ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 22, 2018 5 <br /> <br />Hearing after a presentation by MnDOT staff and received the following comments from the <br />public: <br /> <br />• Council should consider the whole corridor and how it is affected. <br />• Traffic from Highway 10/ Highway 96 is exiting onto Snelling Avenue at high speeds. <br />More noise abatement should be considered along Highway 96. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reported MnDOT gathered additional noise <br />readings along Lakeshore Place and Old Highway 10 in the vicinity of US 10/Highway 96. The <br />readings did not show significant increases in volumes from the original study. Staff also <br />submitted a letter to MnDOT with additional concerns regarding the height of the noise wall, <br />impacts to the Big Ten Tavern, service road entrance design, existing water main and snow <br />plowing concerns. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated since the Public Hearing, MnDOT has <br />received input from affected property owners and completed the voting for the noise wall. A <br />majority of voting points received were in favor of construction of both of the noise walls (north <br />of the access to the service road and south of the access onto US 10); therefore, the walls are <br />proposed with the US 10 project. The layout has also been revised due to input from the Big 10 <br />Tavern owner. A right turn from the service road to US 10 has been added. The noise wall has <br />also been modified to provide for the access which then allows a view of the Big 10 Tavern from <br />US 10. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated staff had a meeting with MnDOT on January <br />18 to discuss the potential noise wall/watermain conflict. She discussed the depth of the <br />watermain in conjunction with the roadway and stated staff did not recommend the City Council <br />support the Final Layout of the US 10 Improvements. She explained the watermain would have to <br />be located at least 10 feet horizontally from the proposed noise wall and be placed at least 7½ feet <br />in depth and should be at MnDOT’s cost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked when the right-out from the Big 10 Tavern was added by <br />MnDOT. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated this was a very recent addition. She noted <br />she received a revised layout around January 8. She believed these changes were brought about <br />after a meeting was held between the Big 10 Tavern owner, his attorneys, and MnDOT in <br />December. She provided further comment on how the service road would be striped for one-way <br />traffic. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes commented the Council has not had an opportunity to discuss the one- <br />way proposed traffic flow for this roadway. She did not believe this was appropriate and that <br />traffic should remain two-way. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka explained the Council could add a condition, <br />requiring traffic along this service road to be two-way. She discussed MnDOT’s reasoning behind <br />the one-way proposal, which had to do with snow plowing. <br />
