LONG LAKE CONDITIONS <br />October 3,1996 <br />The City of Long Lake has stated that its support of the Mn/DOT proposal will be <br />subject to a number of conditions. These are as follows: <br />A. Mn/DOT to relocate those persons whose homes are lost to the project <br />right-of-way and to accommodate those who wish to relocate within or <br />adjacent to Long Lake, including moving existing homes to new locations. <br />B. Mn/DOT to provide relocation assistance to all renters affected by this <br />project. <br />C. MnDOT, as part of their R-O-W acquisition for the connection of Brown <br />Road from South of Railroad to North of Highway 12 to take all properties <br />abutting Virginia Avenue. <br />D. Mn/DOT to address concerns of property owners whose properties are not <br />taken for roadway right-of-way but are near the new roadway. The <br />solution suggested by Long Lake was to define a corridor of <br />approximately 400 feet on each side of the new roadway. If property <br />owners in this corridor felt the roadway had reduced the value of their <br />properties. MnDOT would purchase the properties and would absorb any <br />loss in property value. It was further suggested that property owners be <br />permitted to do this from the time of design approval until one (1) year <br />after project completion. <br />E. MnDOT to construct sound barriers and visual barriers such that noise <br />levels as measured in the City cf Long Lake sound level study (1995) and <br />current levels on the North side of Long Lake (in Orono) are not increased <br />by the presence of the new road. <br />F. MnDOT to mitigate the loss of any park land including relocation and <br />replacement of current Holbrook Park facilities. <br />G. MnDOT to create pedestrian walkways over the railroad tracks and road <br />at the Willow Drive and Brown Road Bridges and new pedestrian bridges <br />over the tracks and roadbed at Holbrook Park and at the old sewer pond. <br />H. Mn/DOT to replace any trails lost to the project right-of-way and construct <br />sidewalks and trails along the new corridor. <br />Highway 12 <br />Ntw Alternatives <br />10/03/9612 37 PM
