According to the manual, "On undivided highways, <br /> high-volume(Type 3) driveways and public street connections on opposite <br /> sides of the a highway should be aligned with one another to the extent <br /> practicable, or they should be offset to minimize overlapping left turns and <br /> other maneuvers that could result in safety or operational problems."' <br /> o A Type 3 driveway is a driveway designed to provide access to a large <br /> development area encompassing multiple properties or structures served <br /> by a clearly-defined system of internal streets. <br /> o The access driveway proposed for this apartment use does not measure <br /> up to the scale of a Type 3 driveway. This would be a minor driveway. <br /> o It is advisable to provide an offset driveway across from the Baywind <br /> Christian Church driveway on the west side of Shadywood Road, as <br /> illustrated below. Overlapping driveways with the church should be <br /> avoided, due to back-to-back left-turn lanes. <br /> Figure 1 —Overlapping Driveways <br /> CHURCH NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH <br /> � 1 J <br /> FRESHWATER FRESHWATER FRESHWATER <br /> CONDOS CONDOS CONDOS <br /> Aligned Offset Overlapping <br /> (Source: MnDOT Access Management Manual,2008,and Westwood Professional Services,2017) <br /> Section 3.4.5.,Offset Driveways and Streets,MnDOT Access Management Manual,Minnesota <br /> Department of Transportation, Saint Paul,MN,January 2,2008,p.,35. <br />
