Agenda Item NO 7A Staff Originator: David Ahrens, Public Works Director /City Engineer Date; June 12, 1998 RE: Public Hearing for Apollo Drive, Phase 3, Street Improvements Introduction The City is proposing the construction of Apollo Drive, Phase 3, Street improvements. A feasibility report was prepared for the City by SEH and received by the City Council on May 11, 1998. Background The proposed improvements involve the extension of Apollo Drive from the existing northerly termination point at Lilac Street to the north and east approximately 1,380 feet to Lake Drive. The improvements will also require reconstruction of approximately 200 lineal feet of the existing Apollo Drive south of Lilac Street, to allow for the required transition to superelevation through the curve north of Lilac Street. The project is located in the south half of Section 8, Township 31N, Range 22W and the north half of Section 17, Township 31N, Range 22W, in the City of Lino Lakes, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota. Due to the close proximity of the proposed Apollo Drive/Lake Drive intersection to the existing Lilac Street/Lake Drive intersection and the resulting traffic safety concerns, it is proposed to eliminate the existing Lilac Street/Lake Drive intersection. Also included in the proposed improvements is the installation of storm sewer to handle area storm water drainage and a regional retention and detention pond. The regional pond would be designed for Apollo Drive and all development next to the proposed street. It is anticipated that, prior to this project, trunk sanitary sewer and water main will be constructed through this area as part of the Lake Drive trunk system project, which was previously ordered by the City Council.
