Resolution No. 92 - 90 can be found at the end of these minutes. Mayor Reinert arrived and assumed the chair. Consideration of Resolution No. 92 - 91 Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids, Apollo Drive, Phase lA (Bids received August 21, 1992, 10:00 A.M., Awarded August 24, 1992) - Plans and specifications for the Apollo Drive project were ordered April 13, 1992. The design of these plans is complete and documents will be ready for bidding on July 27, 1992. To allow flexibility in determining funding sources only Phase IA of the project is to be bid at this time. Phase 1A is the portion of Apollo Drive from the proposed Fourth Avenue extension to Sunset Road. The City will avoid incurring a penalty in loss of State Aid needs of about $40,000.00 if this project is under contract by September 1, 1992. Mr. Schneider used exhibits to outline Phase 1A and Phase 1B. He noted that the alignment of Apollo Drive has been slightly changed and allows for building sites on both sides of the street. Mr. Schneider addressed the concerns of the residents along Marvy Street regarding the number of accesses to Apollo Drive. Originally, Anoka County would only allow three (3) accesses to the street. Now it appears that four (4) accesses will be allowed. These driveway accesses will be coordinated with the new plat of Apollo Meadows. Anoka County has approved this design. Landscaping will provide screening on the back of lots that cannot be subdivided. Outlot C will be used to carry utilities to the Marvy Street area and could also be used for a street. Also Outlot C will be relocated to the east side of Lot 1, Block 12. This will allow the row of trees to be preserved on the old outlot and allow for the subdivision of a second lot on the south end of Lot 2, Block 12 in the future. Chuck Johnson, 120 Marvy Street said that he did not want the outlot relocated because when a street is constructed it will be too close to his house. If the outlot were used for utilities only, he would have not objection. Mr. Johnson told the Council that he was unhappy with the plan and said that everyone in the area got something and he will only get grief. Mr. Schneider explained that Mr. Johnson will be able to split off one (1) lot now and one (1) in the future if Outlot C is developed into a street. Mr. Johnson said that he felt this plan was inconceivable and he would be giving up more than anyone in his PAGE 5 149
