In that letter, Arden Hills denied Municipal Consent with 14 conditions. <br />Mn /DOT intends to continue working with you and Arden Hills city staff to at least narrow our <br />differences and reach agreement on many issues. In doing so, 1 am going to address the 14 <br />conditions to initiate the negotiation process. <br />Conditions from Arden Hills: <br />1 The City requests that the revised traffic data outlined in the MnDOT letter dated September <br />14, 2010 be added to the approved layout. <br />Mn /DOT response /statement MnIDOT has added the revised traffic data requested. Mn /DOT <br />sees this condition as being met. <br />2 The City requests that MnDO T show the beginning and ending points of the possible noise wall <br />on the proposed layout. MnDO T has estimated the construction cost at $1,525,000 with MnDOT <br />funding $1,050,000 and the City funding $475,000. The City requests that MnDOT commit to <br />paying any construction cost over the estimated $1,525,000. In the event that the construction <br />cost is less than estimated the City requests that their share be prorated. <br />Mn /DOT response Mn /DOT has shown the possible noise wall on our final layout. The funding <br />of the noise wall can be established as a lump sum agreement where the city pays $475,000 <br />towards the design and construction of the noise wall, or Mn /DOT and Arden Hills could agree to <br />use a "Schedule 1" breakdown of costs for the noise wall. Arden Hills would then be responsible for <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
