<br />I <br />I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 30. 1996 6 <br />f' there is a lot of land on the south side which is not being used. Mayor Probst explained the <br /> access to the Lake will be driven in terms of clean-up which is not under the control of Arden <br /> Hills. He reviewed the past activity in trying to gain access to other segments of land and noted <br />I that dollars being allocated by Congress for clean-up activities are declining greatly. Mayor <br /> Probst advised there are some indications the Arsenal will be looking for opportunities to <br />I remediate some areas at a lower cost and may declare the Round Lake area to be alright as long <br /> as it is left undisturbed. <br />I Mayor Probst advised the Council is interested in bringing development to the area south of <br /> Round Lake but issues with regard to access need to be addressed. He stated the frontage road is <br /> of interest to open that segment to development and resolve safety issues at the location of the <br />I off-ramp. <br /> Mayor Probst explained another concern of the City is funding a percentage of the overall cost <br />I for the reconstruction of Highway 96 and there is some urgency in the time line to make basic <br /> decisions so the State can encumber funds towards this project which will lessen the City's <br /> contribution. <br />I Mr. Tolaas stated the County anticipates a 50% increase in traffic volume over the next 20 years, <br /> which has been factored into the design and this increase will occur with or without the proposed <br />Ie roadway improvement. He advised the proposed project will create a noise level which exceeds <br /> the State standard of 65 decibels so this area has been identified for noise walls which would <br /> reduce the noise violation to within the standard. He explained this is another issue which would <br />I be brought before the Council and community; to determine if noise walls are acceptable. On <br /> safety, no signalization is being proposed at the entrance of the mobile home park. Signals <br />I would be timed to provide a somewhat better opportunity to leave the park and a left turn lane <br /> would be provided. Right turns would be provided for in a right turn lane so all turning <br /> movements would be protected. With regard to bicyclers, there is a lot of traffic in this area so <br />I Ramsey County supports a separated bicycle pathway area. <br /> Mayor Probst inquired regarding action to be taken this evening. Mr. Tolaas explained Ramsey <br />I County is not asking the Council to select a preferred alternative but to determine whether this is <br /> suitable to pursue. If it is the preferred alternative, then Ramsey County can pursue it in earnest <br /> and drop the original concept. If it is important to keep the original concept open, then Ramsey <br />I County will continue to pursue both concepts. If the community believes the second option is <br /> totally unacceptable, then it will be dropped and the original concept pursued. <br />I Councilmember Hicks asked what Ramsey County will do if it is not a viable alternative to <br /> displace homes and then a large contamination is found. Mr. Tolaas advised that Ramsey <br />I County knows the contamination of the Round Lake basin exists and before the project can <br /> proceed, it needs to have a removal and disposal plan in place. <br />.. Councilmember Hicks asked what would happen if more contamination is found during <br /> construction. Mr. Tolaas advised the Army has done extensive testing and does not believe soils <br /> are contaminated, in any way, north of Highway 96 along the construction corridor. <br />I <br /> - ------ <br />
