The public road would be platted with a 60-foot wide Right of Way and cul-de-sac at the Rudd’s east property line. Sixty feet is a standard Right of Way width in Medina, so it makes sense to continue this width to the end of the road. The proposed concept is for two driveways off of the cul-de-sac. One driveway will serve the Fraizer property. The other driveway would be a shared driveway to serve the Slaughter and Hickey properties. Our understanding is the Slaughter ’s and Hickey’s have an access easement for a driveway across the Fraizer property. A copy of these easement documents should be provided to the City for our review to verify that there is a legal access for all of the properties. The road in Orono should be built to the same standards as the road in Medina. Varying the road standards for the small segment of road in Orono is not practical. Project Schedule This project will require plat approval in both Orono and Medina. Medina ’s schedule is to have the plat approval process completed by July 1“, so the process for securing funding from MNDOT can be started. Our understanding is that the proposed schedule for the road construction with MNDOT funding is scheduled for 2003 at the same time the new traffic signal is installed at the Highway 12/ County Road 29 intersection. We are recommending that this road be constructed as soon as possible to eliminate the hazardous driveway on Highway 12.The proposed schedule !: for the Council to review and provide comments on this concept plan at this meeting.
