<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29,2001 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Mr. Tolaas replied there would be median cuts at the opening of the new City Hall, Hamline <br />Avenue, the Snelling Avenue area, and North Heights Church. He stated the original study <br />identified signals at Y2-mile segments and full openings at 'l4 -mile sections. He stated the design <br />plan would follow the rest of the design along Highway 96. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated he understood the lots to be acquired in the mobile home park <br />were owned by the park owner. Mr. Tolaas responded the mobile home owner would first have <br />to be purchased out of their mobile home, and then they would purchase the land from the park <br />owner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked if there was any order established as to the timing of the <br />acquisition of the homes. (i.e., would they contact the mobile home park owners first or the <br />individual mobile home owners) Mr. Tolaas replied there was no set policy for this, but they <br />would probably contact the homeowner first because they would be the most drastically affected <br />by this acquisition. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem asked if there was anything they as Councilmembers could tell the <br />homeowners on the west side of Highway 10. Mr. Tolaas responded they could discuss <br />acquisition, but there was still the issue of funding. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Grant asked how many units would be taken as a result ofthe realignment. Mr. <br />Tolaas replied the maximum would be 17. It would probably be between 13-17 units. He stated <br />those homes could not be relocated because of the age of the units. The homeowner could buy <br />another home within the park, but the home they currently live-in probably could not be <br />relocated. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch asked if the median cut would stay for the City's maintenance facility. Mr. Tolaas <br />responded that the cut would not stay, but although there would not be a full access cut, there <br />would be room to make a U-turn in a safe manner at Hamline Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch inquired with respect to the intersection of West Round Lake Road would the City be <br />included in the discussion for reimbursement of costs to date. Mr. Tolaas replied he did not have <br />an answer to that, but would be willing to discuss this issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson inquired about the lighting and signalization of the intersections. <br /> <br />Mr. Tolaas stated the County's lighting policy concerned safety issues, and they would light the <br />intersections, but other lighting would be the responsibility of the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked if there would be any lighting and signalization at Snelling <br />Avenue and at the new City Hall median cut. Mr. Tolaas replied there would be no lighting or <br />signalization at either location. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson inquired about a possible trail and tunnel crossing somewhere along <br />Highway 96. Mr. Tolaas replied if the City wanted a trail and tunnel crossing, it should be <br />
