CSAH 136 (Silver Lake Road) Joint Task Force Meeting #4 Minutes 1. INTRODUCTIONS The meeting began informally as Task Force members reviewed two Alternative roadway layout plans, copies of which were placed on tables for easy viewing. At approximately 7:15 p.m., introductions began with Task Force members introducing themselves, including Council member Dick Horst. Hennepin County staff engineers present included Craig Twinem and Pete Lemke. Mr. Twinem introduced Hennepin County Commissioner Mark Stenglein. City staff included Jay Hartman and Todd Hubmer. Bolton & Menk engineers Dan Faulkner and Ron Roetzel were also in attendance. Commissioner Stenglein commented that he was able to get this roadway improvement project advanced and is anxious to see it get under way. Mr. Twinem indicated the consultants would explain the two Alternative layouts at the two stations set up for viewing the layout plans. The Task Force members then continued to review the plans and ask questions of the consultants and City and County staff. Each Task Force member had previously been emailed a copy of Alternatives 1 and 2, each of which included 5 sheets, along with a sheet of typical cross sections. Hard .copies of all of this material were also handed out to the Task Force members at the meeting. In addition to the continuous layout sheets of Alternatives 1 and- 2, the consultants had cross sections at the following six addresses as representative samples surveyed along the roadway corridor: 3609, 3507, 3424, 3017 and 2840 Silver Lake Road 3000 33rd Avenue These cross sections were overlayed with the Alternatives 1 and 2 to show the potential impacts to these properties at the cross section location. The impacts are slightly greater with Alternative 2 at 3609, 3507, 3017 and 2840 Silver Lake Road, due to the additional width needed for the boulevard area and the center turn lane. 2.
