ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 29, 2016 8 <br /> <br /> B. County Road D Improvements <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated the Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills entered <br />in to an agreement in 2010 with the City of Arden Hills that obligated them to reconstruct County <br />Road D, a municipal street on the City’s corporate border with Roseville. Senior Housing Partners <br />has prepared plans for this reconstruction. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson explained engineering staff from both Arden Hills and <br />Roseville have reviewed the plans and all comments have been addressed. Roseville City Council <br />has elected to permanently close the connection between Wheeler Street and County Road D. The <br />plans as prepared by Clark Engineering dated August 22, 2016, show this street closure as <br />requested by the City of Roseville. The median in the driveway entrance to Johanna shores off of <br />County Road D is shown to be removed as requested by the Lake Johanna Fire Department as the <br />median does not accommodate fire truck access. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson reported Senior Housing Partners has elected to cover <br />the entire cost of the construction and contract for the work privately and plan to complete the <br />work in the fall of 2016. Arden Hills and Roseville will be inspecting the construction jointly. The <br />bituminous sidewalk along Lake Johanna Blvd is shown to be reconstructed and a new concrete <br />sidewalk on the north side of County Road D is shown to be constructed as part of this work. <br />Snow and Ice control on both of these sidewalks would be the responsibility of the property <br />owner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if a stop sign could be installed for safety purposes. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated a stop sign would be installed at County Road <br />D. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve reconstruction plans for County Road D and Authorize <br />Senior Housing Partners to contract for reconstruction. The motion carried <br />(5-0). <br /> <br />C. Accept Proposals for Bituminous Mill and Overlay of Shorewood Drive <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated the City Council discussed potential pavement <br />maintenance projects and requested staff return with a recommendation on Shorewood Drive. <br />This is the portion of the roadway not being reconstructed as part of the Johanna Shores <br />Development. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson indicated Public Works Staff discussed the possibility <br />of having a contractor mill this street and Public Works staff pave it as was done on Thom Drive <br />this year. He stated that this does not appear to be possible for a number of reasons that include <br />the fact that seasonal employees returning to school has created a large need for full time <br />employees to preform park maintenance activities, work on Lake Valentine Road catch basin <br />repairs needs more crew hours devoted to this to complete the job, and use of Ramsey County <br />vehicles for trucking and rolling has not been secured for this work.
