MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 14, 2015 <br />that he is prepared to work with MN DOT and Little Canada to resolve <br />this issue. <br />The Administrator also noted that there is brush growing through the <br />Country Drive freeway fence along the stretch from Little Canada Road <br />through the Water Works that needs to be cleaned. He suggested that this <br />was a maintenance issue for MN DOT that should be resolved and was a <br />condition of our consent on Phase I. He also pointed out that the City has <br />either a collapsed or separate pipe along Country Drive, just north of Little <br />Canada Road, that the City would like to repair. Coordinating this work <br />with the Phase II project would result in a cost savings for the City. <br />Kauppi indicated that they would like at both these issues. <br />The Administrator thanked MN DOT for working with Rocky Waite to <br />get Savage Lake dredging accomplished. <br />Kauppi indicated that MN DOT will also be doing a project on 694 from <br />Rice Street to Lexington in 2017. The Administrator pointed out the need <br />for the improvement of the Rice Street Bridge, which does not appear to <br />be a part of this project. Kauppi indicated that the County is pursuing <br />funding for the bridge improvement. <br />The Administrator noted the retaining wall work that is planned along <br />Canabury Drive and its impact on our local streets in this area. There was <br />considerable discussion about minimizing road closures in this area, given <br />the impact to residents especially in light of train traffic. Herzog <br />explained the project in detail, and noting that the goal is to work as <br />quickly as possible to minimize that impact. He also noted that pile <br />driving would occur during the day -time hours, thus minimizing noise <br />impacts to residents. The Council requested that detailed information be <br />sent to residents in the area explaining the project, project schedule, and <br />providing contact numbers that residents could call to report any issues <br />that might arise. <br />The Administrator reported that at this evening's meeting, the Council is <br />being asked to call a public hearing to consider municipal consent for the <br />Phase 11 project. He indicated that he would prepare a List of any issues <br />that the City night have relative to this project to attach as a condition of <br />approval of the Phase 11 project. He would continue to work with MN <br />DOT to resolve issues related to the Unweave The Weave project and the <br />MnPASS Phase I project. <br />4 <br />
