- Turn-Around - The feasibility of a turn-around near the Crystal Bay Service was looked at, but not deemed feasible at this point. A requirement is state law is 1000 feet either direction - This would require removal of a number of small scrub trees east of Tonkawa Road. - Narrowing Driving Lanes - Currently the issue is looked at regarding the driving lanes as to whether they could be narrowed to; a) slow down traffic and b) not have to encroach towards the lake side any greater. It was determined that these are presently at the minimum standard for the County. - Rea 1ign Center Line - This was looked to swing it further to the north, but the County did not feel it was an appropriate solution based on current road structure. The possibility that a couple of the packages could be looked at, one for the short term and another for the long term with options 2 and 3 being shorter term solutions and option 1 being perhaps a longer term solution. The 1-4 widening of the shoulder may be a further encroachment of hardcover into the 0-75* lakeshore to the extent it is already not driven on gravel. This may require an amendment to Metro Waste Control's conditional use permit. Attached please find Mr. Singer's correspondence with DNR. ALTERNATIVES 1. Council directs staff on developing a desired alternative and/or variations. 2. Establish public meeting for January 23, 1989. 3. Eliminate undesired alternatives. 4. Develop a short term and long term strategy. 5. Table for further discussion. RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended the Council establish 1/23/89 as a date for consideration of alternatives having given staff direction as to a desired alternative. At this time the minor widening and curbing or the elimination of up to 6 slots without replacement would improve the safety as a long term solution Attachment H may lend some guidance for eventual eleimination. cc: David Singer, 3520 North Shore Drive, Wayzata Dennis Hanson, Hennepin County
