ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—October 25, 2010 7 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Resolution 2010-052 Disapproving Municipal Consent for 1-694/TH51 Mn/DOT Improvement Public Works Director Terry Maurer stated Mn/DOT is proposing an improvement project for the interchange of I-694/TH 51 in Arden Hills. In June, Mn/DOT submitted a Mn/DOT approved layout to the City and requested City approval (Municipal Consent) of the layout. On August 9, 2010, the City Council held the public hearing for this project. Following the August 9 public hearing, Staff met with Mn/DOT and Ramsey County to review comments heard from the City Council and residents of Arden Hills. Staff requested additional information from Mn/DOT based on the comments made at the public hearing as well. At the September 20, 2010 work session the City Council asked Staff to prepare some possible conditions for a Municipal Consent resolution. At the October 18, 2010 work session the conditions were reviewed and some minor changes were requested by the City Council. All of the changes made to the conditions by the City — Council have been made with the exception on Condition #8. This condition has not been changed because there currently does not appear to be 13 feet of area outside of the road on each - side for a detached trail so the condition has been left to request an appropriate area for a ten foot trail on the west side. Following the public hearing held on August 9, 2010, the City has 90 days or until November 7, 2010, to approve/disapprove the layout. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to Approve Resolution 2010-052 Disapproving the Final Layout of I- 694/TH51 with the Conditions presented. Councilmember Holden stated in Exhibit A, Item 2, the word "possible" should be removed. She asked who determined the beginning and ending points of the noise walls. Public Works Director Maurer stated the construction of the noise wails would be dependant on the City committing to a portion of the funding for these walls. If the City does not commit to the funding then the noise walls would not be installed. The beginning and ending points have been established based on the amount of funding requested but these points are not shown on the proposed layout. If the City commits to funding these walls then the word possible can be removed. A separate resolution approving the funding can be done if the City chooses. Mr. Mark Lindeberg, Project Manager for Mn/DOT, stated the beginning and ending points for the wall had been established and the location had been part of previous exhibits. MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a_motion to eliminate'the word "possible" from the first sentence in Item 2 in Exhibit A. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Councilmember Holden asked for clarification regarding the additional fill referenced in Item 3, Exhibit A.
