<br />a possible change in the speed limit, Mr. Dvorak indicated that at this point it is <br />expected to remain unchanged. <br /> <br />A resident asked about the median at the intersection at Main Street and 20th <br />Avenue as it looks like it will block access to Corner Express. Mr. Dvorak <br />suggested that frontage roads may need to be constructed because the median <br />does block left turns at 20th A venue and 21 51 Avenue. He suggested that a road <br />could be planned south of Main Street and east of 20th that could access the Dairy <br />Queen, Embers, and the other businesses off of 21st. He then suggested that a <br />road could go north of Main Street off of 20th Avenue and again go east to access <br />Mainstreet Bank. He also indicated that the County has no plans for stop lights at <br />any intersections. Mr. Dvorak also reported that the project involves 3.5 miles of <br />CSAH 14. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers asked that Anoka County notify <br />residents that may be involved in property acquisition sooner rather than <br />later. <br /> <br />Mr. Dvorak indicated that Anoka County needs to know what utilities that the <br />City plans to replace or install in the downtown area. They are also <br />looking for approval from the City of a Memo of Understanding (MOD) <br />once the County has a proposed plan for the reconstruction project. He <br />also went on to discussion the process the County is required to use to <br />acquire property. He indicated that acquisition would involve taking only <br />a strip of property necessary for the widening of Main Street, leaving the balance <br />of the property intact. They also use this process to acquire temporary easements. <br />Mr. Mike Kelly, Anoka County, reported that the authority the County uses for <br />acquiring property is Fed. Reg. 81.646 which outlines the procedure and <br />limitations for the taking of property. Mr. Dvorak then described the <br />process for determining market value for the property. He reported the <br />Anoka County has already acquired three properties using this process. <br /> <br />Mr. Dvorak reminded those in attendance that the next public input <br />meeting for CSAH 14 is scheduled for October 261h from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 <br />p.m. at Chomonix Golf Course in Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />III. ADJOURNMENT <br />The Council Worksession was adjourned at 6:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted by: <br />Kim Moore-Sykes, <br />City Administrator <br />
