Plan when State and Federal approval and funds
are.sought; Lyons moved, seconded by Pott, that

alternatives for realignment of Co. Road 13,

pretty much determined by topography and the need
for an adequate crossing over the railroad tracks.

sidering recent subdivision north of Lake Jane,

Minutes of the January 30, 1978 Special Meeting of the Lake ElmoPg 2
City Council
Co. Road 13 Realignment-cont'd.-- The County expressed concern about
dividing the landfill site from Sunfish Park,
cutting into the Park area and platted lots in
Lake Jane Hills 3rd. Addition,- and the limited
demand for the improvement at this time. They
said Ideal Avenue would become a City Street once
Co. Road 13 is moved; and vacation of any or all
of it would be up to the City and 3M, when the
time comes. Therefore, access for the Baptist
Church will not be interrupted.
All agreed that the power line corridor north
of Lake Jane would be an appropriate location
ftir the road: They decided it would take several
PZC meetings to resolve the alignment south of
Lake Jane.to Highway 212. Realignment straight
south on Jamaca was also discussed, but might
be a problem when 3M develops.
Pott moved, seconded by Lyons, that the Plann-
ing Commission be directed to work with the
County Engineers on the alignment of the corridor
for future Co. Rd. 13. Motion carried unani-
mously with Morgan and Armstrong absent.
Council meeting adjourned at 7e50p,a.m.p so that Council could join
