-120- City Engineer Jm~<owski replied that City Code requires that there be a bituminous access for any unit that receives a certificate 'of occupancy. Councilmember Kurak inquired if the City could be dragged into the issue where a property owner's fence encroaches onto the berm located on the developer's property. City Attorney Goodrich replied that he did not think the City' would be involved because the issue has been resolved between the developer and property owner. Councilmember Zimmen2an inquired if the. location of the frontage, road would line up with a future frontage road through the County Park and in front of Diamonds. City Engineer Jankowski replied that that location has never been .identified, but there is a commitment on the part of the County for the frontage road to continue. Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by C0uncilmember Cook, to. adopt Resolution #03-01~010 to. approve the preliminary plat of Rivenwick 3rd Addition contingent upon compliance with City staff review letter dated September 27, 2002, revised November 8, 2002, revised January 10, 2003 and the developer 'receiving a rezoning of that portion of the subject property which is zoned B-I Business, the fence issue with the' neighbor being resolved, occupancy permit not being issued for any units until the road is completely constructed with lights at the intersection Ramsey Boulevard and Highway #10 to approval of the City and I'vhlDOT. Further discussion: Councilmember Pearson inquired if the City would have to pay the cost of redoing the intersection of C.R. #56 and Highway #10 in the future if the frontage road is extended. Mayor Gamec replied that they would probably use MSA funds since it is a MSA road. Councilmember Pearson stated that if they allow a temporary intersection and then it. has to be redone he would like to. know who would have to pay the bill. Councilmember Kurak replied tl~at she did not believe that it would be a temporary intersection. City Engineer Jankowski explained that the intersection of. Ramsey Boulevard and Riverdale Drive would need to move 200 feet to the south at an estimated cost of $180,000. The estimated cost of signalizing the intersection is $150,000 to $200,000. One of those costs will definitely be incurred if the project occurs. Staff recommended that the developer be responsible for the construction of the intersection and hold him harmless if the intersection needs to be relocated. Staff feels that there is some benefit of the intersection other than to the developer, which is why they made their recommendation. Motion camed.
