Mounds View City Council April 9, 1990 <br />Regular Meeting Page Six <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />• Mayor Hankner reported Staff had met with Blaine <br />staff to discuss the proposal. <br />Mr. Minetor discussed the concerns the City has for <br />authority over the road. If an intergovernmental <br />agreement is reached, Blaine wants a statement that <br />Mounds View does not oppose the proposed redesign <br />of the airport road out of the Blaine industrial <br />park. <br />Mr. Benson clarified that funds can be set aside <br />for a few years beyond 1992 for the airport road. <br />Mayor Hankner stated she feels a traffic study <br />should be done, no matter which alternate is <br />decided upon. <br />Councilmember Paone stated he would support the <br />3/6 modified without the airport extension until <br />an adequate traffic study is done. <br />Councilmember Blanchard stated she agreed, with an <br />access road not going in until it is proven to be <br />necessary. <br />Councilmember Quick stated he feels it is critical <br />• to have an opening between Fairchild and Red Oak, <br />as response time is very important for emergency <br />vehicles. If it is determined in the future that <br />traffic on Red Oak Drive is a problem, funding would <br />be set aside to deal with that. He added he feels <br />this best meets the criteria for land use in Resolu- <br />tion No. .838. <br />Councilmember Blanchard reminded people the airport <br />road section is 100' and it would not be that expen- <br />sive in the future. <br />Councilmember Quick stated he feels the road would <br />be much more expensive than a traffic study. <br />Councilmember Wuori stated there are three other roads to the `east of <br />Red Oak that are never brought up that also need access to the north, <br />and by keeping the connection open at the airport road it will give <br />lihem access. She added she feels that makes more sense. <br />Mr. Hagen stated that as a member of the Groveland <br />Park Foundation, he worked hard to upgrade the park. <br />He stated he supports alternate 3/6 modified and <br />would rather deal with the problems if they happen. <br />Susan Fisher, 8360 Fairchild, stated she is a member <br />of the Groveland Park Association, and feels there <br />is more traffic on Red Oak Drive than in her area. <br />
