The Sohns driveway <br />location has better sight distance to the west than <br />the Batdorf driveway because of a rise in the profile <br />of County Road 15 to the west. <br />Sight distances and intersection characteristics at the <br />existing Sohns driveway location are excellent, and are <br />the best of any location along County Road 15 anywhere <br />between Dunwoody Avenue and County Road 19. <br />The Burlington Northern Railroad Track forms a barrier <br />along the north side of all this property eliminating <br />any individual driveway connections, and severely <br />restricting the potential for any future public street <br />connection to Northern Avenue. <br />One potential street crossing of the railroad has been <br />located at a point where there is no vertical grade <br />separation and where there is good sight distance along <br />both the railroad track and Northern Avenue. This location <br />would have better sight distance and highway traffic <br />pattern characteristics than does the existing Northern <br />Avenue/Blaine Avenue railroad crossing location. <br />I • <br />Possible street connection locations along Blc ne Avenue <br />are practically limited to continuation and extension of <br />existing Livingston and Lyric Avenues. <br />The existing Navarre Heights neighborhood east of Blaine <br />Avenue has existing traffic problems caused by: <br />a) Narrow streets, especially Blaine Avenue and <br />Navarre Aveune. <br />b) Poor intersections, especially Blaine at Crystal <br />Place, Crystal Place at Shadywood, Lyric at <br />Navarre Avenue and Blaine at County Road 15. <br />c) Excessive through traffic on Northern Avanue <br />and Crystal Place, especially during plant <br />shift changes in Spring Park. <br />d) Heavy traffic flows and too many unplanned or <br />marginal intersections and curb cuts on County <br />Road 15. <br />Page 3 of 8
