PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Reconvene Public Hearing for Technology Drive Improvements, I .C. 52-010 A & D Director of Public Works Dietz spoke to the questions which had been raised at the earlier hearing on this proposal and which were addressed in his memo of February 24, 1982. He called attention to the letters from affected property owners opposing the extension of Technology Drive. Dietz noted that just prior to tonight's meeting Don Goetzman of SGL had agreed to pay 100% of the cost for sanitary sewer and water mains. Dietz referred to a letter from BRW, engineering consultants for the City, in which the signalization of the Wallace Road/TH 5 intersection was addressed. The highlights of the letter are that the intersection ranks 45th on Mn/DOT' s priority list and that the cost approaches $400,000. Although signals are warranted at this time, it is unlikely that installation will occur in the near future. Regarding Segment D of the proposal , Dietz recommended this segment (between Mitchell Road and Schooner Boulevard) be designated a portion of our State Aid street system. This portion of the project will not be required for 18-24 months and, therefore, will not be ordered at this time. Penzel expressed concern about eliminating Segment A entirely. He suggested keeping the options open -- at some point single access to this area will prove to be less than desirable. Dick Kast, Metro Machine, 8001 Wallace Road, asked if Goetzman would be totally responsible for the cost of sanitary sewer and water mains to the SGL property. John Furney, Eaton Corporation, 15151 Highway 5, asked if this now meant that the proposal would be the same as originally discussed. Dietz said it would . be and Furney said that would be fine with his company. Penzel questioned the viability of the SGL proposal . Don Goetzman of SGL stated they will begin building once they have it 60% occupied. Chuck Kozar, J. A. Braas Co. , 7970 Wallace Road, stated he does not foresee any great expansion in the Wallace Road area which would necessitate the need for Segment A. Tangen said he has the same concerns as Penzel regarding Segment A and would like to see the City' s options kept open. Bentley concurred. Jullie explained that the sewer and water easements would then determine the location of the road. MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and to accept the recommendations included in Director of Public Works Dietz memo of February 24, 1982, and including the petition by Don Goetzman of SGL regarding the sanitary sewer and water main project to the SGL property. Motion carried unanimously . City Council Minutes -5- March 2, 1982 VI .
