You offered some options for making possible the Service 800 access across from Brimhall Avenue. This letter is to confirm our understanding of those options. First, we understand that MnDOT will approve a right-in, right-out access at the existing curb-cut at approximately the center of the Service 800 property ’s southerly Highway 12 frontage, on a permanent basis, per your letter of January 8, 1999. That permit would be subject to a fee for signage and striping of a westbound right-tum lane. The options for access located directly across from Brimhall include the following: 1.MnDOT will approve an access driveway/road across from Brimhall under the existing right- of-way configuration as long as the driveway/road extends to the MNDOT right-of-way boundary at an angle of no less than 60 degrees from the shoulder of Highway 12. The proposal for which a permit was recently requested by Service 800, extends to the right-of-way boundary at an angle less than 60 degrees and which you consider as functionally parallel to Highway 12, hence your denial of the permit. Any design for an access directly across from Brimhall which meets the 60-degree standard will likely extend to the Otten property rather than to the Service 800 property, requiring an easement from Otten for Service 800 to use such access. Under this option, Otten’s existing access into Lot 2, East Willow Woods, would have to be eliminated. Telephone (613) 473-7357 « FAX 4734)510
