Cvy of Ells River/Sherbume Coiurty Transportation Meevng Duty 26, zoos Page 2 Bill asked about the installation of an underpass at the intersection of CSAH 33 and the Great Nor-dmem Trail. Rhonda stated that to meet standards, the underpass had to be 12 feet by 14 feet. She estimated the cost at $810 per lineal foot and $17,000 for each of the end sections. Bill said that he understood these costs and that the City was willing to pay this amount. Rhonda then went onto explain to Bill that Tiller Corporation was planning to install a box culvert 8 feet by 6 feet for their gravel mining operation near the new intersection of CSAH 33 and County Road 77. She asked whether the City and the Parks Department would be willing to pay for the upsizing of that culvert to 12 feet by 14 feet, so that it could be used for a pedestrian underpass in the future. She had a letter from C.S. McCrossan Construction, Inc. to Barton Sand and Gravel, which she provided to Bill which indicated the difference in cost would be approximately $80,000 - $90,000 to the City. Bill said that he thought the City would be interested in doing that and he would discuss it with the Parks & Recreation Commission at their next meeting. 3. Proctor Avenue (County Road 33) No Parking Issue Dick Corbin presented a map of Procor Avenue just north of CSAH 1. He indicated that he has received complaints from the townhomes in the area that when events are held on the school fields, parking along the roadway is causing traffic problems. He indicated there aze "no parking" signs along the east side of the road and the County is interested in putting "no parking" along the west side of the road. The issue is what is the correct process for doing so. After discussion, it was determined that Rhonda would write Terry a letter indicating the County's desire to post a portion of Proctor Avenue "no parking". Terry would then forward it on to the City Council and ask them to adopt a resolution limiting parking along this pomon of the roadway. Once that is passed, the County will sign that portion of Proctor Avenue appropriately. 4. Twin Lakes Road/Tyler Street Dick indicated to Terry that there has been a problem with the development of Twin Lakes Estates and the realignment of Tyler Street. There previously was a bypass lane for northeast- headedtraffic on CSAH 13 near the Christian Academy. When Twin Lakes Estates was constructed, they were required to build a right turn lane off of northeast-bound CSAH 13 into their development. The previously mentioned bypass lane and right turn lane essentially meet up with each other, causing difficulty in the motoring public's understanding of the lane striping. The County is proposing to eliminate the bypass lane by the Christian Academy by restriping just a shoulder line. This will more clearly identify the right turn lane into Twin Lakes Estates. Terry concurred with the County's plan of action. 5. VanDenBerg Driveway on CSAH 12 Dick presented Terry a copy of a letter written by Terry back on November 30, 2004 in response to a Dick Corbin letter dated October 29, 2004. Terry's letter was addressed to Mr. VanDenBerg indicating that the County wanted his old driveway eliminated from CSAH 12. The driveway is no longer in use and is causing erosion problems out onto the County road. Dick indicated that nothing has been done since the date of this letter. Terry indicated that he would contact Mr. VanDenBerg directly and remind him of the need to address this issue. 6. Kingdom Estates Second Addition Terry indicated to Rhonda and Dick that there is some concern regarding the Count}~s letter and requirements for right turn lane and bypass lane, along with land acquisition to construct these facilities for Kingdom Estates Second Addition. Terry provided Rhonda and Dick a copy of an
