Consideration of Authorization to Proceed with Field Survey, Lake Drive and Highway 49 - Mr. Boxrud explained that extension planning and engineering work has been performed to provide for a realignment of Lake Drive and Highway 49 in order to accommodate the proposed Rice Lake Plaza development. The developer has not proceeded as quickly as desired and a resident on North Road has constructed a residential garage in the area very close to the right -of -way. The project has been delayed to the point where Anoka County is concerned about being able to retain the funding they have allocated for their share of this project. In order to maintain the Anoka county and Mn /DOT commitments to the project, it may be advisable to complete and obtain approval of the preliminary layout so that when the developer is ready to proceed, the City can proceed immediately with preparation of plans and specifications for the proposed improvement. The work to be accomplished to complete the geometric layout includes field locating survey control points and existing monumentation in the area, computing the final alignment of the proposed roadways, obtaining topographic data along the alignment, setting preliminary grades, and submitting the entire package to Mn /DOT and Anoka County for approval. All of this work will be usable during preparation of plans and specifications, whenever the project does proceed. It was noted that if this work is not done now, the project may be delayed for years because of lack of funding from Mn /DOT and Anoka County. Council Member Reinert moved to authorize completion of the surveys and the geometric layout in order to be prepared for development in the area. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion.
