CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 90-25 TO
REQUEST A VARIANCE FROM STATE AID STANDARDS
JUNE 4, 1990
The purpose of this item is to request MnDOT
to approve a variance to State Aid Standards
for the construction of the sidewalk on Fish
Point Road.
The Fish Point Road - T.H. 13 Project included
the extension of sidewalk from T.H. 13 to the
Middle School. During the plan review process
it was discovered that the standards have
changed since 1979. This primarily was due to
the use of smaller cars requiring vertical
curves to be slightly longer. The curves by
today's design standard are from 28 to 30
m.p.h. vs 30 m.p.h. A variance from the
standards is required to expend funds for the
construction of the sidewalk.
At the time this was discovered the project
was divided into two projects, one the
intersection improvements and the other the
sidewalk improvements. The reason for this
was to have plan review and cooperative
agreement preparation ongoin'1 for the
intersection improvements pr10r to the
approval of a variance. The variance
committee will meet in June or July. Once the
variance is approved the project can be
advertised for bids. Construction will
probably commence at the end of August.
Plan ap~roval and the preparation of the
cooperat1ve agreement for the intersection
improvements are anticipated by MnDOT to be
complete at the end of June. Depending on
timing the construction will commence in July
or August.
A copy of the Resolution requesting a variance
is attached.

DISCUSSION:
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ALTERNATIVES:
ACTION REQUIRED:
In order to utilize MSA funds for the
construction of the sidewalk, a variance from
MSA standards is required. If the Council
chooses to construct the sidewalk without MSA
funds, a variance is not required. The
estimated cost is $60,000 for the construction
of the sidewalk. Another option is to
reconstruct Fish Point Road to meet MSA
standards. This option is not practical as
the deviation from 30 m.p.h. standards is
minimal and would require complete
reconstruction from Huron Street to the
north.
The recommendation is to approve Resolution
90-25 requesting a variance to the standards.
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve Resolution 90-25.
2. Construct the sidewalk without MSA funds.
3. Reconstruct Fish Point Road from Huron
Street to T.H. 13.
4. Table this item for a specific reason.
5. Do not construct the sidewalk.
Make a motion as part of the Consent Agenda to
approve Resolution 90-25.
