ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
September 29, 1997
Albertville City Hall 6:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Mark Olsen, Councilmembers Patricia
Stalberger, Duane Berning, Robert Gundersen, and John Vetsch, and
City Administrator Garrison Hale
Mayor Olsen called the special meeting for the purpose of
reconsidering the installation of trails as part of the CSAH 37/19
Intersection Realignment Project.
Hale briefed the Council that as part of the original plans
the project included trails. One stumbling block to constructing
the trails was in the lack of adequate right-of-way for full width
trails.
The City Planner forwarded to the Council copies of pages from
the adopted trails. Trail requirements were ten foot width with
boulevard areas. Hale explained, as the highway plan exists today,
trails cannot conform to the approved trail plan.
Councilmembers discussed the various legs to the highway plan
with trails. After consideration, the members believed the
priority areas were from Kalland Drive (Westwind) to the
intersection of County Road 37 and 19; along County Road 37 from
the intersection of CSAH 37 & 19 to Lachman Avenue NE; and from
Lachman Avenue NE to Burlington Northern railroad tracks.
The Council considered right-of-way widths and could only
approve trails where sufficient right-of-way width existed. A
problem exists on the Savitski property (south side) and will not
be wide enough to install a trail.
Moved by Vetsch, supported by Berning, to authorize Wright
County to install trials along County Road 37 commencing at Kalenda
Avenue (on the west) and proceeding to the intersection of County
Road 37 & 19, and to install trail from Lachman Avenue NE along
County Road 37 (south side) terminating at the Burlington Northern
Railroad tracks or 60th Street staying in the legal right-of-way.
Further, to authorize trail to be installed from the intersection
of County Road 19 and 37 proceeding on the south side of County
Road 37 to Lachman Avenue NE, conditioned upon the property owners
and the city executing an agreement for right-of-way sufficient in
width to accommodate a trail. All trails to be ten feet in width
or eight feet in width in the event the required right-of-way is
not available at a total project cost not to exceed $15,300 as
provided by Buffalo Bituminous to Wright County dated September 29,
1997. All voted aye.
