f r Other issues for discussion ns raised with previous applications 1. 2. City agreeded to vacate west half of Navarre Lane in prior application. The southerly access is the same as approved for the prior bank/office/retail proposal and is located consistent with the Walgreen's proposal. The City of Orono shall reserve the right, with Hennepin County, to limit access for the southerly entrance/exit to a right in/out should traffic levels increase to create a public safety concern. Driveways and curb cuts for business uses are regulated by Section 6.05 of the municipal code. The proposed access plan appears to meet the standards of that section, with the exception that only one driveway access is normally allowed for a business s>te. This proposal has two. The second access was discussed at length during the prior proposals, and ultimately was approved for the bank/office/retail plan. The circuiaiion pattern for the current plan is quite similar to the earlier plans (bauk/office/retail and Walgreen ’s), counterclock>^se around the building to accommodate the drive-thru. The second access is expected to provide a safer exit for delivery trucks leaving the site than would be by a single access to the property. ^ 3.This proposed access connection is similar to that approvea for the bank/office/retail plan in 1998. The plan would circulate similar to the access that exists.
