1 1 COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 13, 1991 for the Industrial Park. He noted that the large collector street would qualify for MSA funding. He -also explained that Lilac Street is an outdated trunk highway and because it is the main route to the state prison, the state may be encouraged to participate in the upgrading of Lilac Street and possibly the relocation of the street to the north. The relocation is needed to design a better traffic pattern for the intersections of Lake Drive, I35W and Lilac Street. There was further discussion regarding the location of streets in the Industrial Park and the relocation of Lilac Street. Mr. Schumacher suggested that he approach Mr. Schilling and ask for an option to purchase the Lino Industrial Park. This would give him time to meet with MnDOT regarding Lilac Street and also time to put together a package to purchase the property, improve the property and prepare related costs. It was noted that the state is considering building additional cottages at the prison and fronting them on 4th Avenue. It was noted that 4th Avenue south of Lilac Street is not in good condition. The consensus of the Council is, if the state is going to place any improvements along 4th Avenue, these improvements should be tied to the state participating in the reconstruction of 4th Avenue. It was the consensus of the Council that Mr. Schumacher is directed to negotiate an option with Mr. Schilling based upon a purchase price that is 1/2 the purchase price asked by Mr. Schilling and explain to him why the City feels the land is not worth the current asking price. The work session adjourned at 6:30 P.M. These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a regular Council meeting held on May 28, 1991. nc.�� `17? ( -(erjl n G.
