Mounds View City Council April 9, 1990 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Nine <br /> Wuori questioned whether the funds that <br /> 411Councilmember <br /> would be set aside would be adequate for the cost at <br /> the time of construction. <br /> Mr. Benson replied they would, and it would be <br /> entered into the agreement that the maintenance <br /> force could build the road, rather than a private <br /> contractor. He added this is a minimal amount of <br /> money compared to what is going to be spent on new <br /> Highway 10 altogether. <br /> Jerry Linke, 2319 Knoll Drive, reviewed the history <br /> of this project. He stated the reason for the <br /> separation in County Road J is the City of Mounds <br /> View did not want a connection to the airport, and <br /> he would recommend against an airport road extension. <br /> Mr. Martindale questioned how much authority the City <br /> would have to block the road in the future, if Blaine <br /> gives Mounds View the property for the road. <br /> Attorney Karney advised he would have to know what <br /> type of road it would be. If it was a city road <br /> they would be okay, but it 's doubtful if it was a <br /> county or state road. <br /> • <br /> Mr. Minetor explained it would be a local street, <br /> but it is a question of annexation. However, condi- <br /> tions could be written into the contract. <br /> Mr. Martindale suggested they may need to pursue a <br /> legal annexation process. <br /> Clerk/Administrator Pauley reviewed the process <br /> that would have to be followed. At this point <br /> Blaine is unwilling to consider doing so. <br /> Jim Kavanaugh, of Red Oak Drive stated he has seen a dramatic <br /> reversal in the process . People have said for 22 years <br /> that they do not want a connection, and he reminded the <br /> Council the Comp Plan says there should be no connection <br /> at Red Oak Drive. He understands this would be 100 ' <br /> to the west, but the spirit of the Comp Plan should be <br /> remembered, and it would set a dangerous precedent to <br /> not do so. He would recommend a traffic study be done <br /> and the connection left out until the information is <br /> received. <br /> Councilmember Quick pointed out the Comp Plan also <br /> shows Red Oak Drive as a collector street. <br /> Mayor Hankner reviewed the PLanning Commission recuinmendations <br /> to the Council . She noted there are conflicting statements about <br /> Hiaghway 10 and Red Oak Drive. <br />
