City Council meeting of May 19, 1997 Page 4 Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to reissue the Special Use Permit to John E. Olsen, 14728 Irish Avenue, for a two-year period, with no changes to the Permit. All aye. Motion Carried. MNDOT REPORT (INTERSECTION OF 8A AND 61) At the City Council's request, MNDOT conducted a study of the above -referenced intersection to determine the need for signals, as well as the potential for a crosswalk across T.H. 61 at 140th Street and 146th Street. MNDOT's report stated that there is not currently a need for a signal at 8A and 61, and they cannot estimate when such a signal will be required as it is dependent upon development in the adjacent area. MNDOT recommended not painting crosswalks at 140th Street and 146th Street as it may give pedestrians a false sense of safety when attempting to cross the road at these locations. MNDOT stated that they will review the pedestrian activity at 146th Street after school is out this summer and reconsider their position on the paving of a crosswalk at this location. No action was required regarding this matter. C.R. 8A ASSESSMENT ROLL The Council reviewed a resolution establishing a notice of hearing for 7:05PK June 16, 1997, to consider a proposed assessment roll for public improvements constructed as part of the C.R. 8A improvement project, between Goodview Avenue and T.H. 61. The reason for delay in preparing the assessment roll was the time required for the County to finalize project costs with the contractor. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1997-10, A RESOLUTION FOR A HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS FOR THE C.R. 8A PROJECT. VOTING AYE: Barnes, Goiffon, Johnson, Leroux, Miron Motion Carried.

Barnes made motion, Johnson seconded, that the Council consider this request at the 1998 budget time. All aye. Motion Carried.
