July 10, 1989 Council Minutes, Page Four . Malone asked if the plan could be amended to remove the kink in the intersection. The church is on the Shoreview side and that is the reason for the kink. Mayor Sather felt the Council should only approve a 90 degree intersection and send the reconunendation back to Shoreview to see what happens. Growe agreed with the 90 degree intersection between Grey Fox Road and Lexington. Malone moved, seconded by Growe to direct the City Administrator to notify Shoreview that Arden Hills' preference is for the intersection to remain at a 90 degree angle. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 . STOP SIGN REQUEST Council acknowledged receipt of a request from Gerald Moore, Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc., for the installation of a stop sign at County Road F and Fernwood (which had been removed a month ago, after completion of 1-694 construction). Mr. Moore was present and noted that CPI employees had been used to having the stop sign for the last year and were now having difficulty exiting the parking lot. He noted that there had not been any accidents, but there had been "near-accidents". Moore noted that large trees also contribute to the problem as the visibility is reduced. He also noted that the speed limit in one direction is 45 mph, and the other direction it is 40 mph. Mahowald noted that a traffic study is to be completed in conjunction with the CPI master plan and that should dictate whether a stop sign is needed in that location. City Engineer Maurer indicated that the traffic study could be completed in time for the next City Council meeting on July 31. STREET LIGHT REQUEST Mr. Craig Hjelle, from Bethel College, was present to request installation of a street light at Bethel's western entrance where it meets old Snelling Avenue. Mr. Hjelle noted that he spoke with Ramsey County to request a light, but the County said this does not meet their criteria for installation. Malone noted that it is the City's plan to light all major collector streets in the City, but that private roads are not included in future street lighting plans. Malone noted that this is a request for a private street and any lighting would be Bethel's responsibility. Mr. Hjelle thanked the Council for the opportunity to discuss this with them. . WATER TOWER UPDATE Council acknowledged receipt of a memo from Administrator Berger relative to the volume of water in the new water tower, noting that recently it was only 1/3 full. Public Works Supervisor Raddatz stated that at one point last week, there was only four feet of water in it, or 108,000 gallons. He noted that 350,000 to 500,000 gallons is typical and that once there was 750,000 gallons of water in it. Raddatz pointed out that Roseville is now using
