• Mounds View Planning Commission April 1, 1998 Regular Meeting Page 13 The floor was returned to the Commission for questions and comments. Commissioner Johnston asked staff if the MnDOT approval of the associated traffic signal depends on the realignment of Edgewood Road and if so how close would the realignment come to City Hall. Director Jopke told the Commission the realignment of Edgewood Road is part of the project at this point in time. He gave no specific plan dimensions. The floor was turned over to the applicant for his presentation. Wendell Smith showed the Commission an updated artistic rendering of the proposed facilities. He told the Commission that the contractor for the project has been selected. The changes that have been made from the original site, and as presented by Director Jopke, were reviewed. No access on to County Road H2 or Long Lake Road has been designed into the project. This design element was a direct result of working with the neighborhood that had made it known from early on in the project that they did not want the theater to impact the traffic going through their neighborhood. • The Fire Marshal's request to widen the facility entries will be accommodated. These plan changes will be made available at the next Planning Commission meeting. Several of the Commissioners expressed their concern that the City has not been given formal notice from MnDOT that the traffic intersections involved with the project have been approved for construction. They requested that the applicant furnish an official notification from MnDOT at the April 15, 1998 Planning Commission meeting.
