The subject was reviewed at the Minnetonka Beach Council meeting in September, and they stated that the Council did not approve of the proposed closing of Crystal Bay Road as a through road. The City has yet to receive a written response. Gerhardson confirms that their motion was unanimous. On October 5, 1988, the City Administrator sent a letter to the City of Minnetonka Beach requesting a written response regarding their action at their September meeting. As of this writing we have no formal response. In consideration of the original directives to Mr. Schup, Mr. Gerhardson presented another update memo on the closing of the road before the Council at the September 28th meeting. The residents appeared before the Council with a petition of certain property owners approving the road closing. This petition is not available for enclosure in your packets as one of the residents asked for it back in order to complete the neighborhood survey. Per Exhibit M, they recommended a physical barrier at the municipal boundary intersection at the west end of the road, but it is not clear as to what type of barrier is being recommended. The roadway would remain in place providing access to the remaining property owners achieving access via the original west entrance at the Shadywood Road intersection (County Road 19). Please review the Council minutes of September 28, 1988. Council has directed that the application for the repair of the road be immediately reviewed by the Planning Commission and requested that staff advise all property owners served by Crystal Bay Road of the October 17, 1988 Planning Commission meeting. Council advised that the road was to be repaired whether there would be a road closing or not approved for Crystal Bay Road and that it appeared that the road repair would have no bearing since sections of the road would be retained for use. Once again, the major concern of the residents was the proposed use of the guardrails because of the steep bank along the sides of the road, the adjacent lakeshore yards have not been restored and the areas remain unattended with sheer steep cuts into the bank and roadbed. remain in a disturbed state. The guardrails are necessary to meet the safety standards for the users of a public roadway. Guardrails are only a temporary condition as once the banks of the lakeshore properties are restored, the guardrails can be removed. A Meu ft.
