Tral1e and Holmgren (6: 43) Members Absent: Councilmember Dobel Staff Present: Pat Klaers; City Administrator. Steve Rohlf; Building and Zoning Administrator; Terry Maurer; City Engineer 1. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Gunkel at 6:37 p.m. 2. Discussion was held on a temporary access into the Deerfield 3rd Addition for emergency vehicles. The City Council has required that a second access into this plat be passable for emergency vehicles prior to any additional building permits being issued. The original plan called for the future permanent access from 169 that will be across from Jackson Street (Highway 201) to be opened up on a temporary basis for emergency vehicles. Problems have surfaced regarding this access being opened up on a temporary basis because prior to a MnDOT agreement being signed which would allow temporary emergency use of this access. existing rights of property owners to Highway 169 must be released. These documents have not been obtained. e An alternative proposal for emergency access into the Deerfield 3rd Addition has been proposed by Developer. Jerry Smith. This alternative calls for emergency vehicles to access into the Deerfield Addition from the Specht driveway which is north of the proposed permanent access onto Highway 169. This proposal was discussed at the April 6 Council Meeting and the City Engineer was instructed to contact MnDOT with this proposal. The City Engineer did contact MnDOT and they were receptive to this proposal. A letter from the City Engineer to Gary Neimi at the Brainerd MnDOT Office was presented to the Council for their review. This letter is dated April 8. 1987 and discusses the conditions on which this Specht driveway emergency access would be open. The City Council reached a consensus that the Specht/Jerry Smith Agreement needed to be in the City file to ensure that the City has rights to use this road for emergency vehicles. The Council also reached a consensus that prior to this Specht access being used and available for use for City emergency vehicles. that the road be approved by the City Engineer.
