The Metropolitan Council did note in the letter that the City has now reached the 3.0 units per density level. Gaffron indicated the Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be brought forward as a separate resolution at a future meeting. Also before the Council tonight is a resolution for preliminary plat approval. Gaffron noted the applicants have had Staff's memo since last Friday and that he did mention to them toward the middle of last week that Staff has had some discussions regarding the easterly access point with Hennepin County. Initially the applicants proposed two access points, which Hennepin County indicated they were not in favor of. As a result, the applicants then proposed either a T -intersection or a cul-de-sac. Gaffron indicated the T -intersection is the one that the Fire Department preferred, but in discussions with the City Engineer, City Attorney and Staff, the potentials for that T -intersection were reviewed in relation to how it would function for regular use. Gaffron stated the problem with having a T -intersection is the difficulty for delivery trucks that are going to be coming to the neighborhood on a regular basis to maneuver. Consequently, the recommendation of Staff is that it should be a cul-de-sac. Page 4 of 8
