RESOLUTION REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM
MINNESOTA STATE AID STANDARDS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF THE RING ROAD
CITY PROJECT NO. 01-01
MOTION BY: PETERSEN
SECOND BY: ERICSON
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
The City of Prior Lake has planned the new alignment of the Ring Road from
Franklin Road to Trunk Highway 13, and
The City of Prior Lake will be expending Municipal State Aid Funds on the
improvements of this street, and
It is the desire of the City to utilize 25 mph design speed curves instead of the
required 30 mile per hour design speed curves at the intersections of the Ring
Road with Tower Street and Duluth Avenue for this improvement, and
The City Council finds that the revised alignment of the Ring 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 $25,000 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. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if fully set forth and are
deemed to be Findings of Fact.
The City of Prior Lake, Minnesota 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 25 mile per hour design speed for the horizontal
alignment curves in the vicinity of the intersections of the Ring Road with Tower
Street and Duluth Avenue.
3. The City Manager is hereby directed to submit the variance request.
