The City of Pequot Lakes indicated that the design of Government Drive in was <br />pending Council approval. The City inquired as to what the County wanted <br />done. Rob Hall recommended that the City design Government Drive with the <br />understanding that CSAH 11 from the new bypass to the current TH 371 <br />intersection would be turned back to the City. Rob also indicated the City <br />should plan to take over responsibility of the existing TH 371 when the bypass is <br />completed as the County is not interested in maintaining that segment for the <br />long term. <br />2. Eagle View Elementary — This subarea focuses on the access to the school as <br />well as Breezy Point commercial /industrial development around the school. <br />Short and long term recommendations will be provided. A long range vision will <br />be developed that will likely incorporate access consolidation / management <br />improvements to maintain the safety, mobility, and capacity of the roadways <br />and businesses. <br />3. Ranchette Drive - This subarea in Breezy Point focuses on the intersection of <br />Ranchette Drive and CSAH 11. This subarea was added based on comments <br />received at the meeting. Access to the bar and hockey arena, as well as the <br />likely expansion of the arena, and potential hotel and convenience store will be <br />evaluated. Short and long term recommendations will be provided. A long range <br />vision will be developed that will likely incorporate access consolidation / <br />management improvements to maintain the safety, mobility, and capacity. <br />4. CSAH 11 Trail — This subarea will provide a high level look at the feasibility and <br />cost of providing a trail between Pequot Lakes and Breezy Point along CSAH 11. <br />Discussion by the group indicated that a bike group from Jenkins was spear <br />heading an effort to get an off -road CSAH 11 bike trail planned between Pequot <br />Lakes and Breezy Point. It was recommended that Sue Galligan from the <br />Chamber of Commerce be contacted to gain further information. <br />5. Ackerson Road / Buschmann Road —This subarea will look at this corridor, <br />which is north of CSAH 11. This corridor provides a straight east -west <br />connection between TH 371 and CSAH 11, east of Breezy Point. The roadways <br />generally follow the lay of the land and are very hilly and curvy, and <br />substandard. The subarea study will evaluate the cost and feasibility to improve <br />the corridor to County Road standards. <br />c. Review Schedule <br />A project schedule was distributed. The front end of this schedule was out of date, since <br />the study effort began late. The project will conclude in March 2012. The project team <br />intends on wrapping up Phase 1 in November 2011. Public open houses will be held <br />during Phase 2. <br />d. Discuss 2012 Overlay Project <br />Luke Wehseler from the County discussed the 2012 project. This project will provide a <br />1.5" Mill and Overlay of the driving lanes of CSAH 11 between Pequot Lakes (TH 371) <br />and Breezy Point (CSAH 4). The paved shoulders are less than 10 years old and in good <br />shape, therefore no work is anticipated on the shoulders. The sidewalks along CSAH 11 <br />in Pequot Lakes are not to ADA standards today. This project will trigger the need to <br />H: \CWC0\T42103934 \meetings \Task Force \Task Force Meeting 1 \Task Force 1 Minutes (9- 29- 11).docx <br />
