Councilmember Paulson inquired if there are any volunteers related with the Explorer Post. The City Manager noted there are volunteers that participate with the Explorer Post. Councilmember Pedlar stated he believes it is great the City recognizes volunteers but added he feels the City misses a number of them. He noted he has been asked by many organizations, including the Fire Department, how they get invited to a Volunteer Recognition Event. He inquired if the City had any idea of how many other organizations were being missed. The City Manager stated he is not sure it is possible to reach all volunteers. He noted staff will get information to the Council on all organizations which are on the staff's list. Councilmember Pedlar stated he believes if they cannot all be recognized, then it should not be done at all. Councilmember Cohen requested the City Manager to review this issue and see if there is someway of recognizing all volunteers. The City Manager stated he would review this issue but noted the City would always run the risk of missing someone. RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 7:22 p.m. and reconvened at 8 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO 69TH AVENUE NORTH FROM WEST CITY LIMITS TO DUPONT AVENUE The City Manager noted this is a formal public hearing on the proposed improvements to 69th Avenue North from the west city limits to Dupont Avenue. He noted notices of this hearing have been published in the City's official newspaper and individual notices have been sent to the owners of all properties within one block of 69th Avenue North. He noted in addition, three public informational meetings were conducted on February 28, March 1, and March 5, 1990, after mailed notices of these meetings were sent to all property owners within one block of 69th Avenue North. He stated approximately 250 persons attended these informational meetings. He noted it is recommended the public hearing this evening be conducted in seven parts. He then proceeded to review the format for this evening's meeting. The Director of Public Works proceeded to review the project noting for the Mayor and City Council and those present in the audience the different types of roadways located within Brooklyn Center. He then went on to note the general problems along the entire corridor of 69th Avenue North. Those being roadway deficiencies, inadequate pedestrian/bikeway facilities, inadequate setbacks, little opportunity for landscape, and overhead utility lines. He then proceeded to review the grading and drainage problems along the proposed improvement area. The Director of Public Works indicated the traffic problem areas and pointed out the average daily traffic volumes for the three segments of the improvement area. He noted the average daily traffic volumes are from 1987 and a projection has been made for the year 2007. He explained many reports and studies have been completed regarding this proposed improvement area noting copies of all reports are available for the public at City Hall. He then went on to review 3/26/90 -6- the cost estimates for the three alternates, noting these figures represent 1990 construction dollar amounts. He stated it is proposed the improvement would be done in three segments, those being Noble Avenue to Shingle Creek Parkway, 1990 through 1992; west of Noble Avenue, after 1992; and east of Shingle Creek Parkway, after 1992. The Director of Public Works then introduced Glen Van Wormer of Short- Elliott- Hendrickson, the consultant on this project. Mr. Van Wormer reviewed the project area noting the problem areas of the many curves and bridge along the area. He noted the question this evening is not a matter of whether something will be done but when it will be done. Mr. Van Wormer stated several alternatives have been reviewed for this project. He stated for the segment between Zane Avenue and Noble Avenue, it is proposed a two -way left turn lane be installed with a through lane in each direction. He noted there are some drawbacks to this proposal, but overall, it is very workable. Mr. Van Wormer stated in the segment from Shingle Creek Parkway east to Dupont Avenue North, a single lane is proposed in each direction with a possible second lane near Humboldt Avenue. Mr. Van Wormer stated in the section between Noble Avenue and Shingle Creek Parkway, many different plans were looked at for the intersection of 69th Avenue North and Shingle Creek Parkway. He noted the final plan would cut into the park but not a significant impact. He noted there is a need for extra lanes between Shingle Creek Parkway and Brooklyn Boulevard. He explained the need for additional lanes would mean a need for 100 feet of roadway but noted there is only 66 feet of right -of -way. He noted this issue brought forth many alternatives. He explained one alternative would be to take the north side of the cemetery and continue along the south side of 69th Avenue North past Brooklyn oulevard. He yn noted another alternative would be to take the north side of 69th Avenue North to Brooklyn Boulevard or take P art of the north and part of the south side or squeeze whatever is possible into the existing right - of -way. He then went on to review the three alternates. Mr. Van Wormer stated he would not expect any changes in the speed limit along this corridor. He noted currently the Brooklyn Center Police Department has been doing radar checks in the area and have noted