PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />As directed by the City Council, we have prepared final plans and specifications for the <br />improvements in the Hillside Crossing II development. These improvements include the <br />extension of Evans Avenue from north of the Sax Grocery Store to 197th, and the <br />improvement of 197th to TH 169. There will also be required a minimal amount of <br />improvements to 197th on the west side of TH 169 and widening of the median in order <br />to make the intersection's geometrics line up. Sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer <br />extensions are in accordance with the previously approved utility and grading plans. <br /> <br />The City Council will recall we were also given direction to work with the two single- <br />family residences on the north side of 197th Avenue to come up with a method to continue <br />left turn access into and out of these two properties. We have met with Mr. Plude and <br />Mr. Rau, and have come up with a solution. Essentially there will be one median opening <br />on 197th Avenue which will line up with their common lot line. This will require the <br />realignment of their driveways to this point. We have also discussed this concept with <br />Mr. Ken Dickie, who is the potential purchaser of the Rau property. <br /> <br />Attached is a draft resolution which approves the plans and specifications, and orders the <br />advertisement for bids. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this project, I will be in attendance at your special <br />meeting on Thursday, April 11, 1996. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />Terry g/Maurer, P.E. <br /> <br />TJM: tw <br />Attachment <br />297-0808.apr <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
