MINNESOTA 55392 <br />October 12, 1977 <br />Members of Orono Planning Coniaission <br />Members of Orono City Council <br />o <br />■.i'' <br />Dear Members, <br />Before you Is a proposal for upgrading lots l5, l6. Block 6 Navarre <br />Heights. We are in the Slectrical Contracting Business D.B.A. Village <br />Electric Company. We have been in business for six years in Navarre. We <br />would like to build a building on lots l5,l6 with the idea of housing <br />Village Electric and with possible business expansion in mind. <br />One thing that concerns us about the project is the proposed curb cut <br />onto County Road 4^15* Oe, September 21, 1977 I met with Mr. Don Murphy form <br />Hennepin County traffic engineering and went over the problem with him. <br />At that time he mentioned that the county was concerned about the traffic <br />safety. We are oncemed about traffic safety too but feel that the access <br />from Navarre Avenue is very inadequate. #1. The opening to Navarre Avenue <br />from County #l9 is oJ^ly 30 7 inches between the N.S.P. pole and the <br />stop si^ posts. Eight feet of this 35 feet right of way not paved. A <br />short distance up the hill only 15 feet is defined roadway. #2. We feel <br />this narrow roadway will make it very difficult for one car to enter and <br />one car BTd.t by the same means. <br />Our Architects have laid out ora* proposed lot design that will offer <br />a 30 foot curb cut in width and will give adequate car length. This will allow <br />a car to stop well out of the line of traffic, look and then proceed when <br />safe. It also eliminates conjestlon and confusion of two way traffic in <br />and out of one entrance. I have parked my truck on the proposed curb cut and <br />had good observation of traffic in both directions. <br />We feel, with the narrow approach of Navarre Avenue that two openings <br />to our parking area is necessary. With the design we feel it is safer <br />and will work better. <br />We request this as part of our proposal. <br />David C.
