Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330 RE: ELK HILLS DRIVE/DODGE AVENUE Dear Council Members: As you requested, we have completed the plans for Elk Hills Drive/Dodge Avenue intersection. The plans were designed in accordance with the Council's direction as a four way intersection. Three of the legs are proposed to be a stop condition with the fourth from 169 being free access. It will still be necessary to work with Gary Santwire on the two properties to the south which require easement acquisition. This can be done concurrently with the bidding process, so that both are ready to proceed immediately after Labor day. For the Council's consideration, I have attached a draft resolution which authorizes the advertisement for bids. If you have any questions regarding these plans and specifications, Iwill be in attendance at the Monday evening meeting. Sincerely, MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS ~~ ~ ~~~i,~a Terry J. Maurer, P.E.

'ty of ~~ MEMORANDUM lk • River TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Pat HIaers, City Administrator DATE: July 12,1995 SUBJECT: Elk Hills Drive Stop Sign The design for the reconstructed Elk Hills Drive and Dodge Avenue/Street intersection calls for a stop sign to be installed on Elk Hills Drive. Currently Elk Hills Drive does not have a stop sign at this location. In a recent conversation with Gary Santwire regarding this intersection, Gary questioned whether or not the City would consider installing this Elk Hills Drive stop sign at this time, before the reconstruction is started. If this sign was installed now, residents would become familiar with the stop requirement and, according to Gary, this stop sign would also make the intersection safer until the reconstruction project takes place after Labor Day. I indicated to Gary that we have no plans for installing the stop sign at this time, but I would ask the City Council what their desires are on this issue. The City Engineer may be able to offer the City Council some comments on the need or desirability of this stop sign before the intersection is reconstructed. s:\council\stop.doc • 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.

Limited of I;lk River, with respect to the Elk Hills Drive/Dodge Avenue intersection. Mr. Santwire made three paints in his letter. I will try to respond as best I can to all three of these paints: 1. The design is proceeding with the four legged intersection. In fact, the plans are ~'`"` ENGINEi:R~Nrs complete and will be presented to the Council Monday evening far consideration 'R°Nr~`N?Ai of authorization to bid the project. At the same time, we have mailed a 'NK~PAL questionnaire t0 the residents of Elk Hills Addition to see if there is any interest in °~'"~'~"~ the cul-de-lacing of EIk Hi11s Drive. At this point, twenty-one of thirty residents so~a~wAsse have responded. Seventeen of those responded negatively to the cui-de-lacing of 5FRUC1URAl Elk Hills Drive. SURJEYiN6 seA~F~ 2. The plans that: we have prepared have been based on the option which shows Dodge TRANSPCIR]RTIdN Avenue in the middle alignment.

Pcv~Ee aisre~sus~oN This is a Council decision; however, you and I have discussEd that in SCACA exchange for cooperation on acquiring the easements no assessments would srssert ca~savis be levied. b.

At this point, we have not contacted Mr. Santwire to have him personally intervene on the City's behalf, because the plans have not been authorized to proceed to bidding. Once they proceed to bidding, we will contact Mr. Santwire and ask him to begin negotiations an the City's behalf. ,JUL- 1 3-95 THU 1 E3 4 1 MSA ST PAUL Mr. Pat Klaers July 12, 1995 Page Two P 03 This is a brief summary of the status of these three points.
