The feasibility study was discussed. The Engineer reviewed the project to determine if it is technically feasible. This is on 88th Street in Otsego, an MSA road. It will be constructed to MN State standards. It will be 350 ft. of road approximately, being constructed. (See sign up sheet of this meeting to see who attended the meeting.) Alignment was shown. It is a portion of the MRD Commercial Plat. The right of way extends to the end of the Christ Lutheran Church property. We are looking at running the road to the end of the Bank of Elk River property and temporarilly cul-du- sacing the street. Kevin showed a typical street section. A Right turn lane for access to CASH 42 was looked at. A 25' roadway, plus 2' for curb and gutter. A cost estimate was projected. 6" beneath the roadway of Class 5. The estimated construction cost is $31,470.00. Contingencies, Engineering, Legal and Administrative costs at 30% or $9,500.00. Total Estimated alternative $40,970.00. The Recommendation to the Council is that it is technically feasible and the soils of the site will support a project of this nature. Larry Koshak explained the assessment policy the Council has adopted for street construciton. It states that on Commercial the property abutting will pay the price of a 9 ton standard street section. The remaining portion to be constructed to MSA standards. This will be paid for by MSA Funds. CITY OF OTSEGO SPECIAL COUNCIL MINUTES OF AUGUST 8, 1994 PAGE - 2 - 7:00 PM 88th Street Hearing (MSA RD) There are three property owners abutting 88th Street. One is the Bank of Elk River who has purchased the parcel to the North. MRD Comm. Park property has the portion to the South, Christ Lutheran Church is being provided access to 88th Street. To the North, West to East 304' the Bank of Elk River will pay and MRD Commercial Park will pay for similar costs to the South. Christ Lutheran Church will pay for 60' for access to the property. It is estimated that the city street would cost approximately $33,760.00. With their portion of Contengencies, Engeering and Administrative expenses of 33,760.00 divided by 660' = $51.14 per front foot. Elk River Bank $15,345.00 MRD Comm $15,345.00 Church $ 3,070.00. TOTAL $33,760.00 Doug Lindenfelser questioned the Right turn lane going out on 88th Street Kevin said it would be considered once the road expanded. When more traffic is there it would warrant it. Wright Co. is looking at it. Larry Koshak said we can install it at this time under the MSA Fund with the cost to the City. Doug Lindenfelser asked if while we are in construction, would the Co. kick in for it now? Larry Koshak said they could go back to them and check. Larry Koshak didn't feel it was an issue at this time. Sidewalks is the other issue that is not presented at this time, but can be done when the other section is built. Gene Kreuser asked about aprons for the driveways. Does the South property have two aprons so we can come in and out? Larry Koshak said on 88th Street we will require the first entrance be back 220' back from Parrish Avenue(Co.42). Kevin Kielb explained the distance required for the right turn lane is for stacking. Gene Kreuser asked about entering onto Parrish. Larry Koshak said there's no way to enter onto Parrish. CITY OF OTSEGO SPECIAL COUNCIL MINUTES OF AUGUST 8, 1994 PAGE - 3 - 7:00 PM 88th Street Hearing (MSA RD) Gene Kreuser is building the Bank of Elk River. He talked about 866' for the elevation and he asked if it would change. The engineers said no it would not. Larry Koshak explained further. Larry Fournier asked Kevin the distance of Parrish Ave. to the driveway on the North or South side, and where the stop sign is placed in relation to Parrish Ave (Co.42) and back. Kevin said the stop sign has to be placed back a certain distance. It is not directly related to property lines. Placement is called for in Mn/Dot standards, 220' back on both lots. Kevin explained futher. Larry Koshak commented that we do not have a proposal yet. We hope the access will be determined before the curb is built. Creteria may be considered differently for that particular lane. We could put no parking for a certain distance back.The two access question would have to be reviewed. More discussion on the issue. The North side is a key location but we need the stacking distance. Mayor Norman F Freske asked if there were any other questions. There were none. LARRY FOURNIER MOTIONED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. DOUG LINDENFELSER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOULSY. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:25PM.
