<br />Council Minutes <br />March 12, 1985 <br /> <br />Page Three <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Benke asked staff to look at the option of installing the <br />sidewalks in a serpentine fashion within the right-of-way <br />to circumvent the existing trees, and to have the county <br />review the location of the roadway within the right-of-way <br />to save trees and to minimize the impact on houses by off- <br />setting more than a few feet off the center of the roadway. <br />Benke stated he was still not convinced that four lanes of <br />traffic south of 14th Street are needed; if fifty feet of <br />development are required there, he felt striping it for <br />three lanes would be adequate; asked that traffic numbers <br />be reviewed. Benke stated he knew the Metropolitan Council <br />had updated their system-wide projections and wondered if <br />their figures might have some influence. <br /> <br />Schmidt felt four lanes in that area are not justified; <br />agreed that three-lane striping is warranted; asked what <br />controls the city has over the striping. <br /> <br />Benke expressed concern as to whether or not the county <br />would come to the city for concurrence, if there was a <br />stripino-oriented problem; felt there should be something <br />in the approval process limiting it to three lanes. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Winkels had nothing to add to the staff report which was <br />a continuation of the public hearing of February 26, 1985. <br /> <br />As there was no one to speak to the issue. Harcus moved, <br />seconded by Benke, to CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. <br /> <br />Street Vacation - <br />Emerald Drive <br />Report 85-62 <br />Resolution 85-25 <br />7:47pm-7:48pm <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes.
