• <br />0 <br />MINUTES MARCH 18, 1998 <br />This item was tabled and will be brought back to the April 8th work session. <br />14. Review Lake Drive Trunk Utility Design, Dave Ahrens <br />Before Dave presented his review, Chris asked who would benefit from the <br />construction of the second "leg" of this project. Dave identified several areas. <br />Chris was concerned that a lot of money was being spent to develop <br />additional housing thereby making the mix between commercial/industrial <br />development and housing development even more out of balance. <br />Dave explained that the first segment of this project is scheduled for <br />construction in 1998 and the second segment starting at 79th Street is <br />scheduled for 1999. <br />Dave identified issues relating to the extension of Apollo Drive to Lake Drive. <br />He has set a meeting with the property owners, the City appraisers and the <br />City Attorney to try and avoid eminent domain proceedings in obtaining <br />right-of-way for this extension. <br />As drafting of the plans and specifications for the Lake Drive trunk utilities <br />trunk line has proceeded, several areas of concern have surfaced. The major <br />concern is the cost of the relocation of utility services currently in the right- <br />of-way on the west side of Lake Drive. Dave is in the process of looking at the <br />right-of-way on the east side of Lake Drive. When the consultants have <br />completed the analysis of costs associated with locating utilities on the east <br />side of the street, he will come back to the Council and update. <br />There was additional discussion regarding how far north this project should <br />go. Three (3) of the Council members want the project to proceed as <br />previously ordered. <br />Dave noted that Anoka County will allow utilities to be constructed down the <br />middle of the roadway on Main Street to the Lino Elementary School. Main <br />Street traffic will be rerouted during construction. <br />Dave will be holding additional informational meetings with the residents <br />and other utility companies. <br />15.
