The following comments are offered far <br /> your consideration: <br /> • Access: <br /> Although the proposed access points noted as Outlots "A" and "B" do not meet County Access <br /> Spacing Guidelines of'/4 mile on Arterial Roadways, they are deemed acceptable due to existing <br /> constraints. As we discussed on-site, the existing driveway at 3845 North Shore Drive must be <br /> reoriented as a shared driveway onto Outlot"B". The existing driveway on Shadywood Road <br /> (CSAH 51)may remain. <br /> • Right of Way: <br /> The Committee also recommended asking the City to require dedicating an additional 7 feet of <br /> right of way, for a total of 40 feet, along North Shore Drive, County State Aid Highway (CSAH) <br /> 19. This action would help accommodate an eastbound right turn lane from North Shore onto <br /> Shadywood. Although not planned at this time, this enhancement would increase motorists' safety <br /> and roadway efficiency and would likely occur in the near future. <br /> • Trail F.asement <br /> There also has been some discussion between City and County staffs of some trail provision in the <br /> area. If the City foresees a trail here, an additional trail easement may be appropriate. <br /> Thanlcs for the timely inquiry and please call me at 763-745-7643 with further questions or discussion. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David K. terstrom <br /> Entrance Permit Coordinator <br /> DKZ:dw <br /> CC: Mike Gaffron,City of Orono <br /> Plat Review Committee— Byers/Drager/Holtz/Johnson/Lemke/Lindgren/Wiebe <br /> An Equa!Opportunity Employer Recycled Paper <br />
