He introduced Jim Dvorak and Kate Garwood. 141 142 Consultant Jim Dvorak stated all of the information from the analysis is available on the website at 143 srfconsulting.com, which has been very effective in getting the information out to a lot of people. He lip 144 noted residents could contact his office or Anoka County with questions. He explained the process 3 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 12, 2004 APPROVED 145 for the analysis and major considerations, such as Peltier Lake. He noted they looked at several •146 options based on the Metropolitan Council's full build out numbers of 2030, with the focus of the 147 study being CSAH 14. 148 149 Mr. Dvorak reviewed the three segments that should be focused on now, discussing speeds and traffic 150 volumes. He talked about access points, noting in segment two there are 71 access points, causing 151 them to propose a three -lane road with a center left turn lane. He continued by noting in segment 152 three they are proposing a four -lane divided road, with shoulders and sidewalks included on all three 153 segments. 154 155 Mr. Dvorak reviewed the timeline that has been completed so far involving public meetings, 156 newsletters and the website, with Phase I wrapping up with the presentation of this preliminary study. 157 He noted Phase II will be the preliminary design phase, with a timeline set to be completed by March 158 1, 2005. He noted this phase will include the preliminary design and the environmental document. 159 160 Mr. Dvorak stated they will continue the public information effort, and believe property acquisition 161 could start in the fall or late 2005, with approvals from governing agencies and acquisitions 162 continuing into early 2006. He indicated the project will take at least one construction season; maybe 163 longer. He advised the preliminary design will be done on the existing roadway, however they do 164 recommend the other sections continue to be studied noting changes will eventually have to be made. 165 166 Mr. Dvorak explained the difference in the traffic numbers, noting some include a northerly bypass, 167 and based on their study, the need is there to relieve some of the traffic from downtown Centerville. 168 He indicated another difference in the numbers is looking at full build out of the various cities using 1.169 their land use plans to 2020, which is higher than the Metropolitan Council's 2030 plan, which does 170 not take into consideration some of the commercial and industrial land uses. 171 172 Councilmember Carlson noted she is struggling with the northerly bypass, although she can see the 173 advantages to it. She indicated it is not in Lino Lake's Comprehensive Plan or in their Five -Year 174 Financial Plan. She stated she does not like to give the impression she is committing to something 175 she is not yet committing to do. 176 177 Mr. Dvorak reiterated the northern bypass would be quite some time off; they are only recommending 178 it be looked at in future plans, as it would be in the best interest of both Lino Lakes and Centerville. 179 180 Councilmember Dahl asked if Centerville has approved the report as of yet. Mr. Dvorak indicated 181 Centerville's work session on Wednesday will be the first chance they have to review it, and the 182 Anoka Board will be taking action at the end of the month. 183 184 Kate Garwood noted her job is long-range planning. She indicated while they usually look more at a 185 neighborhood scale, with all the lakes and wetlands in this area they need to look at a larger scale to 186 plan for people and the success of future businesses. 187 188 Councilmember Stoltz moved to adopt Resolution No. 04-100 adopting the County State Aid 189 Highway 14 I -35W to I -35E Alternative Analysis Study. Councilmember Dahl seconded the motion. 190 191 Councilmember Carlson clarified her personal statement that Comprehensive Plan changes should .192 start with the people rather than piecemeal. She verified the Council is not making a commitment to 4 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 12, 2004 APPROVED 193 change their Comprehensive Plan by adopting this study. Community Development Director •194 Grochala confirmed that as laid out in the resolution, they are only accepting the study and 195 recognizing there are some concerns that need to be kept in mind when planning future development. 196 197 Mayor Bergeson noted the study points out the need for an east/west connection at a County or State 198 level, and also that actual construction planned is not a 50 -year solution for the roads. He indicated 199 they need to keep in mind the scope of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan, which is for local 200 planning, and although Lino Lakes may have input, this is not really part of their Comprehensive 201 Plan. 202 203 Motion carried unanimously. 204 205 Resolution No. 04-100 can be found in the City Clerk's office. 206 207 D.

He introduced Mr. Bob Moberg from Short, Elliot and Hendrickson. 211 212 Mr. Moberg briefly reviewed the feasibility report, noting the various line items incorporated in the 213 total cost. He reviewed the schedule for completion of the project. 214 215 Councilmember Carlson clarified the only action the Council is taking tonight is to open and close the 216 public hearing, and that any assessments would be against the benefiting properties, which would be •217 the development group and the City, which was confirmed. 218 219 Community Development Director Grochala noted the assessments would be divided on an area 220 basis, in general. 221 222 Mayor Bergeson opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. 223 224 Councilmember Stoltz moved to close the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. Councilmember Dahl 225 seconded the motion. 226 227 Discussion ensued on whether to leave the public hearing open until more information is available on 228 additional funding sources, and how much each benefiting property will have to pay. Staff noted that 229 from the standpoint of public improvements it would not be necessary to keep the public hearing 230 open, but there will be a big decision on the part of the Council before ordering plans and 231 specifications, with more discussion taking place and further opportunity for public input. There was 232 concern that leaving this hearing open would confuse the issue as it is different from discussion on 233 project financing. The City Attorney opined the Council could proceed either way. 234 235 Vote: 3 Ayes —1 Nay. Motion carried. Councilmember Carlson opposed. (Reinert absent). 236 237 E.
