CONCEPT AND LAYOUT PLAN APPROVAL
CSAH 62
CSAH 4 TO T.H. 101
WHEREAS, on June 16, 1987, the City of Eden Prairie adopted
Resolution 87-156, which provided concept approval and layout plan
approval for Townline Road (CSAH 62 between CSAH 4 and T.H. 101)
and designated layout number 6 for project number 7419;
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie entered into a cooperative
agreement with the City of Minnetonka and Hennepin County on April
17, 1990 for the specific purpose of hiring a consultant to provide
a third party opinion of traffic analysis and potential project
enhancements for the above named projects;
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the findings of said
consultant and has provided an opportunity for residents of the
area to express their opinions and concerns about the improvement
of the roadway;
• WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the improvement to this
roadway would be beneficial to the health, safety and welfare of
the City of Eden Prairie by providing a much needed transportation
corridor through the community; and
WHEREAS, the upgrading of the roadway is consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Guide Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Eden Prairie that the approval granted by Resolution 87-156 is
hereby reaffirmed, and the conceptual enhancement package as
prepared by the consulting firm Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc. is
approved with the following comments and conditions:
A. The City of Eden Prairie agrees that the safest design would
be a divided four lane facility for the entire length of the
project. However, to best facilitate the project, Eden
Prairie approves the deletion of the median west of Duck Lake
Road similar to the City of Minnetonka approval.
B. The trail system should be continuous on the Eden Prairie side
for the entire length of the project. Utilizing segments of
the frontage road in lieu of a trail is not acceptable.
C. To serve traffic demand in the area, a full access and median
iscut at the intersection of North Eden Drive is necessary.
• D. The City reserves the right to review the final construction
documents prior to final approval of the design.
E. There will be utility construction and reconstruction
necessary in conjunction with the roadway improvements. The
City will request that the contract documents include those
aspects at City expense as appropriate.
F. The County is requested to proceed with the project with all
convenient speed.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie this 13th
day of November, 1990.
