CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 28, 1994 An informational meeting was held for the property owners in September, 1993 and staff heard their opinions and received letters as follow-up. Opinion is divided to the extent that the property owners have not been willing to petition for the project. MnDOT is insisting that we at least pursue this project to the public hearing phase. Staff is recommending that a feasibility report be presented for this project as a Council initiated project in order to hold the public hearing. Most of the work on this report had to be done to continue with the processing of the Lake Drive/Highway 49 Plans for MnDOT. Council Member Bergeson asked who will pay for the feasibility report. Mr. Schneider explained that if it is decided to not proceed with the project, the cost of the report will be included in the Lake Drive/Highway 49 project. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 16 Ordering a Report and Calling a Public Hearing on the Service Road Improvement on North Side of Lake Drive and East of Second Avenue. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 16 can be found at the end of these minutes.
