PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING - PLANS FOR COUNTY ROAD 15 IMPROVEMENTS Callahan noted to the public that notices were sent to the property owners adjacent to the Bracketts Point section of County Road 15. This item has been removed from the agenda until the Council has had an opportunity to review the plans for this segment. The property owners were notified of this change. The purpose then of the meeting is for the County staff to present the plans for the segment of CoRd 15 from the Orono Orchard Road intersection to the eastern Orono border into the Wayzata area. The public were given an opportunity to review the layout and materials regarding this issue. Bruce Polycyzk of Hennepin County said no changes have been made to the layout from the last meeting regarding the reconstruction. At that time, the Council asked County staff to review the layout with the City of Wayzata. The Wayzata Council has adopted a resolution on the preliminary layout for CoRd 15. During the review of the layout, Polycyzk was asked why there would be an 8' paved shoulder. The road design requires the shoulder size. Because of state aid sources, the road must be designed by the state standards. No parking will be allowed on the shoulders but can be used for disabled vehicles and a walk/bikeway. The County will ask the City for a resolution to prohibit parking. It was noted that the design speed of the road is 40 mph with 50 mph further east near the City boundary. The curve area speed is designed for 30 mph. The Orono border speed limit would be posted at 35 mph. Jabbour commented that a study would be done where car speed would be clocked and an average used to see where the 35 mph should be located. The 45 mph designed road would require that the road not be posted above that design speed. 1
