School Speed Zone Study for Lake Elmo Elementary School on CSAH17 On February 2, 1999, the Council adopted a resolution requesting Mn/DOT to do a speed study on Highway 5, between Klondike and Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH17). Concurrent with the City's request was one from the school asking for a school speed zone on CSA1117. The City received a letter and school speed zone study for the Lake Elmo Elementary School from Wayne Sandberg, Washington County Traffic Engineer. A decision was made to deny a school speed zone in this area based on a number of factors stated in this letter. Administrator Kueffner pointed out no covered in this letter was a discussion on the flashing beacon that the City settled for a few years back when our request for a semaphore was denied for lack of meeting Mn/DOT's warrants. The City shares the cost of this flashing beacon with the school district and Mn/DOT provided and installed the used light. Jolene Servatius, Mn/DOT, said that this beacon is nearing its useful life and that Mn/DOT would not replace it when it goes out. She suggested that the light be controlled form the school so that it only flashes during school hours. M/S/P Hunt/Siedow — direct the City Administrator to send a letter to Washington County Commissioner, Bill Pulkrabek, indicating the School Speed Zone Study for Lake Elmo Elementary School is totally unacceptable, that we need to appeal the decision and request further consideration for a school zone. This item can be attached to a Village Commission agenda for its input. (Motion passed 4-0). B.
