MINUTES, LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL February 19, 1980 page four (Engineer's report, continued: G.) 1-94 FRONTAGE ROADS: Armstrong indicated the church did not want the access road to continue around the Guardian Angels cemetery. The Council agreed it was unnecessary. Armstrong moved, seconded by Mottaz, to hold a Special City Council meeting March 12, 1980, at 7:30 P.M. in the Guardian Angels Church, Rm 2, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on the noise barriers and frontage road design along I-94. Motion carried 5-0. Miscellaneous Items: Bohrer reported that Mn//DOT intends to redesignate Trunk•. Highway 212 from T.H. 36 to Stillwater, T.H. 36; and call it T.H. 5 within Lake Elmo. He also advised the Council that the City may have to acquire additional right—of—way for the M.S.A. street improvements to Beats, Julep, 45th, and 47th. The Council agreed this should be included in the feasibility study, a cost estimate provided, and a decision made at that time how to acquire it. FOXFIRE GATES: Several property owners from the area along Jane Road North reiterated their conviction that the gate should stay; and the road should be open to emergency vehicles only. The Council decided a survey of all property owners is not necessary at this time; the gate should stays the street sign should be removed; and a larger chain should be used, if necessary, to keep down the vandalism. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT: A. The Planning Commission needs half —section map and a larger plat map to complete the non —conforming lot study. Pott moved, seconded by Armstrong, that the City buy the necessary maps, at and approximate cost of $55.00. Motion carried 5-0. B. The Council discussed speed problems on Hwy. 212 with Dale Furstenberg; and agreed that no study of the speed zone was necessary at this time. \, C. Whittaker advised the Council that the Planning Commission is reviewing the old highway plans for the City and considering a new over—all highway plan, which would, at least, identify future collectors. D. Oakdale Comp. Plan — The Council expressed the following con— cerns about the draft comprehensive plan for the City of Oakdale: 1. The proposed commercial area north of 40th street does not appear to mix well with adjacent uses in Lake Elmo, which area primarily large lot non—sewered residential areas; 2. Improvement of 40th street to a full four lanes to Olsen Lake Trail could pose problems on that street. The Council would prefer traffic be directed to 1-694, possibly be narrowing the road to two lanes as it approaches Olsen Lake Trail. 3. The Council believes the collector between 10th and County Road 6 would serve development in Oakdale primarily; and should, therefore, be entirely within Oakdale.
