• AGENDA ITEM 6D STAFF ORIGINATOR: COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: Vote Required: BACKGROUND: James E. Studenski, City Engineer March 14, 2011 Resolution No. 11 -34, Turnback Lilac Street (County Road 153 and County State Aid Highway 153) Simple Majority Apollo Drive was constructed in the 1990's. This became part of the Anoka County's roadway system serving east/west traffic from Highway 65 via 109th Avenue to Lake Drive. Accordingly, Lilac Street no longer served as a countywide function and was proposed for turnback to the City of Lino Lakes as a municipal street. Under State Law, counties have the authority to revoke any county highway. Provisions for the turnback of Lilac Street were included in the I -35E /CSAH 14 Interchange Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes, which the City approved on October 12, 2009. Anoka County has previously performed maintenance on the road and last year replaced a large culvert at the intersection of Lilac Street and 4th Avenue. The JPA also has Anoka County crediting the City $300,000.00 for additional maintenance improvements. The Anoka County Board revoked the County Road designation for Lilac Street from Sunset Avenue to Apollo Drive on October 26, 2010. The CSAH portion of Lilac Street from 4th Avenue to Apollo Drive requires concurrence by the City to be placed on the Minnesota State Aid System (MSAS). The entire length of the Lilac turnback will collect additional maintenance funding and construction funding as part of the City's MSAS. A map is attached which shows the two segments of Lilac Street. The road was made up of a 0.98 mile County Road (CR 153) segment from Sunset Avenue to 4th Avenue and a 0.34 mile County State Aid Highway (CSAH 153) segment from 4th Avenue to Apollo Drive. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 11 -34, Accepting Lilac Street from Anoka County.
