<br />Exhibit A <br />Hennepin County Comment <br /> <br />Jason Gottfried (Jason.Gottfried@hennepin.us) <br /> <br />Access: While our first preference continues to be connecting these homes internally to Heritage Ln, we <br />understand that is not broadly supported. We would accept the use of the current driveway along CSAH <br />15 with the condition of both turn lanes being provided. Due to Shoreline Drive’s higher volumes, as a <br />two-lane roadway, we recommend turn lanes for both approaches (eastbound left, and westbound right <br />turn lanes). While trip generation may be somewhat low (7 homes), we would anticipate numerous <br />deliveries, landscapers, and other services frequenting this location. With any access along Shoreline <br />Drive, the WB right turn would be the predominate movement, but for the occasional EB left turn, <br />finding gaps to turn safely are minimal, and we would seek to have left turn lanes to provide residents <br />and visitors a more comfortable approach while allowing for heavy EB traffic volumes to pass more <br />safely in the dedicated thru lane. <br /> <br />Right-of-way: With continual erosion along the lakeshore, we believe it would be prudent to dedicate <br />right-of-way along the north side of Shoreline Drive when and where feasible to allow for future <br />roadway needs. This may possibly include shifting the roadway to the north in a future project to <br />minimize this erosion risk and degradation to the roadway. At this time, we request 27’ ROW on the <br />north half of CSAH 15. At minimum, dedication of ROW would be needed to cover turn lanes at this <br />location. <br />
