. . . City Council Minutes June 20, 2005 Page 4 Mr. Maurer stated that the residents should expect to receive their first notification for the informational meeting in the fall. Mr. Maurer also stated that property owners are welcome to call him if they would like to meet staff on their property or if they would like to check the status of the study. Mr. Maurer noted that staff will report back to the Council on the study sometime in the fall. Dave Burandt, 19118 Tyler Street - questioned how many letters were sent out notifying property owners that the Council would be discussing this item tonight. Mr. Burandt stated that he believes all property owners in the area should have been notified. Mr. Maurer indicated that staff was directed to send letters to the property owners east of Hillside. He also indicated that once the study is complete, additional property owners would be notified. Matthew Christiaansen, 19407 Auburn Street - questioned if the corridor would connect to CSAH 13 right away or if it would stop at Tyler Street and be phased in. Mr. Maurer indicated that the study will look at all options and it would be the Council's decision on whether or not to do the entire corridor at once or to map it out in phases. City Administrator Pat Klaets questioned if staff would need to go on private property while conducting evaluations for the study. Mr. Maurer indicated that there would be cases that they would but that property owners will be contacted prior to staff entering their property. Dave Crocker, 19422 Auburn Street - questioned if there are any east/west corridors planned other than 193rd Avenue and if so, what their timeframes are. Mr. Maurer indicated that three potential east/west corridors (193rd Avenue, Elk Hills Drive/School Street, and 197th Avenue) have been identified that will line up with MnDOTs future plans for overpasses on TH169, but no timelines have been identified for them. Barb Burandt, 19118 Tyler Street - stated that many residents of 193rd Avenue were unaware of the future plans for that road and that residents should be advised to seek information regarding future plans for the area near their properties. Ms. Burandt also asked the Council to look at alternatives to the 193rd corridor as the road would go through what they believe to be the most precious portion of their property. Laurie Forse, 19401 Ulysses - indicated that by extending 193rd Avenue, the city will be disrupting nature and wildlife and she believes the city should try to preserve this area. Mike Brown, 11360 193rd Avenue - stated that he has two small children and that he is concerned about the increased traffic on 193rd once the road is extended. He also indicated that he believes that making 193rd Avenue an east/west corridor will create more of a traffic problem at the 193rd and Evans Avenue intersection. 6.1.
