. Memo to Mayor and Council December 10, 2003 Page 3 );> A potential north/south TCAAP access is included that would ultimatcly linc up with a new signalized entrance to North Heights. );> For discussion purposes, this exhibit includcs an intcrchange accessing the TCAAP property and an extension of West Round Lake Road through the Arden Manor Manufactured Home Park. A frontage road for Scherer Brothers and the Big 10 is also included. While a concerted effort was made to minimize the impact to the manufactured home park, this design would require relocation of approximately 80 manufactured homes, the park office, six single family residential homes along Highway 10, and the existing city park. There are currently approximately 300 homes in the park. Based on previous reconstruction scenarios, it was anticipated that approximately six manufactured homes and the six single family homes would need to be acquired. While the implications of this design are significant, there are limited options for placing an interchange on Highway 10 for the TCAAP property. The advantages to this approach include: . J. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6, The extension of West Round Lake Road also provides another opportunity to access 1-35'- If some type interchange to Highway 10 is not established, traffic for Hamline and Lexington Avenues will increase as a result of the additional TCAAP traffic, A parcel of property for additional development will be made available. Additional pedestrian and vehicle linkages better connecting this section of Arden Hills. Better access for commercial uses along Highway 10, Improvement to the transportation system. While more detailed analysis would identify additional advantages and disadvantages of this approach, it will be helpful to have the Council's preliminary reactions to determine if the concept should be explored further, or allemative concepts should be explored. To help define the City's policy relatiye to the above issues, staff would present the following discussion questions for Council's consideration: I. Given the stated preference by MNDOT and the County for grade separation at Highway 96 and Highway 10, under whal scenario, if any, is the Council comfortable with this concept? 2. Is the extension of West Round Lake Road and the interchange to serve the TCAAP property on Highway 10 a concept worth pursuing further? .
