LAND SURVEY <br />(ASSOCIATES LTD) <br />December 19, 1996 <br />Mr. Jefifrey A. Carson <br />Carson and Clelland <br />6300 Shingle Creek Parkway, Suite 305 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55343 <br />®e: Dr. SoUner-Webb Property <br />Dear Mr. Carson; <br />Dr. Barbara Sollner-Webb, owner of Lots 95 and 96 in the TONKA VIEW <br />GARDENS Subdivision, has proposed to develop the site for future homes. The problem <br />encountered for this site is that although platted there is no available physical access to <br />either lot. Two options for access have been proposed with one originating from <br />Tonkaview Lar- south of the property along a dedicated 60 foot public right-of way, <br />known as Garden Lane, and the other alternative from an existing driveway off West <br />Branch Road (Co. Rd. 151). This report will look at the two options along with <br />construction costs for each access to the Sollner-Webb propert>'. <br />Access from the south from Tonkaview Lane <br />Street Construction <br />The southern access consists of constructing a road along Garden Lane from <br />Tonkaview Lane. Garden Lane is approximately 1750 feet long and ends at the southeast <br />comer of the Sollner-Webb property. Here, the street would Intersects with Highview <br />Lane (another public 60 foot dedicated street right-of way) and extend west, <br />appro.ximately 280 feet to the center of the southerly boundaiy of the Sollner-Webb <br />property. Existing topography of the area allows for the construction of an accessible <br />road. The southern half of the new road would follow closely to the grade of the existing <br />surface, while the northern access would require some grading due the severity of the <br />e.xisting slopes. <br />A public road and a private road were considered when looking at possible access <br />ways from the south to the Sollner-Webb property. A public road would consist of <br />constructing a 32 foot wide bituminous street section 2125 feet in length with concrete <br />curb and cutter and a 45 foot hammerhead cul-dc-sac at the end of the street. This option <br />requires installation of an underground storm sewer system to direct runoff from the street <br />4 <br />(612)933-0972 * 6110 Blue Circle Drive • Suite 100 • Minnetonka, MN 55343 • FAX (612) 933-1153
