END OF CONSENT AGENDA MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Holton, approving the minutes of the regular meeting of December llth, 1986, as written. Ayes - 5 - Nays - O. Mayor Branning asked if anyone was present at this time to address the Council on any item not on this meeting's agenda'. There was no one present to speak. Alan Kohls, of the Historical Committee, was present to discuss a pro- SCOTT SCHOOL posal for restoring a school house now located on the Agnes Scott RESTORATION property. School District 196 has been approached for assistance with DISCUSSION the project, but has made no commitment. It is proposed to relocate the building at Hayes Field, however a site has not been pinpointed yet. Mr. Gurban said he believes the building can be accommodated there, though the site is yet to be determined. Councilmember Goodwin expressed concern about potential vandalism at the Hayes site and asked whether the School District might have a site where it could be located as a his- torical building. Mr. Kohls said he had not discussed a site with them, but could ask about it and research it further. Councilmember Savanick said one proposed use of the building is for meeting space. If this is done, would it have to meet the building code? Mr. Gretz said the requirements depend on the size of the facility and he would have to review the plans. Carlyle Mitchell and Barbara Linkert, of the Historical Committee, were also present and said the total cost for restoring the building is $20,000 including the cost of moving it. Mayor Branning asked that more research be done on a site and more details on the financial data be prepared and the Council discuss the proposal further in January. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Humphrey, approving the design for DESIGN FOR County Road 42 Improvements, between Pennock and the Burns- COUNTY ROAD 42 ville border, as recommended in Mr. Gretz's memo dated IMPROVEMENTS December 17, 1986, including: full access at Redwood Drive; signalization at Elm Drive; acquisition of the house at the northwest corner of Hayes Road and County Road 42; a full intersection at the Carroll farmstead; and right turn lanes at all full intersections in the project. Councilmember Humphrey said he believes the signal at Elm Drive is important for pedes- trians as well as vehicles and would like to try to get Federal funding for it. Peter Sorenson, of Dakota County, was present and said because the intersection does not meet signal warrants, it could slow the entire process. He could not recommend immediate CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota December 23, 1986 Page 3 County funding because other signals in the County have higher priority. The City could install it and have the County reimburse the cost when it is scheduled in the C.I.P. Larry Figgins, of Dakota County, was present and said the design will include grass medians instead of concrete between County Road 42 and the frontage road. Mr. Sorenson said the County received a petition from residents and the concerns expressed will be addressed in a report as part of the hearing proceedings. Councilmember Savanick asked what street lighting will be included? Mr. Sorenson said the County does not fund street lighting, however lights at each signalized intersection will be included in the plans. If other intersections need lighting, it is up to the City to address those. Councilmember Savanick also questioned visibility on the curve west of the Apple Valley border. Mr. Sorenson said there will be a six-inch concrete median dividing the driving lanes with necessary signage which should help define the roadway. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, amending the motion by including grass medians between County Road 42 and the frontage roads. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 1 (Humphrey).
