Cached road in Section 32 but balance of roadway in
Sections 33,34,35 and 36 would be attached. They were
rather adamant that this was basically their final plan
except for possible hook access roads. Any variations
beyond this, by MNDOT definition, was local responsi-
bility. The additional cost for a detached from IIwy. 13
to Hwy. 80 is estimated at $300,000. The additional
costs for detached road from Hwy. 80 to Hwy. 15,
$250,000. The city council raised a number of objections
to the plan but none were accepted by MNDOT. Mr. Linzie
advised that the road plan would be put into its final
form and submitted to Lake Elmo for a Resolution of
Acceptance. If Lake Elmo does not approve within 60
days, the matter would be referred to the Metro Council
for their approval. Metro Council would review the
proposal and have the power to over -ride either the
local unit of gov't. or MNDOT.
