TOWNLINE ROAD PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR MAY 11,1998 <br />Gorman stated that the letter he received indicated that a light at the intersection wouldn t work <br />because tlie train viaduct wouldn't be wide enough. He suggested considering a limited access such <br />as one way access for Townline Road. Jabbour asked about a gate for emergency vehicles only. <br />Gorman responded that emergency access could be achieved with curbing on a cul-de-sac. He would <br />prefer this to iiaving the viaduct filled in. <br />Roger Diesen, 1100 Townline Road, referred to the four residences across the railroad tracks and the <br />comer of Medina. He has heard Medina may develop their property into 3/4 acre residential lots <br />which would increase the number of people requiring emergency services. He felt it was a major <br />mistake to close Townline Road. He suggested increasing weight limits or prohibiting tmeks to help <br />limit the road use. Emergency vehicles would still fit under the bridge. <br />Jabbour asked Cook if Medina would rezone their property to residential if the road remained as it <br />is. Cook did not know Medina's plans. Maple Plain Mayor Vigoren responded that it was his <br />understanding that Medina would rezone that property only if Maple Plain sells them water. <br />Linda Scalf, 4825 Broadmoor Drive, shared her concern about closing the underpass to emergency <br />vehicles. She was also concerned about the number of vehicles using the road who are not from the <br />area, and the failure to patrol the roads according to the speed limits. <br />Jabbour commented that the proposed new Highway 12 and County Road 6/Highway 12 interchange <br />could result in metering of traffic. Townline Road might be used as a shortcut. A similar situation <br />existed in Navarre when Old Beach Road was closed. <br />Mrs. Diesen, 1100 Townline Road, has lived at her residence for 66 years. For over 40 years she has <br />heard that County Road 19 was going to go further. <br />Lonny Underhill, 4785 Creekwood Trail, expressed his concern about signalizing the intersection. <br />He has observed that when Highway 12 is closed because of an accident, j^ople take shortcuts down <br />Townline Road. It no longer remains a quiet mral road. If the intersection were signalized, more <br />traffic would use it from Independence. With County Road 6 being uppaded, more traffic will use <br />that road also. He would like to see a cul-de-sac with emergency vehicle access. <br />Jane Slaughter stated that 3/4 acre lots seemed like a lot of housing to share a private road. Jabbour <br />responded that it was a Medina issue. <br />Slaughter asked if Orono would consider rezoning their area to be less than 5 acre lots. Jabbour <br />responded that it would be impossible with the current Council. Council is on record to develop as <br />stated in the Comprehensive Plan. Slaughter asked if Orono would have any input as to changes in <br />Medina. Jabbour responded that through the Comprehensive Plan update there would be an <br />opportunity for input, and her comments would be taken into consideration. Slaughter slated she has <br />a difficult'time being forced to maintain a 5 acre property and share a private road with 3/4 acre <br />J
