MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 9, 1996 ( #3 - County Road 6 Roadway Improvement Project - Continued) McFarlane inquired about the "jog" on CoRd 6 to the Hwy 12 intersection. He was informed that this stop and jog would remain until it is coordinated with the Mn/DOT project on Hwy 12 and CoRd 6. McFarlane asked when this improvement will be made. Callahan said the timing was hard to ascertain as the Hwy 12 Corridor improvement is slated to begin in 2001, and he did not know the location where the work would begin. Callahan said Mn/DOT was not willing to reconstruct the intersection until the main reconstruction began. Polaczyk indicated he was informed that the funding for the Hwy 12 project enabled it to begin in 2000 or 2001 for the interchange. Polaczyk said the CoRd 6 project is set back far enough to tie into it without any disruption. Callahan told McFarlane that according to what Polaczyk indicated, the reconstruction of Hwy 12 would begin with that intersection. Callahan said it was his opinion that the preliminary layout should be approved. He does feel the staking should take place at least for these two particular property owners, which will enable the other residents of the subdivision to see where the road will travel. Polaczyk promised the staking to be completed this week. Callahan noted that the City and County have worked cooperatively together in the past. • Sandy Larson said she has come to terms with the road improvement happening but would like to see it visually. She noted she will be losing all of her privacy. Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3816 to approve the final plans • for the County Road 6 roadway project #9444, and to approve the construction cooperative agreement between Hennepin County and the City of Orono for County State Aid Highway No. 6 Project #9444, based on the current estimate of cost to the City of Orono of $514,000. Jabbour asked if the County would be mitigating some of the trees lost on Larson's property by replacement. Theis said the trees would either be mitigated or compensated as a part of the right -of -way costs. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Callahan asked Staff to ensure the staking has been completed prior to turning the signed contract over to the County. Jabbour asked Larson and McFarlane to report the staking to the City. 1 J
