<br />, . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and the City of Arden Hills' approval and agreements are exe- <br />cuted, we anticipate that we will be able to get the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportion and County Board approval in time <br />to start construction first thing next spring. Our time <br />schedule right now would be to submit to the Department of <br />Transportation in the middle of December and the County Board <br />in February, take bids in March and award a contract in April <br />and anticipate construction in early spring. We would esti- <br />mate that by Labor Day the project would be sufficiently com- <br />pleted that bituminous surface would be restored for driving <br />and that by Thanksgiving, the sod, trees and everything else <br />would be planted and the road fully operational a year from <br />today. If there are any questions, your Honor, I'd be happy <br />,to answer them. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: I'm sure there will be. You said the <br />width - I don't know (inaudible) on the number of lanes. <br /> <br />MR. WAYNE LEONARD: It's 68 feet. That's provided for <br />two lanes going north, two lanes going south, and that 14 feet <br />down the middle for left turns. The only medians would be the <br />ones right at the 694 ramps. On either end of the ramps <br />there is a piece of median - this brown thing here. Other <br />than that, there are no medians proposed except - well, there <br />is a little tiny piece right at - controlling left turns right <br />at uF" and another one right at the end of the Control Data <br />driveway. If you're familiar with the short piece that you <br />have in there now, it's a continuation of the exact same <br />(inaudible) . <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: That's your initial explanation, ,at <br />least, of the project. Thank you. We'll probably have a few <br />more questions coming up. First I'd like to ask the Clerk <br />Administrator - has this project, as described, been published? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />DEPUTY CLERK ZEHM: Yes, it has, <br />Bulletin on November 19 'and 26, 1981. <br />Certificate of Mailing on file. <br /> <br />MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and Members of the Council, the pro- <br />cedural aspects relating to publication and mailing have been <br />properly handled. So far as my part is concerned, out of the <br />total cost that the Ramsey County people have indicated it <br />would be, the Arden Hills' portion amounts to $18,900 roughly, <br />to which we've added $5,000 as a total cost, and it was pub- <br />lished at a total cost of $23,900.00. The extra $5,000 was <br />added as a judgmental cost that the engineer, the clerk's <br />office and ourselves added to it because that's how much Ramsey <br />County wants to get, and there are some additional costs that <br />the City has to bear. While they expect you to pay 75% of the <br />cost of the curb and gutter in Arden Hills, they also expect <br />the easement cost as well. Those costs, at this, time, we do <br />not know what they are. The engineer's report indicates that <br />they should be nominal on the affected property owners because <br /> <br />in the New Brighton <br />We also have the <br /> <br />3 <br />
