Exhibit A Conditions for Municipal Consent of I- 694/TH 51 Layout October 25, 2010 1. The City requests that the revised traffic data outlined in the MnDOT letter dated September 14, 2010 be added to the approved layout. 2. The City requests that MnDOT show the beginning and ending points of the noise wall on the proposed layout. MnDOT has estimated the construction cost at $1,525,000 with MnDOT funding $1,050,000 and the City funding $475,000. The City requests that MnDOT commit to paying any construction cost over the estimated $1,525,000. In the event that the construction cost is less than estimated the City requests that their share be prorated. 3. The City requests that MnDOT commit that fill generated on the project will first stay on the project and be used for sound mitigation berming in all areas where noise walls are not proposed. Additional fill material, if it exists, should be used for berming along both sides of I -694 west of the project limits. 4. The City requests that MnDOT prove that the traffic modeling for the I- 694/TH51 improvement considered the entire region and the effect the proposed grade separated intersection of TH 10 /CR96 with the loss of some movements will have on the entire transportation system, including the railroad crossing on Lexington Avenue. Furthermore, the City wants MnDOT modeling to document that the proposed improvement will cause no harm and actually provide benefit to the county and local road system beyond Hamline Avenue, County Road F, Lexington Avenue, County Road E and Lexington Bridge over I -694. 5. The City requests that MnDOT commit that there are no city costs associated with the proposed improvements necessary on interstate, county or local system(including changes that might be required on County Roads E, F, Hamlin Avenue, Lexington Avenue or the junctions between) to construct the I- 694/TH51 interchange shown on the proposed layout with the exception of noise walls. 6. The City requests that MnDOT work with Ramsey County staff to identify necessary improvements to the Lexington Avenue /County Road F intersection, assist in estimating the costs of such improvements and encumber funding from the Cooperative Agreement funds or other appropriate fund source in a year agreed to by the County in consultation with the cities of Arden Hills and Shoreview. 7. The City requests that MnDOT agree to work with Ramsey County to identify any potential changes that could be made to the Lexington Avenue Bridge and adjoining intersections that would improve their operation and make such improvements prior to the completion of the I -694 interchange. 8. The City requests that MnDOT change the layout as necessary to provide the required spacing and appropriate (barrier) separation for a 10 foot wide bituminous trail on the west side of old Snelling Avenue /old TH 10 as it passes under I -694. 9. The City requests that MnDOT construct a non motorized /pedestrian bridge across TH 10 to connect North Snelling Avenue to the trail connection under I -694 identified in #8 above.
