SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF EAGAN 'l'OWNSHIP, DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
May 9, 1966
A special joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and Advisory Planning
Committee was held at 7:30 P. M. at the town hall at which all board members
were present and in addition, Klingel, Wachter, Diffley, Polzin and Christenson
from. the Advisory Planning COIIlIIlittee. Mr. McCubbrey and Mr. Kackelmyer from
the Minnesota Highway Department and Mr. James BaBiou and Mr. Louis Wachtler
of Dakota County were present.
The purpose of the meeting was to permit the Minnesota Highway Department
representatives explain the proposed interchanges and frontage roads along
the proposed #351. The projected lay-out of the area in the vicinity of the
interaection of Yankee Doodle Road and Highway 131 was discussed particularly
in respect to the location of a frontage road to the north of 135E. The
Highway Department representatives requested a resolution from the township
concerning the proposed location of the frontage road. It was stated that
a seven-ton road would be feasible for the frontage road. It was stated'by Super
v~sdr Klein that it is the position of the township that Dakota County has
agreed to take over Yankee Doodle Road for maintenance and reconstruction
purposes.
In addition the representative indicated that because of the
projected heavy traffic at the intersection a full diamond interchange would
appear to be necessary. The Advisory Planning Committee and the Board took
the matter of the frontage road under advisement. However, the Board
requested the town attorney to contact the property owners affected near
the location namely: Edward Reed, William Reed, Walter Englert, and Donald
Sandberg concerning the location of the proposed road on the East 1/16th
line intersecting Yankee Doodle Road, one-quarter mile west of Highway 131.
It was requested that the property owners be present at the next regular meeting
of the Board of Supervisors to discuss the location.
In addition the Highway Department representatives suggested that the
town study the possible purchase of access up to 300 feet near the intersection
of Highway #13 and Yankee Doodle Road and at other tmpartant access points.
Other items of discussion included the suggestion that leg~slation
be submitted at the next regular session of the Minnesota legislature covering
the improvement of Cedar Avenue between Highway 113 and #35E.
The Highway Department representatives further indicated that a full
diamond would be installed at the intersection of #35E and 126 when jus~~fied
by traffic flow in the area; that ramps going south at the intersection of
#351 and #30 and in addition the intersection of #35E and Cliff Road would
be programmed for the future when the traffic flows at those locations justify
such installation; and further that the Highway Department will send lay-outs
of these proposed intersections to the town engineer.
The Highway Department representative indicated that acquisition of
the right-of-way along the proposed $494 in Eagan Township is now being
accomplished.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
