After extended review and <br />discussion of these issues, and the requirements being contemplated by the city, <br />Hennepin County will permit use of the existing Spring Hill Conference Center driveway <br />onto County State Aid Highway (CSAH 6). Although its location does not provide the <br />recommended westerly sight-distance for the posted 55 MPH speed limit, it is above the <br />acceptable minimum. <br />An entrance permit will be required which will have the following provisions. First, <br />as previously discussed, a westbound left turn/by pass lane on CSAH 6 will be <br />necessary, as will the removal of all existing field entrances. Second, an eastbound <br />right turn lane will also be required. The technical details of these auxiliary lanes <br />will be addrersid during the permitting process. <br />Finally, Hennepin County is asking hat access control rights be dedicated along all <br />county rights of way as part of the rez^ning/CUP. This action will provide clear, <br />specific definition of access rights the vicinity for any future development/ <br />redevelopment and assure the future sai, ind effective operation of CSAH 6. <br />Thanks again for your patience and support in this matter and please feel free to call <br />Dave Zetterstrom at 930-2548 or me at 930-2680 with any questions. <br />Sincerely <br />■ <br />Thomas U.
