<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 30, 2008 <br /> <br />29 <br /> <br />thinks their local access interchange needs to be located so that the County knows <br />what the parameters are. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated that the County is funding the preliminary design <br />on Highway 1 0 and County Road 96 and the developer is funding SHE to design <br />the locals access interchange. She stated that the City needed to get preliminary <br />design done and did not believe that noise abatement at this time is part of this <br />process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated that the County has done the scope. She asked <br />what would happen if the City decided tonight that they did not want a flyover at <br />Highway 10 and County Road 96. <br /> <br />Mr. Chromy stated that the County would like to get something from the City that <br />includes some local access interchange so as they move into preliminary design <br />they can account for that. The two projects do not work independent of one <br />another. They have different reasons for being done and different agencies leading <br />the projects, but it has to be a common solution. He stated that if there is a <br />commitment from the City, then the County could move forward with grade <br />separation project consistent with the local access project presented tonight. If there <br />is no commitment from the City for its local access interchange, the County will <br />need to reevaluate local access with the grade separation project and move forward <br />accordingly. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated that Chris Roy had told the Council this at a <br />previous worksession. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that the County would have to reconsider how to <br />accommodate local access. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked Mr. Chromy in his judgment when should the City <br />hit hard with the noise abatement issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Chromy stated that from his perception the noise abatement is independent of <br />either project because the projects themselves will not be changing the noise or the <br />ability to add noise abatement in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if SEH would have to make sure that there was <br />significant right of way. <br /> <br />Mr. Chromy stated that if something other than noise walls were what the City <br />wanted to do, then they would need to be considered because they take up more <br />
