Extract of Minutes of Meeting
of City Council
City of Arden Hills
Ramsey County, Minnesota
February 3, 1986
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting
of the City Council of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota, was
duly held at the City Hall in said City on Monday, February 3,
1986 at 7:30 o'clock p.m.
The following members of the Council were present: Mayor
Woodburn and Council members Hansen, Hicks, Peck and Sather; the
following were absent: None.
Also in attendance were Clerk-Administrator McNiesh;
Engineers Christoffersen, Van Wormer and Barry Peters; Planner
Miller; Treasurer Lamb; and Public Works Supervisor Raddatz.
Engineer Peters clarified some inaccuracies which had
appeared in local publications concerning the estimated costs of
the proposed Hamline Avenue improvement.
He noted that the
project could take two forms--as a 46 foot wide roadway or a 36
foot wide roadway h~th a sidewalk on the west side and a sidewalk
on the east side. He advised the Council that the estimated cost
of the 46 foot wide roadway improvement with surcharging and a
sidewalk on the west side was $997,000.00 and $1,015,200.00 if
the project in addition included a sidewalk on the east side. In
comparison, the 36 foot wide roadway plus surcharging and a
sidewalk on the west side would cost an estimated $886,800.00 and
with an additional sidewalk on the east side $905,000.00.
.
.
The Council then discussed with the Engineers the
following topics: The Parks Committee's recommendation that a
sidewalk be placed on the east side of Hamline Avenue from Karth
Lake Circle to Wyncrest; turn lanes on the 36 foot wide roadway;
feasibility of discouraging cut-through traffic on Hamline
Avenue; the necessity for turn lanes; the necessity for one or
two crosswalks; feasibility or possibility of installing a
semaphore signal at the intersection of Hamline and 1-694, or a
sign preventing left turns between certain hours, and other
alternatives thereto; and alteration of bus routes so that the
crossing of Hamline Avenue by students would not be necessary.
A motion was made by Council member Hansen and seconded by
Council member Hicks that the Council adopt the following
Resolution No. 86-8 for a three-lane 46 foot wide road with
detached sidewalk on the west side thereof. After considerable
discussion, it was moved by Council member Sather and seconded by
Council member Peck that the original motion be amended to
include installation of a sidewalk on the east side of Hamline
Avenue from Karth Lake Circle to Wyncrest Court. This motion to
amend the original motion carried by a three-to-two vote, Council
members Sather, Peck and Hicks voting in favor thereof and
Council member Hansen and Mayor Woodburn opposing the same.
Resolution 86-8, as moved by Council member Hansen and
seconded by Council member Hicks and as amended by the motion
made by Council member Sather and seconded by Council member
Peck, read as follows:
