CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 03-30 REQUESTING DESIGN ELEMENT VARIANCE FOR ELM STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota proposes to reconstruct Elm Street from Sunset Road (Anoka County No. 53) to Grey Heron Drive utilizing monies from its Municipal State Aid account. The total project is approximately 0.96 miles in roadway centerline length with stationing starting at the west end of the project at Sunset Road. See attached location/design map marked as Exhibit "A ". The State Aid Project Number is 210 - 102 -02 for the proposed Elm Street Reconstruction. The variance request involves two curves that do not meet the minimum horizontal alignment requirements from the Minnesota State Aid Operation Rules - Table 8820.9936 for Geometric Design Standards; New or Reconstruction Projects. The requirement states that a minimum of 30 mph in design speed must be maintained for collector roadways with ADT < 10,000. However, due to the existing conditions, such as an elevated connecting county road that crosses over I -35W and existing home locations, the City is requesting that a seventy-five (75) centerline horizontal radius curve posted for 15 mph be approved. Currently, these two curves are posted for 15 mph. The proposed and current posted speed limit for the remainder of Elm Street to the east of the curves will be 35 mph. There will be no street parking allowed on Elm Street. The two variance roadway curves are located starting at Sunset Road: (1) PC = 0+15.05 to PT = 1 +16.91 and (2) PC = 4+21.40 to PT =5 +37.12. See attached Exhibit "A ". WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the State of Minnesota and its agents and employees of and from all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or by reason of the granting of the variance. It shall defend at its sole cost and expense any action or proceeding begun asserting any claim of whatever character arising as a result of the granting of the variance. IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED: The City of Lino Lakes requests that the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Variance Advisory Committee allow a variance on its proposed Elm Street Reconstruction project for two (2) horizontal curves located just to the east of Sunset Road. The curves will be posted for 15 mph versus the 30 mph as stipulated by the State Aid Operations Rules: 8820.9936. This resolution was passed this 24th day of February, 2003, by the City of Lino Lakes in Anoka County, Minnesota.
