1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 13, 1995 Otter Lake Road would accommodate the additional traffic. Mr. Sohrweide said yes, he is confident of his original statement in this matter. Mr. Powell said that if any upgrading is contemplated for Otter Lake Road, it would be the addition of turn lanes where the traffic from the subdivision comes onto Otter Lake Road. There is a long range consideration of rerouting Otter Lake Road if commercial development to the north at the I35E intersection begins. In addition, the City of Hugo is looking at upgrading Elmcrest Avenue (24th Avenue) in the near future. If this happens, traffic from future phases of the development could possibly use 24th Avenue. Mayor Reinert noted that SEH is currently studying the Otter Lake Road corridor to offer recommendation for future street improvement and future connection to CSAH 14 (Main Street). This study is anticipated to be completed by October, 1995. Mr. Powell explained that SEH completed a study of business and general industrial development along CSAH 14 (Main Street). This study will recommend that when commercial development begins at the I35E/CSAH 14 intersection, Otter Lake Road should be shifted away from the freeway. A sketch concept review was completed last August as well as the actual traffic study assuming ultimate build -out of future development areas including the light industrial/general business areas at the I35E/CSAR intersection. Mayor Reinert asked if the density will be affected by reduction of lots in the proposed subdivision. Mr. Powell explained the density will be slightly less. Mayor Reinert asked about the sentence which states, "we would recommend the City continue the preliminary plat public hearing to allow the Clearwater Creek Basin Study to be completed in order to properly evaluate the storm drainage aspect. Mr. Powell explained that this is obsolete information and the study has been completed and reviewed at the joint Lino Lakes, Hugo Council meeting. Mayor Reinert asked again if staff could tell him the number of lots in the City available for construction at this time. Ms. Wyland explained that as of December 31, 1994, there were 241 lots existing platted lots. Two (2) possible subdivisions may be available this construction season, Trappers Crossing, Phase I with a maximum of approximately 28 lots and Behm's Century Farms with approximately 25 lots in the first phase. If Clearwater Creek, Phase I becomes available with 85 lots, the total lot inventory would be approximately 380 lots. Mr. Powell noted that many of the lots would not be available until late fall of this year since neither Trapper's Crossing and Behm's Century Farms has not been final platted. It was noted that the platted lots available for construction at the beginning of this building PAGE 15
