemer and he has indicated that most streets entering the neighborhood already have speed limit signs posted. Mayor Gamec stated that it seems there are a lot of stop signs going through the development. Councilmember Zimmerman explained that the Committee reviewed each intersection and took input from many citizens and felt that the listed intersection should have stop signs.

The City's engineering consultant, SRF Inc., is preparing plans, which are 90% complete. The plans have been sent to the MnDOT for review and return comments are due any day. At the time of the Public Works Committee meeting, ten of the thirteen homestead properties have been acquired. Eight of the remaining 26 parcels will require uncomplicated appraisals since the estimated value of each is less than $5,000. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the Council will be meeting with Sunwood Drive residents this week who do not want Sunwood Drive to connect to T.H. #47, and he thinks that the Council needs to make a decision if the road will go through or not soon after the meeting. Mayor Gamec suggested placing the Sunwood Drive extension on the agenda for the first City Council meeting in July. Councilmember Zimmerman requested that the City Engineer find out how much money would have to be returned to the State if Sunwood Drive is not extended to T.H. #47.
