COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 10, 1998 n specifications for the extension of Apollo Drive from its current terminus at Lilac Street to Lake Drive. Staff is not requesting Council action to advertise for bids at this time. This action is planned for January, 1999. The construction of Apollo Drive from Sunset Road to Lake Drive was first discussed in 1990. The portion of Apollo drive from Sunset Road to Lilac Street is complete and the plans and specifications for the final phase was ordered recently at the July 13, 1998, Council meeting. The proposed improvements include extending Apollo Drive from its current terminus with Lilac Street northerly approximately 1,400 feet to Lake Drive. Apollo Drive is proposed to be constructed to the same section as existing Apollo Drive which is 52 feet wide and a10-ton axle load. Due to the close proximity of the proposed Apollo Drive/Lake Drive intersection to the existing Lilac Street/Lake Drive intersection and the resulting safety concerns, it is proposed to eliminate the existing Lilac Street/Lake Drive intersection. Mr. Ahrens indicated Council had questioned the proposed pond design at the July 13, 1998, Council meeting. Staff has discussed the pond design with the City's consulting engineer.
