Councilman Paurus called attention to the follow:ing Memorandtan COUNI'Y ROAD N0. 15 � dated 8 December 1975 to Phembers of the Com�amity Advisory C�n- HE1�lEPIN C�JNTY mittee of Sub-Area 3 fro�n Craig Spencer af the Hennepin Cowrty CLASSIFICATI4N Public Works Depa.rtment: At the last CAC �eti.ng it will be recalled that the repressnt- ative from Orono desired to review the proposed functional classification of Cotmty Road 15 with the Orono City Council prior to printing the draft final report. The current (1975) fimctional classification is minor arterial and the proposed (2000) fluictional classification is minor arterial. It was also agreed that the projected traffic volumes for year 2000 would not warrant upgrading of County Road 15 to four lanes. The Orono City Coimcil has met and wants th,e road classified as a scenic parkway. "Scenic parkway" as a set of words to clescri- 7 be the fwiction of County Road 15 represents a proble�n because S the words describe a design type not the fimction. A simi.lar situatian would be to call the road "tw�o land roadway". It is possible for a minor arterial to be designed as a scenic park- way. Also discussed at our meeting was the possibility of f classifying the facility as a collector and the implicatians of such action. With this situation three alternatives exist: a Continue to functionally classify the road as a minor arterial. Under this case a special note could be add.ed to the map noting th,e Cowlty Road 15 is to be two la�e and � landscaped. Create a special classification called scenic parkway and classify the mad as such. F�lanctianally classify the road as a collector and change the jurisdiction to local control. Piease check off the pre£erred alternative and mail to me before December 12, 1975. � Paurus moved, Massengale seconded, that the City adclress a letter to the Ni�mbers of the Hennepin County Transportation Study Committee stating the Village concerns and reco�enda- tions re�ard.ing Co�ty Road No. 15 and that the County create a special classification called "Scenic Parkway" and classify �he r�oad as such.
