CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
ST A TE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2008-032
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE HIGHWAY 10
LOCAL ACCESS INTERCHANGE
WHEREAS, the City is in the process of considering the development of a local
access interchange (the '-'-Interchange Project") on Trunk Highway 10 ('-'-TH 10") north of
County Road 96 ('-"CR 96"), in connection with Ramsey County's proposed grade
separation project at the intersection ofTH 10 and CR 96; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 2008-020 approved March 31, 2008, the City
Council approved a position paper that identified various issues and concerns in
connection with the Interchange Project and the THIO and CR96 project, including but
not limited to: 1. Noise Abatement 2. The position of CR96 relative to the impact opn
Arden Manor 3. Local pedestrian access to the neighborhoods. The position paper has
guided the review and revision of the concept plan, and will also guide the preliminary
design process; and
WHEREAS, although a phasing analysis showed the need for a west frontage
road to accommodate projected traffic, tIle frontage road has been redesigned to create a
combined entrance ramp and one-way frontage road; which has reduced the impact on
Arden Manor, including saving four manufactured homes; and
WHEREAS, the revised concept plan for the Interchange Project is depicted on
the map titled '-'Highway 10 Grade Separation with SB Exit Ramp and One Way Frontage
Road," prepared by Short Elliot Hendrickson, Inc. and dated May 29, 2008 (the ''-Concept
Plan") with further addition of a right exit from northbound TH 1 0 to eastbound CR96:
and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that the Concept Plan is the appropriate
basis for beginning the preliminary design phase of the Interchange Project; and
WHEREAS, due to the substantial costs to be saved by the State of Minnesota by
TH 10 reducing the traffic volume impacts on the 1694 and 135W interchange, the City
requires the State or MnDOT to initiate and support noise abatement funding in areas
designated by the City on TH 1 O.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Arden Hills, as follows:
1. The City approves the Concept Plan and the basis for preliminary design
work for the Interchange Project.
2. City staff, consultants and the Mayor and City Administrator are
authorized and directed to take all actions and execute any documents necessary to carry
out the intent of this resolution, including without limitation delivery of a copy of this
resolution to Ramsey County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
