<br />Joel Fischer asked ifMn/DOT would consider leaving the 3/4 intersection <br />as it is now. Chris Roy said they feel because of safety and proximity to <br />other intersections, the median at Oakcrest needs to be closed completely. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring said he thought the Commission could come to a <br />decision and make a recommendation to the Council in January. <br /> <br />Member Fischer asked ifthere was an appeal process to this kind of thing. <br />Chris Roy said there are many situations where municipal consent is <br />needed. The closing of a median is not one of those situations, but they <br />have met with the city numerous times to try to work out a solution. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet brought up the possibility of opening an access on <br />Fry at County Road C. Deb Bloom said that access had been discussed <br />several years ago when County Road C was being planned. There was no <br />support within the neighborhood at that time to create that access and now <br />it is too late. <br /> <br />Duane Schwartz asked the Commission how they wanted to proceed on <br />this topic. Member Willenbring suggested further discussion in January. <br />Member DeBenedet said he wasn't convinced that the spacing argument <br />was valid. Member Fischer said he's not sure that there really is a <br />problem at this intersection, and if not, they should leave it the way it is. <br /> <br />Deb Bloom said that Mn/DOT has been clear on the fact that they will <br />close the intersection, whether the City comes up with an alternative or <br />not, which is the agreement that was made with the City Council. <br />Member DeBenedet said he believes the agreement could be renegotiated. <br /> <br />6. Twin Lakes AUAR update <br /> <br />Duane Schwartz outlined the AUAR process and presented the current <br />version of the report. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet wondered who was going to pay for everything in the <br />report. Deb Bloom said it would be the responsibility of the developer. <br /> <br />Member Fischer was concerned about the 6 acres of oak forest that is <br />going to be developed. <br /> <br />7.
