While the parcel does not have frontage on CSAH 6, it <br /> does front the City of Orono platted road "Rolling Road"on the eastern edge of the parcel. The <br /> City of Orono Planning & Zoning Department has indicated that they would permit a driveway <br /> access from the parcel onto the platted "Rolling Road" with a driveway to be constructed along <br /> the platted road northerly to a connection with CSAH 6. <br /> Based on our review of this proposed access, Hennepin County has determined that it wiil not <br /> permit an access point to CSAH 6 at the platted "Rolling Road" intersection. This conclusion <br /> was made for several reasons including: proximity to the signalized intersection at the <br /> southwestern ramp of Highway l2, speed of traffic, curvature of road, sight and stopping sight <br /> distance concerns for turning vehicles, the lack of turn lanes or bypass lanes on CSAH 6 and the <br /> grade differential between the platted"Rolling Road"and CSAH 6. <br /> Please continue to direct future correspondence on this matter to Eric Drager at <br /> eric.dra e�r(�a.hennepin.us or 612-348-4182. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> a.�✓u-d 1�, <br /> James N.
