Agenda for January 15, 1997 - Council Workshop
WSB Project No. 1033.00
Attached please find the presentation boards for the January 15th workshop meeting. My
presentation will be based on the information outlined on the boards and could include
additional items or fever items if so directed by the Council. Please review the information
C prior to 12:00 PM on Wednesday, and contact either myself or Chuck Rickart at 541.4800
if you have any comments.
C
Further, we would like some direction as to whether these presentation materials should be
provided as a handout on Wednesday, or if they should just be provided to the Council and
staff members. It should be noted that we have utilized the existing market values as
identified in the 1996 tax book to determine the possible acquisition costs of the various
properties affected by the Chelsea Road extension. While it is likely that these market values
do not directly correspond to the actual acquisition costs, they do provide some level of
comparison between the two alternatives.

Comment.Summary
Resident/Business Owner Comment
Virgil Hawkins
Prefer option with Chelsea intersection further to the
1101 W Broadway St
south (r Royal Tire, existing Sandberg Rd). This
Monticello MN 55362
option provides about 300 feet additional distance
612/295-6410
between signalized intersections on TH 25, which is
more desirable. Stacking room gained on Chelsea with
more northerly alignment (through R.V. center) is
minimal.
Super America Since there is a cul-de-sac at the end of Oakwood Drive,
109 Oakwood Drive why is there a need for the median strip on Oakwood Dr
Monticello MN 55362 in front of the McDonald's, Super America and Tont
612/295-0444 Thumb? Traffic would be greatly reduced by the cul-
de-sac. It would also reduce the cost of the project.
Dan Mielke Option 4D and Option 2. It's what's in the best interest
PO Box 562 of the city overall.
Monticello MN 55362
612/295-2176
Mark Olson Option #3 with Alter. 4A for 94 access. No businesses
240 W Oakwood Drive would be affected as muchl

Dick Kvanbeck
We are the fee owners of the property operated as Toni
T F James Co
Thumb at the SE comer of Hw-y 25 and Oakwood. We
PO Box 24137
support the approval of Option 4D with the new ramps
Minneapolis 1`fN 55424
to 1-94 and the intersection at Oakwood with left -tum
612/828-9000
movements. This is a good plan that makes sense. We
would oppose any plan that would place a median on
Hwy 25 through the Oakwood intersection.
Wes Olson
I question, why speed up the tremendous traffic through
Olsen Electric
this area with medians, cutting off businesses? Should
240 W Oakwood Drive
try to petition Mn/DOT for entrance/exit ramps west of
Monticello MN 55362
town to ease the funneling of traffic onto the freeway
612/295-2690
downtown. More turn lanes through median would be
better serving.
I'm not sure this whole project is in the best interests of
city taxpayers!
John Erlandson 1-94 should have a full cloverleaf at the Hw-y 25
201 Sandberg Rd intersection. In order to accommodate all traffic
Monticello MN 55362 effectively. Serious consideration should be given to
612/295-5400 exploring this option. It may mean relocating several
businesses (McDonald's, Super America) but in my
opinion, in order to maintain the flow of Oakwood
Drive, eliminate stop lights on H\ry 25 and create
smooth traffic flow into downtown.

Resident/Business Owner Comment
Scott Hiel At the spring of 1996 public meeting, the DOT
1320 W River St engineers told me they would not support the changes to
Monticello MN 55362 the 1-94 ramps. If the ramp reconstruction is not done in
612/295-3610 1998 with the rest of the project, 1 don't believe state
and federal funds would be forthcoming in the future.
Their focus would shift to other projects at the expense
of this one. Added to the project should be right turn
into Ford Motor from southbound Hwy 25. I prefer
Alternative 4A.
Jon Hansen The light has to stay, all business in access.

#1. If Alternative 4D is used, we would be in a bind
/ General Rental Center
\
for space for truck parking if any of our land is
216 Sandberg Rd
taken, as we are tight for trucks right now.
Monticello MN 55362
320/251-6320
#2. I would much prefer seeing the stop lights at
612/295-2300
Htvy 25 and Sandberg Rd and routing Chelsea
through that intersection.
#?. Put in a left-hand tum lane on Hwy 25 in place of
the concrete divider exception bridge.
Bruce Thielen Option 3 for the Chelsea Road alignment. Option 41)
118 Hillcrest for the on/off to the interstate.

I would like to know traffic floes and time schedule.
Sandip & Jadruti Bhakta Do not put cement barriers on Oakwood Dr, rather make

200 E Oakwood Dr

Why not begin exit ramp further west so that adjoining

Consider changing Sandberg Road to W Oakwood Dr.
For freeway frontage, Option 2 is preferred over
Option 3.

Consider Oakwood Drive West. Hwy business is
Box 656
geeing left out. The flow of traffic off of 25 should
240 W Oakwood Drive
include an Oakwood Drive West. Would like Sandberg
Monticello MN 55362
Road renamed to Oakwood Drive West.

Dorothy Ritz
Total needs to have access from Hwy 25, both north and
Hwy 25
south. We need a center tum lane rather than a concrete
Total Mart
barrier. There are many areas that have 5 lanes with the
Monticello MN
center a turn lane. If the project gets done as planned,
c/o Midwest Inc
we will lose business and be forced to close. Ours is
4420 Shoreline Dr
convenience and impulse, not a planned purchase. You
Spring Park MN 55384
will be responsible for puning us out of business with
this plan.
Marlin R Besler
I own the Total Mart on Hwy 25. The current plan
3240 Eagle Bluff W
would cause us to lose up to half of our business. This
Minnetrista MN 55364
would be caused by the southbound traffic not being
612/472-1771
able to get to our store. We favor Option 3 because it
612/471-7939
allows the southbound traffic to be able to access our
business. Without this change, it will force us to close
the business because we can not afford that amount of
lost business.
