ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL —JULY 25, 2016 6 <br />Mr. Lindeberg reported based on his experience a sound wall would be put out for a vote if it <br />reduced noise and was cost effective. <br />Mayor Grant inquired if the cost effective number or rate had changed. <br />Mr. Lindeberg stated the cost effective number was $3,325 per decibel per benefiting receptor. <br />He explained the equation has changed slightly and swings the pendulum closer to residents than <br />the old policy and makes it easier for noise walls to be constructed. <br />Mayor Grant asked if a third lane being added from I -35W to County Road 96 would necessitate <br />a new sound study analysis. <br />Mr. Lindeberg reported this was the case. <br />Councilmember Holmes responded to Mr. Smeal stating the Council speaks with one voice and <br />votes based on experts. She stated she was not a sound wall expert but took action based on the <br />recommendation of a sound wall. Second, she did not order the independent noise study alone, but <br />rather noted this was an action voted on by the entire City Council. She understood there was a <br />lack of density in the East Round Lake neighborhood, which meant a noise wall would not be <br />constructed. She indicated the Council was always happy to advocate on behalf of its residents. <br />Mr. Cmiel agreed the Council took action on this item. He did not understand why the Council <br />directed Bolton & Menk to complete a sound analysis on one neighborhood (Briar Knoll) instead <br />of two neighborhoods, which would have included his neighborhood. He wanted to see an <br />independent study completed by Bolton & Menk for the East Round Lake neighborhood. <br />Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. <br />Councilmember Wieklund asked if the Council had to take action on this item this evening. <br />Mayor Grant stated the Council had 90 days to take action on this item. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to adopt Resolution #2016-025 Approving Layout of Interstate 35W <br />MnPASS project. <br />Mayor Grant wondered how much an independent sound study would run for the East Round <br />Lake neighborhood. <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated he was uncertain as to the expense but noted he <br />could investigate this further for the Council. <br />Councilmember Holden commented the proposed sound study was not within the scope of <br />MnDOT's project. <br />Mayor Grant understood this to be the case but noted this sound study would be a part of <br />MnDOT's next project. He asked what the process would be to get a sound wall built as a stand <br />along project. <br />
