Zoning File #1093 <br />January 7, 1987 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />* ISSUES - 1) Tanglewood Homeowners Association opposition vs <br />City/County right to require safest access; 2) Required <br />upgrading of Tanglewood Road or portions of it? 3) Who bears <br />cost of construction? 4) Maintenance responsiblity; 5) Timing <br />on changeover. <br />4. Allow both roads to exist for now, create an outlot to maintain <br />capability to combine Tanglewood and Knoll Manor at some future date. <br />* ADVANTAGES <br />- 1) May <br />minimize <br />construction costs for <br />developer; 2) <br />Makes use of <br />existing <br />driveway bese work; 3) No <br />disruption for <br />Tanglewood or <br />Underhill <br />residents. <br />* DISADVANTAGES - 1) Maintains status quo, but makes Tanglewood <br />access (slightly) less safe due to new traffic entering and <br />exiting near it. Does not create a better situation for now. 2) <br />Does not a ldress the issue of who will pay for changeover if it <br />is ever made, but puts City in poorer position to have current <br />developer or private parties share in major portion of cost. <br />* ISSU;.S - 1 ) At what level of traffic f low on County Road 6 <br />does :'!ty/County or private parties force connection to be made? <br />2 ) Who wi 1. 1 pay at that time? 3 ) Does City meet its obligation <br />to ie�idents by allowing this subdivision w4 -hout deciding the <br />issues now? <br />RATIONAJ.F FOR RECOMMENDATION 1• <br />The City has the responsibility ' its residents to provide for <br />safe development of the City. The Tai. J ..ewood access was allowed in <br />1978 given the topography and best use of the land, and met the bare <br />minimum safety requirements but not the accepted safety standard. Now <br />we have an opportunity to make the situation safer than it is. <br />Staff met with the developer and with Dave Zetterstrom and Wayne <br />Matsumoto of Hennepin County Highways on December 23, 1986. <br />Discussion revolved around relat.ive safety of 4 potential access <br />sites for the subdivision: <br />Required <br />Absolute <br />Existing <br />Safety <br />Applicable <br />Sight Distance <br />Minimum <br />Standard <br />_Access <br />Tanglewood <br />_ 600'+ <br />^550' <br />850' <br />Knoll Manor <br />8501+ <br />550' <br />850' <br />East Plat <br />850'+ <br />550' <br />850' <br />Underhill Driveway <br />H501+ <br />1,150, <br />850' <br />
