1.) Approve Meeting Minutes
Attach the attendance sheet with the minutes.
In the second paragraph under item 2-Site History, the sentence reading "The City's
storm water plan needs to be considered with this EA." should read "The EA should
include the City's storm water impacts as they relate to this project."
The minutes were approved with corrections.
2.) Property Owner Issues
The agenda was amended to include a discussion on property owner issues as requested by
Jeff O'Neil. Jeff gave the committee a handout which included issues and data that affect the
available developable land as they relate to the CSAH 18 interchange. Mr. O'Neil requested
that the committee consider and provide solutions to the concerns as the project continues
forward.
An issues map was provided to the committee by WSB that already addressed many of the
concerns raised. WSB will be investigating these issues along with the interchange project.
3.) Discuss CORSIM Analysis
FHWA Concerns — Mr. Graeber questioned if preliminary analysis had been completed
to analyze the configuration of the CSAH 18 interchange before a full CORSIM analysis
is completed. It was stated that the original Interchange Access Request approved by
FHWA would be a representation of preliminary analysis of the I94 operations. WSB
has also completed some SYNCHRO analysis on the current configuration of the
CSAH 18 interchange at the ramp terminals and other surface street intersections. Mr.
Graeber requested to review the SYNCHRO analysis prior to starting the CORSIM
analysis.
Mr. Graeber also expressed the concern that FHWA has for folded diamond
interchanges that connect into city streets at the ramp terminals. This configuration
precludes possible improvements to the interchange if operations break down. It was
stated that the preliminary and CORSIM operational analysis at the interchange should
give indication if the interchange would expect any operational failures.
➢ CORSIM Analysis -
The CORSIM Analysis should include a model calibrated to represent the existing
conditions on I94. This would include I94 operations at AM & PM 3-hour peaks. The
surface street operations should include the exit ramp terminal at CSAH 75 and the
existing signal at CSAH 75 & CSAH 18. The interchange ramps at TH 25 should be
included in all of the models to analyze weaving between ramps; however the ramp
terminal intersections at TH 25 would be excluded because of the 2-mile separation
between TH 25 and CSAH 18. Speed studies and queue observations should be
completed to calibrate the model. Mr. Sommers stated Mn/DOT has drafted a CORSIM
manual of procedures that should be followed for this project.
The Analysis will include the following:
• 2003 Existing
l • 2026 No Build Alternative
o Assume I94 is 6 lanes
• 2006 Build Alternative
o Assume I94 is 4 lanes
• 2026 Build Alternative
o Assume I94 is 6 lanes
Mr. Humbert will get the latest I94 forecasts from the SRF study.
4.) Discuss Functional Classification of CSAH 18
A question was raised if the county classifies CSAH 18 as a minor arterial. The county
responded that CSAH 18 has 75' of right-of-way on each side for an upgrade to 4-lanes. The
City currently has 50' on each side. The roadways classification will be influenced under the
updated Monticello transportation plan that is in the process of completion. The county is
also doing a study that will determine its classification.
5.) Discuss Project Construction Staging
The project's construction staging will be influenced on whether I94 will go under or over
the railroad. A geologist at Mn/DOT is currently looking at the railroad issue. Mn/DOT is
also working with contacts at the railroad to determine the need for a temporary bridge over

the railroad to bypass traffic during construction if I94 goes under. If I94 goes over the
railroad Mn/DOT will keep 1-lane each direction open. If I94 goes under Mn/DOT will have
to carry 4-lanes because of the time needed to move the necessary dirt.
Mn/DOT has agreed to work out the billboard acquisitions.
6.) Next Meeting — TAC/PAC Scheduled for Sept. 18th, 2003 at 3:00 pm. Note: The meeting
was rescheduled to Wednesday, September 17" , 2003.
