• ♦ . <br />Request for Council Action continued <br />page 2 of 2 <br />December 28, 1994 <br />Old Beach Road Traffic Control <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />Emergency vehicle response is mostly from the east, west and north. <br />It is easier to manage and control tlian other option. <br />Both Cities agree. <br />All residents agree. <br />By closing off the road to through traffic on Old Beach Road, there was concern that we may <br />place a burden on the intersection of County Road 15 and County Road 19. <br />We discussed this matter with representatives of Hennepin County Public Works. It is their <br />opinion that a left turn arrow added to the semaphore for southbound County Road 19 from <br />County Road 15 would be all that is necessary. <br />Hennepin County is willing to assist with signage and closing the road at the County Road 19 <br />end. <br />If everyone agrees that closing the road to through traffic is the best option, there are two issues <br />that must be solved: <br />1. <br />2. <br />The zoning code states that if a road exceeds 1,000 feet in length it must a <br />through road (1,250 feet in Orono, 850 feet in Minnetonka Beach). <br />By today’s standards there must be a cul-dc-sac that has a finished surface of 90 <br />feet in diameter. <br />Recommendation <br />It is staffs recommendation that Old Beach Road be closed at the County 19 end on an interim <br />or trial basis, during the winter season, and that a permanent cul-de-sac be constructed if the <br />interim closure works as planned. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Action to close Old Beach Road at the County 19 end, after a two week p of notification <br />and advance signing.
