The commercial site at 3340 Shoreline Drive lacks access to Shadywood Road, and <br /> such lack of access presents difficulty for customers ingressing and egressing the <br /> property. <br /> 2. Although no comprehensive site development plan has been approved for the 2380 <br /> Shadywood Road property, the preliminary site development proposal includes an <br /> access at the location now proposed by applicants for access to 3340 Shoreline <br /> Drive. <br /> 3. The proposed access location entering Shadywood Road is approximately 130' from <br /> the north right-of-way line of Shoreline Drive where it intersects Shadywood Road. <br /> Because the City Engineer has indicated that this distance is potentially less than <br /> the optimum separation for an access from the major intersection at this location, <br /> and because there is a potential for a free right turn lane to be developed by <br /> Hennepin County at some time in the future from westbound Shoreline Drive to <br /> northbound Shadywood Road, it is appropriate to allow the proposed access on a <br /> temporary basis only, with the City retaining the right to require the access to be <br /> moved if conditions so dictate in the future. <br /> 4. Hennepin County Department of Public Works has permit jurisdiction over the <br /> proposed access location and has indicated that the County will approve the access <br /> as proposed. <br /> 5. Because the proposed new access will impact circulation in the parking lot at 3340 <br /> Shoreline Drive, Council has reviewed the safety concerns raised by the Planning <br /> Commission and has concluded that it is appropriate that applicant provide a 6' <br /> section of railing along the sidewalk outside the northwest restaurant entrance <br /> doorway as shown on Exhibit D attached. Council further finds that the revisions <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