there is not a significant amount of speed differential between Humboldt Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard. He noted also the stop signs on France Avenue have not appeared to reduce the speeds in the area. The Director of Public Works noted in the segment between Noble Avenue and Shingle Creek Parkway, the issues which must be addressed based on Alternates A, B, or C are: property acquisition; drainage improvements; complete regrading; curb, gutter, and bituminous surfacing; sidewalks and trails; provisions for improved vehicular access and pedestrian crossing safety; landscaping; possible. removal of overhead wires; and possible street lighting improvement. He noted the estimated project costs based on 1992 construction figures would be $5,574,000 for Alternates A or B, or $3,759,000 for Alternate C. He then went on to review the assessment policy for this area. He noted the special assessments would not be levied until the project is complete. 3/26/90 -7- The Director of Public Works then reviewed the revenue summary, noting the City would expect to obtain funding from the municipal State aid street fund, the County State aid highway funds, and the Brooklyn Center public utility fund. He noted along with the notice of the meeting, a questionnaire was sent to all property owners between Brooklyn Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway along 69th Avenue North. He went on to review the questionnaire and the responses received from those residents. The Director of Public Works went on to review the impacts of the "no build" alternate. He noted among these impacts there would be the continuation of existing conditions, traffic volumes, congestion which would not decrease but could possibly increase, safety hazards to pedestrian and bicyclists, and no change in air or noise pollution. He continued by outlining the impacts of Alternates, A, B, and C. He noted in Alternate A, it would be necessary to acquire 22 homes, two complete commercial properties, and two partial commercial properties. He stated in Alternate B, it would be necessary to acquire 22 homes, and two complete commercial properties. He noted in Alternate C, it would be necessary to acquire 13 homes and two complete commercial properties. He noted by using Alternate C the new sidewalks and trails would be closer to the homes. Mayor Nyquist inquired if the traffic projections were based on the existence of the 610 cross -town. Mr. Van Wormer stated the 610 cross -town is far enough away to not impact this project. Councilmember Pedlar inquired if there were not any traffic volume increases, would it still be necessary to improve the roadway. Mr. Van Wormer stated there would still be problems in the area, such as the curves, bridge, and also the congestion at 69th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard. Councilmember Paulson noted for the audience this is the third time the City Council has reviewed the project and noted most of its questions have already been answered. He stated the Council is interested in hearing the audience input this evening. RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 9:22 p.m. and reconvened at 9 :36 p.m. Mayor N uist y yq opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on the first phase improvements from Noble Avenue North to Shingle Creek Parkway. He recognized Phil Wilson, 3706 69th Avenue North. Mr. Wilson stated the residents along 69th Avenue North between Brooklyn Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway held a meeting on Sunday evening, March 25, 1990, and elected a spokesperson to speak for the group. He then introduced Stanley Hahn, 4014 69th Avenue North. Mr. Hahn stated he owns the second oldest home in Brooklyn Center, and it dates back to 1880. He noted he is representing 24 residents who live along the north side of 69th Avenue North. He stated, basically, the group feels the Council is dealing with two issues this evening. First, should anything be done, and second, if it is to be done, what are the options. Mr. Hahn stated, as a group, the residents along the north side of 69th Avenue North support Alternate B. He noted each resident has a unique situation with his home, and it is a very emotional issue but one that must be dealt. He stated he and the residents along the north side of 69th Avenue North urge the City Council to accept Alternate B for the proposed redevelopment of 69th Avenue North. Mr. Wilson 3/26/90 -8- then presented a letter to the City Council which was signed by each of the residents along the north side of 69th Avenue North. The Director of Publi Works then presented info=ation on the acquisition process for the homes. He noted the acquisition process results in an equitable financial settlement for the residents. Mayor Nyquist recognized Bonnie Engler, representing Pilgrim Cleaners at 6850 Brooklyn Boulevard. She noted this business has been located on this site for 30 years. She noted Pilgrim Cleaners strongly opposes the closing of the driveway off of 69th Avenue North. She noted she feels this will cause a loss of business because of the difficult access. She requested a median be installed on 69th Avenue North which would allow for an entrance into the business or the possibility of an entrance and service road along Brookdale Pontiac property be explored. She requested the access on 69th Avenue North be kept open during construction. The City Manager stated