LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 10-2-84 PAGE 13 M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - To eliminate the 3.2 beer license requirement from the CUP for Green Acres Recreational Center. (Motion carried 3-1 <Fraser.>). C. Planning Commission's request regarding traffic conditions on Highway #5 and CSAH 17 (near the school). Eder stated that the City has passed resolutions in the past regarding this. He suggested that we get the County Engineer and our Engineer to look at it from the standpoint of should we start doing something again in terms of looking at stop lights or speed zoning. Fraser stated she agrees it is a mess; but we have tried and tried to have something done - to no avail. Bruce Folz suggested something else for the Council to look at. He recently submitted a preliminary plat for Brookman's commercial area which has a street going thru on the plan from Lake Elmo all the way to Highway 212. The idea behind that was to open this up. This is the only expansion area for the City of Lake Elmo for the downtown commercial area to handle. It would also alleviate the traffic from the intersection by the school. The City has from 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile of State Aid alloted street that has not been designated. Someplace down the road in the long range future planning it would be very desirabe for the City to have this State Aid street. Start to accumulate highway need funds based on a municipal street. It is not doing the City any good being undesignated. Eder asked Mr. Folz if he thought it would be worthwhile to ask the County and State to look at the problem again. Mr. Folz stated that if the City can prove that there is a need, you could get stop lights, but does not think that based on what a real problem is, that the City has a problem at these intersecions.
