They showed where they did agree to a de Cached road in Section 32 but balance of roadway in Sections 33,34,35 and 36 would be attached. They were rather adamant that this was basically their final plan except for possible hook access roads. Any variations beyond this, by MNDOT definition, was local responsi- bility. The additional cost for a detached from IIwy. 13 to Hwy. 80 is estimated at $300,000. The additional costs for detached road from Hwy. 80 to Hwy. 15, $250,000. The city council raised a number of objections to the plan but none were accepted by MNDOT. Mr. Linzie advised that the road plan would be put into its final form and submitted to Lake Elmo for a Resolution of Acceptance. If Lake Elmo does not approve within 60 days, the matter would be referred to the Metro Council for their approval. Metro Council would review the proposal and have the power to over -ride either the local unit of gov't. or MNDOT.
