Regular meetings have been held for the past few months regarding the T. H.
52 Corridor Study with representatives from Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount,
NIl�TDOT, Dakota County and Koch Refinery. Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. is
the consultant working on the Study. The objectives of the Study were to
determine the functional classifications of T.H. 52, thereby determining
the location and type of access points to the Trunk Highway.
The Study is approximately 70% - 80% complete. It has been determined that
T.H: 52 is considered a "freeway° type of principal arterial (P.A. ) thereby
limiting access to interchanges with other P.A. ' s and some minor arterials.
Short term solutions are being considered, including the installation of
signal lights on Highway 52 at 117th Street. This would be a temporary
situation. The construction of a frontage road on the west side of T.H. 52
south of 117th Street and the closure of direct accesses at Koch are being
considered. NIl�TDOT and Koch recognize the hazardous situation at 117th
Street and the Koch access and are anxious for these short term solutions
to be implemented. NIl�TDOT' s funding program would not allow these
improvements to happen until 1996.
NIlVDOT has recommended that these improvements could be implemented earlier
through a Cooperative Agreement. This is the same type of Agreement we
have entered into with NIl�TDOT far the Trunk Highway 3 Improvements. For
T.H. 52 we would need to work 'along with the City of I'nver Grove Heights to
implement a Cooperative Agreement. As part of the Cooperative Agreement,
N�TDOT requires that the improvements, (which in this case are the signal
lights and the frontage road south of 117th Street into Koch) are owned and
maintained by another public entity, which in this case would be Inver
Grove Heights and Rosemount. The initial indications from Koch are that
the additional right-of-way required would be on Koch groperty and may be
provided as public right-of-way by Koch. Furthermore, it means that the
City would be liable for all maintenance costs of this now °public" street.
We advise that the City enter into an agreement with Koch to determine the
allocation of all Cooperative Agreement costs and future ma.intenance cost
of the frontage road streets.

Dear Mr. Jilk:
Koch Refining Company has conducted an internal and external traffic study of its
facilities and the resulting impacts on the highway and road systems around the refinery.
Koch is also participating in the Highway 52l55 Corridor Task Force. As a result of
these activities and over deep coneern for the safe movement of vehicles in and around
the refinery, we would like to consider entering into a Cooperative Agreement with the
City of Rosemount to facilitate the construction of North/South frontage roads on the '--
west side of Highway 52.
We would like to meet with you and Bud Osmundson to discuss the implementation of a
Cooperative Agreement.
Sincerely;
V+
Ra.ymond V. Knutson
