<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 30, 2008 <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated that Ramsey County had stated they would review <br />the Position Paper when they were designing which does not mean that the access <br />will be there. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that Ramsey County had indicated that this would be an <br />open public process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that he was concerned that this document would go <br />to the designers for the County and if the designers don't see this exit ramp on the <br />concept plan and they could exclude it. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that the Council could amend the resolution to include <br />this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated that she would like to go through the Position <br />Paper to verify that those items are addressed in the Resolution. She stated that the <br />first item was the Interstate 694 and Interstate 35W project and this was not visible <br />on this Concept Plan but it was stated that noise issues would be looked at. She <br />stated that the Council wants to make sure that the State does leave room in the <br />right of way for noise abatement. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Giga stated that in preliminary review of this Mn/DOT had <br />indicated that there was sufficient room along Highway 10 for noise walls. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if Design Constraint # I was covered by the second <br />Whereas in the Resolution. <br /> <br />City Attorney Filla stated that the current Resolution, the second Whereas, last <br />sentence does state that the Position Paper has guided the review and revision of the <br />Concept Plan, and will also guide the preliminary design process. He also stated <br />that if the City wished to emphasize certain points in the Position Paper then <br />language such as "including but not limited to" could be added. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated that the first concern was noise mitigation so she <br />would like to amend the resolution to reflect this concern. She stated that Design <br />Constraint #2 was not in the Resolution and asked if this should be added as a <br />separate Whereas. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that this could be added to the fourth Whereas where it <br />refers to the Concept Plan with the further addition of an exit from northbound <br />Trunk Highway 1 0 to eastbound County Road 96. He stated that he would make <br />that motion. <br />
