Roseville, MN - Official Website <br />Page 11 of 31 <br />group that, based on the mechanism for funding and definition of state aid <br />roads, that designation should have also been addressed. <br />Suzanne Sancilio, 1221 West County Road C -2 (immediately west of <br />Josephine Woods Development at bottom of hill) <br />Ms. Sancilio thanked the City Council for the opportunity to address costs for <br />connecting County Road C -2 at Griggs Avenue. Ms. Sancilio opined that it may <br />sound inexpensive to connect the road through laying of concrete and removal <br />of a few trees to those signing the petitions to do so without having fully <br />studied the traffic study. Ms. Sancilio noted that state aid funds could be <br />designated for other city neighborhoods; and while the study didn't address <br />specific dollar amounts, she noted that it did give the community a glimpse of <br />tax dollar expenditures. Ms. Sancilio noted the impacts including destruction of <br />Heritage Oaks in the way of a new section of roadway, construction costs for <br />175' of roadway where none currently existed, narrowing of the cul -de -sac, <br />installation of traffic signals, street lights, bike lanes and sidewalks; all in order <br />to be consistent with the Roseville Master Plan. If that additional cost wasn't <br />enough, Ms. Sancilio noted the significant risk for motorists passing through <br />and residents of County Road C -2 with the vertical hill. While not asked to <br />design a road, Ms. Sancilio noted that the traffic research team had addressed <br />potential options for mitigation that would be required. <br />Ms. Sancilio referenced Question #30 in the staff and City Attorney responses <br />addressing City liability if County Road C -2 was connected; and need to <br />mitigate design deficiencies if there was a connection. Ms. Sancilio opined that <br />these could be considered additional costs as well. Ms. Sancilio noted <br />additional costs in lowering the h i l l at County Road C -2 and moving it west; <br />removal/replacement of the existing retaining wall at County Road C -2 by <br />approximately one foot (1') during this extensive construction project; addition <br />of three feet (3') of fill in low areas of County Road C -2 near Fernwood <br />Avenue; and reconstruction of numerous driveways along County Road C -2, <br />Josephine Woods, and Merrill, if not elsewhere. Ms. Sancilio noted additional <br />costs for relocating or revising storm drainage, water main and other <br />infrastructure in changing roadway profiles; costs to move the hill and flatten <br />the slope; requiring many residents to re -grade and /or replace their <br />driveways; and reconstruction of an established residential street and <br />disruption of infrastructure. <br />Ms. Sancilio suggested that petitioners and casual observers should consider <br />fully the hardship they would wreak on this neighborhood; and opined that this <br />was not a simple project, nor was the City in any position to incur these costs; <br />and urged that the City Council keep County Road C -2 closed. <br />Donna Miliotis, 1128 County Road C -2 <br />Ms. Miliotis noted her advocacy in keeping County Road C -2 closed. Ms. <br />Miliotis clarified some misconceptions presented from her perspective. <br />Ms. Miliotis clarified that County Road C -2 was not a county road and had not <br />been one for over thirty (30) years; and that it did not extend over the <br />boundaries of Roseville. Ms. Miliotis suggested that the City rename the road <br />to avoid confusion. Ms. Miliotis reviewed and clarified Roseville roads and their <br />status as MSA (Minnesota State Aid) funded road, at 25 %. Ms. Miliotis quoted <br />from the state aid manual, noting that traffic projections for the future <br />continued to decrease; and noted that the levels of service are not currently, <br />nor would they become deficient at County Road C -2 and Lexington, but were <br />only projected to diminish slightly. Ms. Miliotis noted that the use of MSA <br />funds required social, safety and environmental criteria to determine impacts <br />of any project; and further noted that it was her understanding that Roseville's <br />portion of MSA funds had been used for a number of years; and questioned <br />how the City could even justify using those funds for a roadway not even <br />wanted or needed. <br />http:// www. cityofroseville .com /Archive.aspx ?AMID= &Type= &ADID= 1148 &PREVIE... 10/12/2011 <br />
