She stated Anoka County has prepared a JPA based on their cost participation policy and the City is asked to pay a portion of construction cost and 8% construction engineering expenses. She noted the JPA also spells out the City’s future maintenance obligations including storm sewer and detention basins; bituminous walks, street lights, and ongoing electrical costs for street lights. She also noted the City will pay for the initial electrical installation for street lights and the ongoing electrical cost. She stated an agreement with Lino Lakes will be brought to both City Councils for approval that will have Lino Lakes reimburse Blaine for half of the initial cost and annual electrical cost for the street lights. Doug Fischer, Anoka County Engineer, stated the intersection has been a problem for a long time. He stated the County has worked on several intersection variations with minimal environmental impacts. He stated the design has been modified slightly to shorten the trail before the resident’s driveway to the north. He stated the County road system is designed to move traffic including tractor trailers and roundabouts minimize the right-of-way impacts for intersections. He stated right-of-way acquisitions will be done upon Council approval of the project. He noted appraisals have been completed with the affected property owners. He stated construction would be planned for late summer 2016. He stated an overlay project on Sunset Avenue to North Road will be added to the project. He noted that the County will need to purchase property for the project and the County will reimburse the affected property owners if they want to get their own property appraised. He noted the Magellan pipeline runs underneath the land. Tony Capra, 10991 Edison Street, stated he has worked with Mr. Fischer on the project for over eight years. He stated he is one of several of the property owners that have been waiting for this project. He noted the County has worked with the property owners to minimize the property impact. He stated on the southwest leg where the median is he would like full turn access and another full turn access further south for his property. He stated the property owners would like to see the project approved. City of Blaine Page 4 City Council Minutes - Final February 4, 2016 Mr. Fischer stated the access request is not part of the JPA. He stated the City’s planning and zoning will have to agree to include two full accesses and designed into the project.

Mayor Ryan commented 109th Avenue will be widened in the future to accommodate traffic.

He stated he has contacted the County several times with no response. He stated he is not in agreement with the current design and asked the Council to vote against the project. Mr. Fischer stated the County is trying to minimize the impact to the Letendre’s property and have cut back the trail from their driveway. He stated they have a large parcel and the County would need to acquire half of one acre of their 22 acre property. He stated the County will not make financial offers until both Cities are on board. He noted the roads are County roads that have to be designed with State Aid Standards that includes the Regional Trail Plan. Joan and Dave Yantos, 7262 Sunset Road, stated her property is located in Lino Lakes and she is the third owner of the property and have lived there for over 21 years. She stated her bedroom windows will face the roundabout. She noted she was not notified of the project; but the Lino Lakes Council voted in favor of the project on December 14, 2015. She stated her front yard will be cut in half and a drainage ditch will cut through her property. She stated this project is not the best solution for the road. She stated Anoka County will not purchase her property. She noted one concession is a break in the median for her to make a left turn out of her driveway but there will be no access to her driveway from the north. Mr. Fischer stated the roundabout was moved away from the Yantos’ driveway. He stated Anoka County is not currently purchasing property from the Yantos parcel. He stated the County will use right-of-way for drainage and is willing to purchase a drainage easement. He noted the County would be willing to build a turnaround in the Yantos’ driveway. Councilmember Clark asked if the vote could be postponed in order for the residents to meet with Anoka County. Mr. Fischer replied they have met with the property owners and that the County needs to move forward with the project. He stated the project layout will not changing and asked the Council to approve it but said individual property owner issues will be addressed.

Mayor Ryan commented the County does not take residents land without negotiations. Mr. Fischer commented the County has appraisals ready for the property owners and upon JPA approval the appraisals will be presented to the property owners. Councilmember Hovland commented the roundabout does not mean an increase in traffic. He stated the roundabout will accommodate future traffic. He noted he is in favor of the project. He stated the project will impact the Yantos’ property the most and requested the County accommodate the Yantos as the property will be very difficult to sell in the future. Councilmember King commented if the JPA is approved can the County move forward and asked if the County would use eminent domain action. Mr. Fischer stated the County can use eminent domain but will continue to negotiate with the property owners. He stated it is the County’s desire to settle with all property owners. Councilmember Swanson stated he supports the project as he drives through the area a lot and sees the need. Councilmember Clark stated he is in favor of the project. He stated he agrees the intersection needs to be fixed. He stated he would like a two-week pause for the County to work with the property owners. Councilmember King commented there has not been good communication to the residents in the area. He stated he would like to postpone the vote on the project for two weeks. City Attorney Sweeney commented the Council has five members in attendance and needs four members to vote in favor to approve the project. Mr. Letendre stated he does not trust the County to give them a driveway after everything is signed. Councilmember Clark asked if the County agreed to relocate Mr. Letendre’s southern driveway if that would be acceptable. Mr. Letendre replied he has met with the County and they do not confirm their plans. Councilmember Clark suggested holding a Special Meeting on February 11, 2016. Mr. Fischer stated the Council understands the need for the project and supports the project moving forward. He suggested the Council table the item until the February 11, 2016. He noted the project needs approval in order for City of Blaine Page 6 City Council Minutes - Final February 4, 2016 the County to address the property owner issues. Councilmember Hovland asked for the County to include maps that address the property owners’ concerns. Mr. Fischer stated the County has designed many similar projects and understands property issues that may need to be addressed. He noted the original design was going to dissect Capra’s property and the current plan minimizes the impact.
