Attorney Meyers mentioned items which require a close watch by the City. He <br />stated that since this development does involve complicated legal requirements, <br />it would be wise to work closely with the developer at each stage of the way <br />so that the townhouse development can progress properly. <br />Engineer Bearden stated that he had reviewed the proposed plat and suggests <br />that in conjunction with the development of Red Oak Estates #2 the three <br />east -west drainage swales were constructed on a portion of the proposed plat. <br />A 20 foot wide drainage easement is indicated for one of the drainageways and <br />easements for the other two drainageways should be indicated on the proposed <br />plat. He also suggested that the developer furnish a grading and development <br />plan that shows the final grades and floor elevations of the proposed town- <br />houses to 'show how drainage will be handled and the developer should furnish <br />a plan indicating the method of supplying utilities to the townhouse lots. <br />MSP (Neisen- Baumgartner) To direct the Deputy Clerk to forward a copy of <br />Engineer Bearden's letter of July 18, 1974 regarding Red Oak Estates No. 3 <br />with a letter stating that before the signature of the hard shell plat and the <br />issuance of any more building permits these conditions be met. 5 Ayes <br />Engineer Bearden's Report <br />Engineer Bearden stated that the letter handed to him earlier in the meeting <br />on soil exploration work for the addition to the municipal building.should <br />just be placed in our files and there was no need to respond to this. <br />The Engineer said that in conjuntion with the signals that the Highway Dept. <br />is proposing on County Road H2 and County Road I and Highway #10 various plans <br />are starting to come through his office for lane additions at these two points <br />and they expect to have documents ready for a letting in October for the signals <br />at these two points. They would like to meet and explain their proposal to <br />someone from the Council. Engineer Bearden requested that someone from the <br />Council meet with the Highway Department and himself sometime this week. It <br />was decided that Councilman Hodges would go if available and if not Mayor <br />Neisen would attend. <br />Engineer Bearden said that in connection with that he attended a meeting in <br />Blaine regarding Highway #10; the part that isn't constructed through Blaine <br />and Coon Rapids. The Highway Department officials that were at that meeting <br />said that they would do two things to try to handle the problem of that road <br />not being built. They were going to do a traffic count on a weekend on County <br />Road J and that area to find out how many people are cutting through Mounds <br />View and Blaine and two, they would try to initiate an environmental inpact <br />statement which is a necessary prerequisite to any construction for that portion <br />of Highway #10. They indicated that the City officials should try to put <br />pressure on the Highway Department or the Metro Council to at least get some <br />consideration to get part of this in the construction schedule. Engineer <br />Bearden indicated that the traffic lights that are to be installed an Highway <br />#10 will make the traffic cutting through Mounds View worse. <br />Barba ='_,.'i ,:; felt that as a Council if a motion was made to write to the <br />Highway Department to put that one stretch at the top of their priority list <br />a lot of traffic would be eliminated. Mayor Neisen stated that this had <br />already been done some time ago and that we have letters back stating it would <br />not be completed until 1979. The Mayor said that we could continue to send <br />letters which might help. <br />
