ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 10 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 9:09 p.m. <br /> <br />Lynda Hanni, 4211 Shirley Lane N in Shoreview, stated her concerns with this project was that <br />the traffic study was completed in February of 2021 during the COVID timeframe. She explained <br />she traveled this roadway every day and she feared that the traffic levels were not accurate. She <br />encouraged the City to take this into consideration. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 9:12 p.m. <br /> <br />10. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Resolution 2021-025 Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans and <br />Specifications – Snelling Avenue N and County Road E Street and Utility <br />Improvement Project <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated following the public hearing under agenda <br />item No. 9A, the next step in the project delivery process is to approve a Resolution ordering the <br />improvements and the preparation of plans and specification for the Snelling Avenue North and <br />County Road E Improvements Project. The Resolution would order the improvements and plans <br />in accordance with the recommendations provided in the project feasibility report. The Council <br />must formally decide on the Alternative within Area 1 to move forward with design, in which, this <br />decision will be inserted into the Resolution. Upon approval of the resolution, a Request for <br />Proposals (RFP) for producing project design plans and specifications will go out to respected <br />consulting firms whom have recently completed successful projects with the City of Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if staff looked at other options for Area 1. <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained two options were included within the <br />feasibility report and noted both met MSA standards. He commented further on the improvements <br />that would have to be completed in order to comply with MSA requirements. He was of the <br />opinion that other options were considered within the feasibility study, but noted the two most <br />feasible options were presented to the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden discussed the option provided by Mr. Larson and asked if the City could <br />request a variance to the MSA standards. She indicated she would be willing to postpone action <br />on this item if this were the case. <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director Swearingen indicated MSA does allow variances. He reported <br />he was not experienced enough to understand what type of variances they do and do not allow. He <br />stated he would have to communicate with State Aid representatives for clarification on this <br />matter. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant noted Mr. Larson’s commented were provided to the Council in Appendix J. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated without knowing what MSA would waive, she questioned if the <br />City could narrow the roadway with a curb and trail. <br />
