Mounds View City Council August 23, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 9 1 2 MOTION/SECOND: Bergeron/Meehlhause. To Waive the First Reading and Introduce 3 Ordinance 980 Amending Title XI of the Mounds View City Code to Add a New Chapter 4 Regulating Mobile Food Vehicles and Vendors. 5 6 Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried. 7 8 G. Resolution 9462, Requesting a Variance from Street Design Standard for 9 State Aid Road. 10 1 1 Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council request a variance 12 from the street design standards for State Aid Road. He explained staff and consulting engineers 13 were working on the 2022-2023 Street Improvement Project. He stated at the April 12, 2021 14 Council Meeting, the Council authorized Stantec to complete preliminary designs and surveys of 15 the project area. Staff has since discovered an issue or challenge with Spring Lake Road around 16 the lake. He reviewed the plans with the Council, noting a portion of Spring Lake Road was on 17 private property. He reported Spring Lake Road was an MSA roadway and because of this, 18 certain standards have to be met, including moving the road out of private property. He 19 discussed how the roadway would be moved into public right-of-way in order to meet MSA 20 requirements. At this time, a variance has to be approved because the curve was sharp and 21 required 20 mile per hour signage. It was noted the City Attorney had reviewed the Resolution 22 and recommends approval. 23 24 Council Member Meehlhause clarified the Council was being asked to pass a Resolution 25 supporting staff going to the State to get approval for a variance because of the curve in the 26 roadway that requires a 20 mile per hour speed limit versus a 30 mile per hour speed limit. 27 Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported this was the case. 28 29 Council Member Bergeron questioned if the movement of the road would impact the trees along 30 the roadway. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained he would have to 31 look at the plans to see if any trees would be impacted. He did not believe any trees would be 32 impacted because the road would be centered. 33 34 Council Member Bergeron commented this work would correct a mistake that was made in the 35 past. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated this was the case. 36 37 Council Member Meehlhause indicated the one side of the street does not have any residents 38 because of the lake. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported this was true, 39 but noted the City still had to fit the road width design within the road right of way. He further 40 discussed the variance that was being requested for the sharp curve and how this went against 41 MSA design standards. 42 43 MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9462, 44 Requesting a Variance from Street Design Standard for State Aid Road. 45