he has spoken with representatives of Pilgrim Cleaners and will investigate both solutions presented this evening. Mayor Nyquist recognized' Arnold Land, 6845 York Place. Mr. Land asked when an accurate reflection of the special assessments for the townhomes would be possible. The City Manager stated they would hope to have answers by the end of the year. He noted he would have staff contact Mr. Land. Mayor Nyquist recognized Randy Rowe, 6840 Brooklyn Boulevard, owner of Brooklyn Center Mobil. Mr. Rowe stated he has the same problem as Pilgrim Cleaners and would like a curb cut in the median on 69th Avenue North. The City Manager stated staff will be working with these property owners but noted there are not as many alternatives on the west side of Brooklyn Boulevard as on the east side. Mayor Nyquist recognized Ernie Erickson, 6800 Drew Avenue North. Mr. Erickson stated he has a number of safety concerns between Grimes and Drew Avenues on the south side of 69th Avenue North. He noted there -are many children in the neighborhoods which cross 69th Avenue North to get to Palmer Lake Park. He stated he would urge the Council to accept either Alternate A or B and reject Alternate C. He noted, however, he did have some concerns with the demolition of an historic site. Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone present who wished to address the Council regarding the overall corridor improvement. He recognized Rich Hall, 2208 69th Avenue North. Mr. Hall inquired if the bridge over Shingle Creek would be rebuilt. The City Manager stated this bridge may be built before the rest of that segment of the project is completed. He noted the Park and Recreation Commission has indicated this area is the most difficult safety area for the trailway system. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mary Heitzig, 3618 69th Avenue North. Ms. Heitzig stated she would request a quick decision by the City Council this evening as this is a very emotional issue. She noted prolonging the issue only adds to the anxiety. Mayor Nyquist recognized Ron Nelson, 6925 France Avenue North. Mr. Nelson 3/26/90 -9- stated he sympathizes with the residents along both the north and south sides of 69th Avenue North. He inquired what type of rerouting would be done during construction. The Director of Public Works stated it is anticipated the traffic would be able to continue along 69th Avenue North during the entire project. He noted, however, there may be some people who choose to go a different route. Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to address the Council. There being none, he entertained a motion to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to close the public hearing on proposed improvements to 69th Avenue North from west City limits to Dupont Avenue. The motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Cohen stated it appears it is the desire of the residents that a decision be made this evening. He stated he feels there has been enough information presented to be able to make that decision. He noted he does not believe the "no build" alternative is a solution. He added he would like to commend the residents on the north side for their actions this evening. He noted, however, he is concerned with the residents on the south side of 69th Avenue North. He noted no one appeared to speak this evening and inquired if it might be possible to take the homes along the south side and create a parkway through the entire area. Councilmember Scott noted a project of this type has been put off for many years, partially due to the fact Brooklyn Center did not have control of this roadway in the past. She noted she does not believe Alternate C to be a viable alternate and stated she feels Alternate B is the best solution. Councilmember Paulson stated he has had an opportunity to talk with many of the residents in this area, and he is impressed with the fact they do not think only of their benefit but also that of the City. He noted it is a difficult decision to take homes, and it is also difficult to lose residents. There was a motion by Councilmember Paulson and seconded by Councilmember Scott to approve the Resolution Ordering Improvement with Alternate B. Councilmember Cohen stated he would like to amend the resolution and ask the EDA to explore the possibility of additional redevelopment of the south side of 69th Avenue North. Councilmembers Paulson and Scott accepted Councilmember Cohen's amendment. Councilmember Pedlar stated he is concerned by the lack of discussion and input from the south side residents. He added he likes the parkway concept presented by Councilmember Cohen. He stated he would like to propose an Alternate D which would be the taking of all homes on the north and south sides of 69th Avenue North for a parkway. He noted he does not support Alternate B because it leaves the residents on the south side of 69th Avenue North without many benefits. RESOLUTION NO 90 -66 Member Todd Paulson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 1990 -10, RECONSTRUCTION OF 69TH AVENUE NORTH FROM NOBLE 3/26/90 -10- AVENUE NORTH TO SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed. Councilmember Pedlar was opposed. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Cohen to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The Brooklyn Center City Council adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Deputy City Clerk - Mayor 3/26/90 -11-
