LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AUGUST 3, 1982 SPECIAL MEETING ON HIGHWAY PLAN Mayor Eder convened the meeting at 6:12 p.m. Councillors Present: Novak, Mottaz and Fraser, Morgan Absent, Also present, Administrator Whittaker Eder explained that the purpose of the meeting was to establish a Lake Elmo position for a meeting with the City of Oakdale and the Washington County Highway Department to talk about the realignment of 50th Street and relocation of CSAH designations. County 13 r"Relocation - The Council reviewed the proposed relocation of County around t e east side of Lake Jane; and agreed that,based on the area left to develop in this section and the traffic that would be generated, a collector in this area is not justified. This would concur with the County''s past action of not including this proposal in their Capital Improvement Program, The improvement of Keats and future improvement of City MSA streets from Lake Jane to CSAH 17 and Highway 36 would handle futureresidentialtraffic from the -area. Exiting south to State Highway 5 would probably be a preferred route for residents south of Lake Jane. County 19� - The City wants to see County 19 built as a parkway type road coming up to the Regional Park; but have requested via R- that this not be designated a County State Aid Highway, --Mottaz - County will have to pick up some CSAH-designation for Co, 19, The Council agreed that the State Aid designation for CASH 17 from I-94, Highway 12,to loth Street, which must be given up once I-94 is completed, should be assigned to loth Street from CSAH 17 to proposed County 19. CASH 17 would remain a State -aid highway from loth Street to Highway 5, 50th,Street - The Council decided not to give up CSAH desig`,'ation for Demontrevillle Trail in order to expedite construction of 50th Street in Oakdale, The Council wants to see 50th Street realigned to Highway 36 and agreed to give up CSAH designation on CSAH 6 from Highway 5 to the City limit, If Oakdale would give up their CSAH designation for CSAH 6 from 13B to Highway 120, there would then be adequate CSAH designation to build 50th Street, NO PARKING ZONE ON CSAH 17 Whittaker advised the Council that the County Highway Department wanted the City to repuest a "No Parking" zone be posted on CSAH 17, both sides, from State Highway 5 to a point about 300 feet south. He said the County wanted this so that they could cut down on the flagrant parking violations now occuring there.,. Novak - wondered why this was not brought up at LEBA meeting on this inter- section. Fraser - thought the Council should let property owners know about this before acting on it, Eder - if you tell property owners about this, they might take care of the / problem Council agreed that City Administrator should meet with Larry Bousquet and the affected property owners to better define the problem and determine if it could be solved without posting a "No Parking" zone.
