Option #3 would be to install temporary control structures (ie., police officer(s) during the A.M. . and P.M. traffic peaks to direct traffic) at the existing intersection of Round Lake Road and Highway 96 until the "new alignment" is complete. The Staff would conservatively estimate that this option would cost $30,000 for two sheriff deputies ($40 per hour per deputy) for five hours per day for 75 days (from August 3, 1998 to November 13, 1998). The two traffic engineers (Jim Benshoof-Benshoof and Associates and Tony Heppelmann-BRW) appeared to agree that this was a viable short term option to resolve this problem. The identification of who would pay for this was not discussed in any detail, due to the cost estimate was not calculated until after the meeting. The Staff has directed BRW to complete additional evaluations of the Phase II, III, and IV Trame Study (prepared by Benshoof and Associates) which would expand it to incorporate the data from the Highway10/Highway96 study and future development within the GBO (Indykiewicz, Morris Communications, and Vaughan). At this point in time the closing is still scheduled for Friday, February 13, 1998 (Friday the 13th seemed to be somehow appropriate). The Staff has directed Attorney Filla to have the documents from Morris Communications available on that date. To which he assured Staff, that he sees no reason why the documents will not be ready. Welsh Companies is finalizing their discussions with their tenants and will be prepared to sign the development agreement and close on that date. Brian, Terry and myself would conclude that the sale of the bonds should continue towards your . tentative approval of the "low bidder" on Tuesday, February 17, 1998. The basis for this conclusion is that the City does not have the ability to intemally finance the necessary improvements of the Round Lake RoadlHighway 96 intersection, Highway 96 bridge, and completion of the 14th Street improvements. Recommendation In Planning Case 97-06, the Staff would recommend approval of the modification of condition #1 to "Issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy permits for Phases II, III, and IV is subject to Welsh Companies agreeing to reimburse the City of Arden Hills for its costs associated with studying and implementing of temporary control structures which are acceptable to the City of Arden Hills at the intersection of Round Lake RoadlHighway 96 to facilitate development of Phases II, III, and IV in 1998".
