1. Many businesses are in the process of making long term business decisions and need to know what the final alignment will be soon. 2. Many property owners need to know exact dimensions of the realignment so that their site can be adjusted to take advantage of the new road frontage. The City staff has met individually with representatives of Cummins Diesel, Indianhead, Ryan, Hyman Freightways, and Weyerhaeuser. These meetings reemphasized the need to know what the final alignment and exact dimensions of the realignment would be. The impact of the realignment on the Hyman Freightways maintenance/safety building was not addressed in the study. City staff will be working with Hyman Freightways to address this issue. At the first reading, on October 14, 1996, the City Council accepted comment (written and verbal). Staff Recommendation: The Twin Lakes Business Park plan was adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan in 1994, including the location of Twin Lakes Parkway. If the location of the Parkway is to be changed, then a Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be required. It is recommended that the City Council approve a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to incorporate the BRW study and its findings as part of the Twin Lakes Master Plan and the thoroughfare plan and submit it to the Metropolitan Council for review. Assuming the Council approves this amendment and the Metropolitan Council reviews it positively, the next step will be to authorize staff to do a feasibility study to determine exact location and phasing of roadway improvements. The third step will be to prepare an "official road map" which is a plat illustrating the exact amount of land needed for the realignment. The "official mapping" process is a State law that allows a City to designate a future road right-of-way and give the City an opportunity (6 months) to buy that right-of-way prior to future building construction in the right-of-way (see attachment). Planning Commission Recommendations: On October 9, 1996, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve a resolution adopting an amendment to Roseville Comprehensive Plan subject to review and comment of the amendment by the Metropolitan Council. The Commission further recommended that the City Council authorize staff to begin the feasibility and "official right-of-way mapping" process as soon as practical after approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Suggested Council Actions: 1. Seek additional public input, close the hearing. 4
