V. 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 .
