Pequot Lakes -Hwy 371 North <br /> October 7, 2005 <br /> Page 7 of 15 <br /> development would drive such a project at some future time. <br /> 29. There is a City watermain in a casing pipe under TH 371 on the south side of Pillsbury <br /> Street (installed in 1999), and the casing pipe will need to be extended at the City's cost as <br /> part of this project. <br /> This watermain (uncased)then turns north and parallels about 15 feet within the easterly <br /> TH 371 R/W for about 260 feet north before turning east along the south R/W of <br /> Morehouse Drive. <br /> The line is in MnDOT's R/W by permit and if the highway construction impacts the <br /> watermain in some way, the City will have to either encase it or relocate it at their expense. <br /> We are awaiting feedback from MnDOT on what they will require from the City on a <br /> watermain such as this. <br /> 30. At the full access Morehouse Drive intersection,MnDOT has projected traffic volumes and <br /> the results do not come close to warranting a traffic signal at this intersection. <br /> Morehouse Drive - West Lake Street {0.3 miles} <br /> 31. On the west side,the property is zoned Industrial. MnDOT will review possible larger radii <br /> at intersections along the service road in this area during final design. <br /> 32. On the west side, the service road `meanders' slightly to the east to abut the back lot line of <br /> the properties adjacent to the present TH 371. <br /> MnDOT has had discussions with and concurrence from the property owner, Mr. Babinski, <br /> on this alignment. <br /> MnDOT is aware that the City has a 30-foot wide watermain easement from Mr. Babinski <br /> under the proposed service road and MnDOT is going to have to account for this during <br /> R/W acquisition discussions. <br /> 33. On the west side through the Gloria Dei Church property,both backage road and frontage <br /> road alignments were reviewed. <br /> After weighing the plusses and minuses for both, the City favors the backage road <br /> alignment. <br /> MnDOT will need to work with the Gloria Dei Church during the R/W acquisition process <br /> to mitigate impacts to the back portion of their property. <br /> CAMy Documents\City Clerk\HIGHWAY 371\Meetings\102505 List of Issues for City MnDOT mtg-memo.doc <br />
