RESOLUTION REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM
MINNESOTA STATE AID STANDARDS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRUNK HIGHWAY 13 FRONTAGE ROAD
CITY PROJECT #02-05
MOTION BY: PETERSEN SECOND BY: BLOMBERG
WHEREAS, The City of Prior Lake has planned the new Trunk Highway frontage road connecting
Commerce Avenue to Boudin Street, and
WHEREAS, The City of Prior Lake will be expending Municipal State Aid Funds on the
improvements of this street, and
WHEREAS, It is the desire of the City to utilize one 20 mph and four 25 mph design speed curves
instead of the required 30 mile per hour design speed curves between the
intersections of the frontage road with Boudin Street and Commerce Avenue for this
improvement, and
WHEREAS, The City Council finds that the revised alignment of the frontage road is beneficial
since less property will be removed from private ownership, it minimizes the loss of
adjacent developable property, and the cost of the property required for the roadway
is reduced by an estimated $1,111,500 and roadway safety is not sacrificed.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA that the
City of Prior Lake, Minnesota:
1. Hereby requests a variance from the Minnesota Rule 8820.9936, State Aid Geometric Design
Standards for a reduction from a 30 mile per hour design speed to a 20 to 25 mile per hour
design speed for the horizontal alignment curves in the vicinity of the intersections of the
frontage road with Boudin Street and Commerce Avenue.
2. The City Manager is hereby directed to submit the variance request.
