Item No. 8I Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Manufactured Home Park Second Access Study Resolution No. 6119 Approving the Preliminary Feasibility Reports for the Manufactured Home Park Second Access Study – Mounds View Manufactured Home Community and Towns Edge Terrace Meeting Date: October 13, 2003 Background: At the November 4, 2002 Work Session, Staff presented the issue of creating a second access to two of the three manufactured home sites in Mounds View, Mounds View Mobile Home Park and Towns Edge Terrace. Neither site currently complies with the City Ordinance 1110.05 subdivision 2a, “Park Site shall have at least two (2) points of ingress and egress for vehicles.” On January 13, 2003, the City Council approved Resolution No. 5931 authorizing the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates (BRAA) to provide engineering services, including municipal and traffic engineering, at these two manufactured home parks. Discussion: A draft of the feasibility report for the Mounds View Manufactured Home Community was completed and presented to the City Council for their review and comment at the June 2, 2003 Work Session. The report for Towns Edge Terrace Manufactured Home Community was presented to the City Council on July 7, 2003. Final version of these reports were distributed to the City Council as part of the October 6, 2003 Council Work Session packet. The conclusions of the reports found the second street accesses to be physically feasible. The necessary improvements are reasonable, with typical costs anticipated for improvements of this kind. The reports state that the second accesses are desirable from the standpoint or traffic volumes, traffic circulation, traffic planning, and resident convenience.
