<br /> ----- ------ <br /> ~ ~ <br /> - <br /> , CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> ,. MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: February 7,1997 <br /> , TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> , FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Publie Works Superintendent <br /> SUBJECT: Highway 96 Alignment of Roadway <br /> I Baekl!round <br /> . On September 30, 1996, the Ramsey County Highway 96 Engineers met with Arden Manor <br /> residents who's mobile homes could be impacted by the Highway 96 reconstruction in 1998. <br /> The purpose of that meeting was to inform the residents who's mobile homes back up to the <br /> I Highway 96 Right-of- Way, that their mobile homes may need to be relocated, if this is the most <br /> practical solution of reconstructing the highway. The County decided to look for other options <br /> and get back to the owners and residents of the park. <br /> - Arden Manor Owner Meetin~ <br /> Since that time the Public Works Superintendent met with Jim Tolaas, the Ramsey County <br /> -. Project Engineer on Highway 96, and Francis Husnik, the owner of Arden Manor. Mr. Husnik <br /> wanted to work with the County and indicated his willingness to give up approximately 25 feet <br /> along the Highway 96 Right-of-Way, if this would prevent further encroachment onto the Mobile <br /> - Home Park. He also would be willing to consider relocation of the park entrance to line up with <br /> a future service road on the south side, but did not see how the County could do this in a way he <br /> I would find acceptable. <br /> Januarv 6.1997 Meetim! <br /> I A second meeting was held by the County for Arden Manor residents who's mobile homes could <br /> be impacted by the re-construction of Highway 96. <br /> I Mr. Tolaas, at this meeting provided some background on the project explaining the need for a <br /> service road on the south side of the highway and the problems of disturbing the contaminated <br /> wetlands. Mr. Tolaas basically said there are two options: <br /> I Option 1 is to leave the roadway at its existing location and add the service road on the <br /> south side. Sheeting of the wetland area would be necessary to isolate this area from the <br /> I rest of the lake. Removing and disposing of the contaminated soils and replacing this <br /> with clean fill would be necessary. The downside of this is the time needed to get <br /> I permits, the problem of disposing the contaminated soils, and the danger of stirring up the <br /> contaminates in the rest of the lake, plus the need for a mitigated wetland to replace the <br /> eliminated wetland area. <br /> ~ 1 <br /> I <br /> ___u____ <br />
