ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />AGENDA ITEM 3B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director <br />EDAC MEETING DATE: November 14, 2019 <br />TOPIC: Otter Lake Road Extension <br />BACKGROUND <br />Otter Lake Road, north of Main Street, is planned to extend northerly and connect with <br />Elmcrest/241h Avenue along our shared border with the City of Hugo. The City's <br />Comprehensive Plan classifies the road as a future arterial roadway serving the east side of the <br />35E corridor. The initial phase of the project was completed concurrently with the McDonald's <br />project in 2013. <br />Since the proposed roadway will cross several properties it is necessary for the City to coordinate <br />the overall location and design. Additionally, alignment alternatives will have wetland impacts <br />that will need to be evaluated to determine a preferred route. The City did complete some initial <br />considerations in 2013 with phase one of the extension. However, it will be necessary to <br />evaluate additional options due to the anticipated impacts. <br />Staff is now working with WSB and Associates, City Engineer, to develop a preliminary <br />design/concept plan for the proposed extension. The process will include preparation of two <br />alignment alternatives to the north. A property owner meeting will be included in the design <br />process. <br />EDAC CONSIDERATION <br />Discussion on proposed extension. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
