CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney called the Worksession to order at 5:30 p.m. Present at the meeting <br />were Councilmembers Broussard Vickers, Capra, Lee and Paar; City Administrator <br />Kim Moore-Sykes; Jim Dvorak, SRF; Nathan Will, SRF; Lyndon Robjent, Anoka <br />County; Mike Kelly, Anoka County. <br /> <br />II. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />a. Jim Dvorak, SRF Engineering, presented information regarding the design <br />process for the reconstruction of CSAH 14/Main Street. He noted various points <br />along CSAH 14/Main Street where they will be trying to minimize the impacts of <br />the reconstruction throughout the lakes and wetland areas. <br /> <br />Mr. Dvorak also noted the tight 90 degree comer of Main Street by St. <br />Genevieve poses some difficulty as the church structure is a historically <br />significant site. He reported that it becomes tight again going through the <br />downtown area He stated that this is the tightest area of the project as 100' is <br />needed for the project. Mr. Dvorak said that there are 2 -3 options for this area. <br />The roadbed can be shifted to the north; shifted to the south; or left in the center. <br /> <br />He indicated that the aerial photos with the street overlays indicating where the <br />road may go are a first "shot" at this preliminary plan. Mr. Dvorak indicated that <br />these drawings will be displayed again at the meeting on October 26, 2004 at <br />Chomonix Golf Course. <br /> <br />Responding to questions about the options for the placement of the <br />roadbed, Mr. Dvorak indicated that it is possible that the County may opt <br />to move CSAH 14 to the north, based on the property values. He indicated that it <br />may be cheaper to go north because there are fewer properties impacted <br />by the reconstruction project. <br /> <br />Residents also asked how CSAH 14 reconstruction will impact other <br />intersections in Centerville. Mr. Dvorak said that the intersection at CSAH 21 <br />(20th Avenue) will need to be reconstructed; Centerville Road will have to be <br />widened to 3 lanes in the downtown area to allow for parking on both sides of the <br />road. <br /> <br />When a resident asked about the construction schedule, Mr. Dvorak <br />indicated that reconstruction will start Spring 2006. He said that Phase II of the <br />project will be completed by March 2005; costs need to be determined; <br />environmental assessments completed; easements and rights-of-way need to be <br />determined and acquisition of these rights-of-way to be done. When asked about <br />
