Resolution 9920, Request a variance for the Street Design Standard for State Aid Road Operation for Project No. S.A.P. 146-242-002. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve a variance for street design standards for State Aid Road operation for Project No. S.A.P. 146-242-002. He stated in 2023 the street improvement project included Pleasant View Drive from County Road H2 to County Road I. He explained Mounds View has a JPA in place with the City of Fridley for Pleasant View Drive. Through this process a trail was to be installed on the east side of the road with the mailboxes on the west side. He reported during final construction, the US Postal Service recommended the mail boxes be installed on both on the west side because there were two different postal services serving the residents living along this roadway. Staff feels confident a variance would be received for the trail in order to accommodate the mailboxes. Mayor Lindstrom questioned if the variance were not approved, would the trail be pushed further into the right of way. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson commented the trail could be moved further east or State Aid would not be used to pay for the trail. Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked when this matter came about. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated last fall State Aid looked at the project and staff understood a variance would be required for the mailboxes. He indicated the variance committee only meets twice a year. He commented it was not uncommon for MSA projects to request a variance. MOTION/SECOND: Clark/Cermak.
