ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 10.1997 7 . would be impacted but the home on the double lot can probably remain, He used the map to point out the location of these four units east of the bend in Todd Drive. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if this alignment will remain unless the Council decides that the intersection at Round Lake should be relocated, Mr. Tolaas stated this is correct and the proposal mimics what had been discussed previously. Mr. Tolaas stated the entrance point could be moved to the east about 120 to 125 feet which would shift tbe entrance road to the mobile home park over to the next two lmits. He stated that with creative retaining walls, the two end units could be recaptured and the permanent impact limited to several units, Councilmember Aplikowski asked how traffic northbound on Highway 10 can get back into Arden Hills, Mr. Tolaas noted the access can be gained from coming back to 1-35W. He agreed this will put more pressure on the freeway interchange. Ms. Pfiffer noted the new design does not include the Old Highway 10 frontage road. Mr. Tolaas stated that this is correct since it would create a conflict with traffic movement at the intersection, He reviewed the proposed alignment. Betty Seehafer, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, asked if the only mobile homes impacted are . on the outside edge of Highway 96, Mr. Tolaas explained that only the first row of homes abutting Highway 96 would be impacted Ms, Francis inquired regarding how far the rear yards will be impacted, Mr. Tolaas stated the road will be shifted 60 to 65 feet to the north. Mr. Erickson clarified that the construction will be within the right-of-way and still be outside of the mobile home lots but the roadway will be closer. Mr. Tolaas explained the difference between the current rural design and proposed urban design, Ms. Francis asked about the distance between the edge of the trailer and roadway. Mr. Tolaas estimated it will be about 60 feet from the home to the curb in some areas and down to about 25 feet at the entrance. Ray Laden, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, asked if the impact will move inside of the fences. Mr. Tolaas reviewed the location of the current fence line and advised that just west of the currcnt fence line, the slope will encroach inside the fence line. Mr. Pfiffer stated the traffic noise is loud now and expressed concern that it will be even noisier when located closer to their home. . Mr. Tolaas stated this is a valid concern and their impact statement did identifY a noise impact along that stretch of highway which can be reduced by the construction of a wall. He stated that they would offer either a noise Viall or enhanced landscaping to mitigate the noise concern.
