<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 /> MAYOR WOODBURN: I'm sure there will be. You said the <br /> width - I don't know (inaudible) on the number of lanes. <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 "F" 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 /> 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 /> DEPUTY CLERK ZEHM: Yes, it has, in the New Brighton <br /> Bulletin on November 19 and 26, 1981. We also have the <br /> Certificate of Mailing on file. <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 /> 3 <br /> --- <br />
