COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 10, 1996 Mayor Landers noted the park and ride lot located between Otter Lake Road and I35E and asked if it would be accessed from Main Street or the new street. Mr. Ahrens said it would be accessed by a driveway to the new street. He will be notifying Anoka County about this change. Mayor Landers asked what will be the tonage for the new road. Mr. Ahrens said it would be a nine (9) ton road, however, because of poor subgrade soils, the base and the blacktop will be unusually thick. Council Member Bergeson said that it is important that this road be constructed so that the development can progress without any interruption. Council Member Lyden asked if there will be an issue with creating ponding on the Northern States Power (NSP) right-of-way. Mr. Ahrens said that he has not contacted NSP, however he is aware of other ponds with the power lines running through it. NSP will be notified and their concerns will be taken into consideration.
