^OUNcii <br />APR <br />i 1997REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION . ^ <br />DATE: March 27.1997 <br />ITEM NO: <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Ron Moorse <br />Title City Administrator <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />City Administrator's <br />Report <br />Item Description: <br />County Road 6 Reconstruction Project Layout <br />The Council previously received a copy of a letter from the Hannings who live at 4220 County Road <br />6 expressing concern regarding the proposed alignment of a reconstructed County Road 6. As <br />indicated in the Hanning's letter, the roadway alignment was shifted to the north after the city's <br />review of the initial layout. In order to reduce the very substantial impacts to existing trees on <br />properties on the south side of the roadway, particularly 4285 County Road 6, the city directed <br />County staff to determine if the roadway could be realigned to reduce overall impacts. <br />The County responded by realigning the roadway to the north which caused it to encroach on the <br />properties to the north. The Council approved the revised alignment because the additional impacts <br />on the north side were substantially less than the initial impacts on the south side. There are several <br />reasons for this lesser impact. The first is that one of the properties to the north is an outlot. <br />Secondly, there are much fewer existing trees on the north side. Thirdly, the Hanning property has <br />a substantial berm in place which will continue to screen the roadway from the home. <br />Steve Thies of Hennepin County will attend the April 1 meeting to provide information regarding <br />the initial layout and the approved revised layout. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />No action required.
