COUNCIL MEETING July 28, 1986 Page Twelve ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STALLBERG A. West Shadow Lake Drive Feasibility Report - Resolution #20 -86 - Mr. Stallberg presented a map to the Council indicating a different alignment for West Shadow Lake Drive in the area where the creek runs under the road. He also explained regardless of where the road is placed soil borings would be needed to determine how much fill is needed. He asked for Council approval of the alignment. Mr. Davidson told the Council that their hydraulics department will study what effect the lake will have on determining what type of bridge construction is needed. He asked the Council to consider whether or not there will be canoe traffic under the new bridge. A bridge structure as opposed to a large culvert could cost three times as much as the culvert. There was a question as to why the road was being realigned. Mr. Stallberg explained that this is a proposed state aid road and state aid funds would pay for the reconstruction. Therefore, the road must meet state aid standards. The curve in the road south of the bridge would not meet state aid specifications. Mr. Schumacher noted that RCWD is doing a study to develop control of the waters in and out of Reshanau Lake. He asked Mr. Stallberg to correlate his study with the RCWD study. Mr. Stallberg also noted a DNR permit would be required if the project goes forward. Mr. Marier said that he understood this project was to correct the problem of water flooding the street not to construct a whole new roadway. Mr. Davidson explained if the City planned to use state aid funds to correct the problem, the project must meet state aid standards which would require some realignment of the road as well as obtaining additional right -of -way and providing an adequate open- ing for water to flow. This will also require review by the state aid department. Mr. Marier was concerned about the time involved to complete the reconstruction so that flooding would not occur again in the spring. There was further discussion regarding the portion of road to be reconstructed. Mayor Benson asked that the area of reconstruction be determined so that it would follow the existing roadbeds as closely as possible. He also requested the estimated cost. Mr. Stallberg said he would proceed on the soils work. Mr. Volk had completed a traffic count on this street during the time the golf course was closed. He will be doing another traffic count now that the golf course has been reopened to determine the effect of golf course traffic on this area. He proposed asking the County for assistance in upgrading the road. 1 1 1
