MINiTPES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 22, 1995 maintenance issue of the road with the Administrator. Anderson pointed out MN DOT's past actions in resurfacing the Viking Drive loop and providing access to the area via County Road B-2. Anderson asked if the Council felt that the property owners had a basis for claiming State participation in trie project. Fahey stated that the City had no problem with City staff requesting that the State participate in the cost of the improvement since they participated in the original road improvement. Anderson pointed out that the State will maintain jurisdiction over the loop area. Anderson reported that Mr. Ericson has indicated that a portion of the road is on his property and off the easement area. Anderson asked that the City consider extending the road improvement to the Ericson's driveway. Morelan asked if the easement extended to the Ericson's driveway, and if not, would the Ericson's be willing to dedicate the necessary easement. Anderson replied that Mr. Ericson has indicated that the easement is there. Scalze asked about the 30 foot easement running east and west, and whether those property owners were willing to dedicate this easement. Scalze also asked why the road should not be widened beyond the 18 feet proposed if there is to be a cul-de-sac at the end. The City Administrator reported that the 18 foot width works given the existing uses in the area including trees, driveway impact, fences, and the powerline. Fahey pointed out that all these issues can be addressed in time for a change-order to the 1995 improvements. The concept being proposed at this time is a 30 foot easement with an 1S foot wide street mat, and a 12 foot wide street mat for the looped area. The concept could be approved subject to resolution of easement issues and verification of issues discussed. Fahey asked the reaction of the neighborhood to the one-way option. Fahey felt that a two-way would require a wider street mat. 10
