<br />added that the City Council will be looking more at the cost so they need <br />to be very aware of that. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet said the main problem he sees with Alternative #3 is <br />access for emergency vehicles, if something is blocking the new road off <br />Fairview, how do they get in. Bloom said they could consider having <br />drive-over curbs on the cul-de-sacs, but also Snelling will be open as a <br />right-inlright-out intersection. Member DeBenedet said that if the <br />commercial alternatives are selected, the city would be tied up in court for <br />a long time and nothing would be accomplished. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet said he'd like to get it down to two <br />recommendations- #3 and #6 make the most sense because of cost and <br />number of homes impacted. <br /> <br />Member Fischer said #6 is the only option to the north so that should be <br />included, but should they present more than one option for the east and <br />west so maybe #4 should be included as well. <br /> <br />Member Neprash said he had problems with #6 in that it doesn't resolve <br />the Fairview problem. Also, the State could come in any time and totally <br />close Snelling so that shouldn't be counted on as a permanent access. He <br />thinks they should resolve Fairview access by having a complete, signaled <br />intersection and then have the access on C as an alternative if they totally <br />close Snelling. Bloom said she believes for the State to totally close an <br />intersection, they have to have municipal consent. Schwartz said that <br />County Road C was just reconstructed with the idea of a full intersection <br />in mind and that there are problems with a Fairview access. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring asked what problems there will be with a new <br />railroad crossing. Schwartz said we already have a crossing. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet said that there are things he likes about Alternative <br />#4, but the curves could be sharpened a bit. <br /> <br />Member Neprash suggested they move forward with Alteratives #3, #4 <br />and #6. Bloom said she would try to sharpen #4. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring said they would recommend Alternatives #3, #4 and <br />#6 to the residents at the public hearing in October. <br /> <br />Member Neprash asked how aware the residents were of this process. <br />Bloom said they were definitely aware that discussions were happening. <br />Member Neprash asked what kind of outreach, especially to the residents <br />directly affected, would be appropriate. Bloom said she would send <br />mailings to all residents in the area. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
