Mayor Branning asked if any one was present to address the Council at AUDIENCE DISCN. this time on any item not on this meeting's agenda. Gall Snobeck, CEDAR AVENUE 7865 Hallmark Way, distributed a letter dated March 13, 1986, to the TRAFFIC Council concerning traffic on Cedar Avenue. She is concerned with the area between 153rd and 157th Streets; the speed limit is too fast for a school zone and, with Menard's being built, some type of traffic signal should be considered. John Gretz said the speed limit is set by the State. The Council could request Mn/DOT to do a study, but it would probably not change. Dakota County has in- eluded a signal at 153rd and Cedar in its Capital Improvements Program for 1987 or 1988 and Cedar Avenue will be reconstructed in 1987 between 153rd Street and Dodd Road. The Mayor asked if a special study for a signal at 153rd and Cedar could be done now? Mr. Gretz said it is a three-way intersection now and would probably not have high enough traffic counts. Ms. Snobeck said she is more concerned about the Menard's entrance and the speed limit. Mr. Gretz said Menard's will be at 155th and Cedar and a signal will probably be installed there eventually, but is not included in the County's plans at this time. With the road being reconstructed in 1987, any improvements made now would have to be removed. The Mayor asked Mr. Gretz to contact Mn/DOT to see if a speed study would be needed and report back to the Council. Ed Carlier was present and asked why the 127th Street bridge over Cedar 127TH STREET Avenue has a fence on only one side? Mr. Gretz said the bridge was BRIDGE FENCE constructed by Mn/DOT and has a pedestrian walkway on only one side and that is were the fence was installed. Mr. Carlier said he saw children on the bridge's ledge and perhaps a fence on both sides should be considered. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, adopting Resolution No. 1986- 36 granting a conditional use permit to allow motor fuel sales for a ten-year period dn property in Section 34 at the north- east corner of Galaxie and 151st Street and authorizing issuance of a building permit for a car care center, with set- back variances shown on the site plan dated January 29, 1986, and a ten-foot parking setback on 151st Street, with occupancy contingent upon filing the final plat, .alt as recommended by the Planning Commission.

Mr, Asleson said every year the City is allowed additional mileage, based M.S.A. MILEAGE on miles of new construction, to be designated to the Municipal State Aid DESIGNATION street system.
