MINUTES CITE' COUNCIL MAY 119 2022 Keis agreed. Fischer stated that it needs to be resolved who would pay for the Vanderbie street. extension. Keis- asked if traffic studies have been done on the roads that are there now. The City Administrator stated that Ramsey County requested a traffic analysis be done, and the City Engineer has been looking specifically at intersection controls and would it meet the criteria for 2-way or 4-way stops. He noted that so far it is unlikely to meet the criteria for 4-way stops. Torkelson pointed out the traffic study does not focus on the specific Vanderbie and Allen intersections;. and asked if more information could be gotten from the intersections that would directly be impacted. The City Administrator stated they can get information from similar sized developments. Fischer stated that we need to find out if the developer is willing to help direct the traffic north. Torkelson stated that traffic calming measures could also help decrease traffic going south and.slow down the traffic. The City Administrator explained that the Parks Master Plan that was adopted in 2018 includes sidewalk connections going north and south on Vanderbie, on the Desoto corridor, and east and west along the powerline corridor and Allen Avenue. Torkelson clarified that the planned sidewalk seems unnecessary now because it would not connect to anything, but the future plans are to have it connect to other trails or sidewalks. Keis stated he would like to table the decision to give Lennar some time to see if they will address some of the concerns heard tonight. Fischer agreed and thanked Lennar for being willing to make changes so far, and he hopes they will continue to work with the city and it can get across the finish line. Keis noted that Lennar has other townhome projects in the metro area that are similar so residents could see how they are laid out and how people move through them.
