ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORKSESSION—February 13, 2008 8 Councilmember Holmes stated she supported three legs. She indicated you could come out of TCAAP and go south on TH 10. Councilmember Holden concurred with Councilmember Holmes. Mayor Harpstead indicated that what would be left off is a southbound access to TCAAP. Councilmember Holmes indicated there could be a frontage road right onto that exit ramp. Mayor Harpstead noted there was a preference stated earlier to have this be a signalized intersection. Councilmember McClung stated he would be in favor of that. Councilmember Grant stated he would be in favor of that and added he felt the two Iegs of the east side of TH 10 could remain. He noted there would be one dangerous turning radius on southbound TH 10 into TCAAP or southbound TH 10 out of TCAAP. He added that would be a phase-in since the grade is unclear at this time. Mayor Harpstead stated he would be opposed to this because it presents a signal too close to the freeway ramps and the boundaries of these intersections are already at threshold; this would negatively impact the overall neighborhood. Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to have this idea considered. Councilmember Holden stated she supported Councilmember Grant's statement but would take out the phasing part. Mayor Harpstead asked the City Council: 5 If TH 10 were moved to the east, does the City Council intend for all four lanes to be moved? -- - Councilmember Grant stated he would not be in favor of this. He added there needs to be a way to resolve the impact to Arden Manor,but moving TH 10 is not the correct way to do that. Mayor Harpstead stated he would be in favor of exploring the quality of the roadbed and to rebuild as much as possible to the northeast. Councilmember Holmes stated she would like this idea to be considered meaningfully during the preliminary design phase as a means to further decrease the impact on Arden Manor. Councilmember Holden concurred with Councilmember Holmes. Councilmember McClung expressed his support for moving TH 10.
