. , . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 5. 1998 4 Council member Aplikowski indicated she would feel more comfortable if they had an opportunity to review any changes made by other municipalities, at least obtaining minutes from these other council meetings on this subject. Councilmember Malone added it would be his understanding the Council would be approving the document in front of them and not any future document. Mayor Probst concurred. Mr. Fritsinger noted, for clarification, the reason Arden Hills is moving more quickly through the review process was due to the fact the Parks and Recreation Commission had not reviewed this document. Mr. Fritsinger noted this had happened because of the recent review of the TCAAP property and the familiarity of Staff with the property. He noted that if Council would still desire to have the commission review the document, there was plenty of time. Councilmember Hicks stated he was comfortable with Staff's recommendation but commented that the City had appointed committees and they should be given an opportunity to present any comments. Mayor Probst noted once the Master Plan proceeds to the Development Plan, it would still go through any procedures and reviews. This would give the commission any opportunity they would need to review and comment on the Plan. Mr. Simons assured the Council all City procedures and requirements would be followed at that time. Councilmember Hicks stated that, if the document is consistent with the Reutilization Plan, he is comfortable with moving forward. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #98-05, Snpporting the Ramsey County Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor Master Plan, dated December 1997, with the understanding that any subsequent changes to this document would be provided to the City Council of Arden Hills for review and approval. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Resolution #98-06, Ordering Highway 96 Feasibility Report Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, briefly presented the background of this project and noted the City had reviewed several design options for the upgrade of Highway 96 within the City of Arden Hills. Mr. Stafford noted the Council felt the needs of Arden Hills were not being fully addressed and directed Staff to procure a traffic study of the area. He indicated Staff recommends the Council approve Resolution #98-06 directing BRW to do a traffic study for the Highway 96/Trunk Highway 10 interchange within the City of Arden Hills. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Keim seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #98-06, Ordering a Highway 96 Feasibility Report, in an amount not to exceed $12,500. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
