REPORT OF VILLAGE ENGINEER DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN . Lexington 1-694 Storm Drainage, Alternate D and Status of RCWD Approval Council was referred to Christoffersen's letter of 4-17-81 and attached letter from MnDOT re Plan D. Christoffersen explained that the change was requested by Shoreview and is the same as Alternate C except that Arden Hills Detention Basin C-l is pro- posed to contain a larger volume of storage and the Shoreview Basin D-1 is proposed to be smaller than proposed in Alternate C Plan; sees no change in costs for Arden Hills but lowers the cost for Shore view . Christoffersen reported that RCWD has reviewed Alternate C, and is aware of Alternate D (letter of RCWD of 4-16-81); reported he has not received written approval of plans to date; referred Council to map illustrating the undeveloped areas south of 1-694; noted that no Council action is needed at this time. Report re Village Providing Traffic Counts for MnDOT Christoffersen reported that SEH has countersavsilable for use by Arden Hills on a loan basis this year, if the City desires to take the requested traffic counts for MnDOT; noted that the only cost would be to instruct the Public Works Dept. employee(s) in the operation of the counters. Noted that it is his understanding that the counts may be taken anytime and is probably going to be an on-gOing count by the municipa~ity for MnDOT. .

Improvement No. 80-1, County Road E - Project B, Street Lighting Christoffersen reported that the specifications are substantially ready for bid for the County Road E street lighting; referred Council to the lighting diagram which indicates lights at about 100 feet apart, alternating each side of the street, based on Planner Miller's proposal as discussed with the County Road E task force - concrete poles with steel arm, and in accord with NSP requirements for maintenance; suggested that it would be appro- priate to authorize advertisement for bid for Project B at this time to coordinate with the underground wiring which is apparently scheduled. In discussion, Johnson queried whether the type and height of the lighting standards have been determined; expressed concern that they conform with the base scheme; noted that it would be desirable to also coordinate the semaphore(s) with the street lights. Council concurred to refer the street lighting plans and specs to Planner Miller for his review snd report at the next Council meeting. Also requested at that meeting is response from the State Hwy. Dept. re type of semaphore and whether or not a sema- phor, is needed at the westerly ramp at STH S1. Improvement No. 80-1, County Road E - Project A, UnderQroun~h~~r~~~.
