� • � • <br /> ! <br /> d C�t� o� ORONO <br /> � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL .. <br /> � NO. <br /> —�-- <br /> • � • • <br /> c) Use of the existing signalized inter'section at <br /> County Road 19 and 15. The best route from the <br /> proposed development to this intersection is via <br /> Livingston Avenue because Livingston is wider than <br /> Crystal Place or Lyric, because Livingston has <br /> the best intersection with County Road 19, and <br /> because Lyric and Crystal Place each have poor <br /> intersections within the existing neighborhood. <br /> 12) The applicant ' s revised #585 plan dated July 19, 1982, <br /> indicated a single plat access by extension of Livingston • <br /> Avenue as was reviewed and recommended durinq review of <br /> • application #671. Some :zeighborhood residents • <br /> continued to complain of this design as unriecessiarily <br /> concentrating traffic on Livingston Avenue. These <br /> residents suggested also .extending Lyric Avenue into <br /> the plat as shown on attached Exhibit A. Extension <br /> of Lyric Avenue as a through street in lieu of the cul <br /> • de sac shown on the July 19, 1982, pl'an does disperse <br /> the traffic better, allows easier mainteriance by the <br /> City, and improves public safety access by allowing <br /> alternative routes. This design is also recommended . <br /> by staff as tending to increase use of improved Blaine <br /> Avenue without overly burdening existing Lyric Avenue. <br /> 13) The proposed traffic pattern (extending both Livingston <br /> and Lyric Avenues into the proposed development, widening , <br /> Blaine Avenue and improving the Blaine - County Road 15 <br /> intersection; and providing for a future western loop • <br /> to County Road 15) is designed to disperse the new <br /> traffic as much as possible, is designed to improve <br /> some of the existing neighborhood traffic problems and <br /> is designed to utilize the best locations for access to <br /> County Road 15. , <br /> 14) The proposed traffic pattern including widening of Blaine <br /> Avenue and improvement of Blaine - County Road 15 <br /> intersection, has been recommended by Hennepin County <br /> Department of Transportation and the City staff reports <br /> as being the best of several solutions available. There <br /> will be traffic increases in the existing neighborhood, <br /> but the traffic analysis concludes that the new traffic <br /> will be compatible with traffic expected in any residential <br /> � neighborhood, and will not overload the existing roadway. <br /> No widening or other physical changes� to Livingston or <br /> Lyric Avenues is recommended at this time. <br /> Page 6 of 17 <br />
