Re: Access to CSAH 146
Maureen:
As we discussed, driveway access is assured to the vacant parcel at 255
South Brown Road (CSAH 146) . Access to any County State Aid Highway
(CSAH) cannot be denied unless the right of access has been purchased or
alternate access, such as a city street or private road, is available.
We do try to limit ,county road access in the interest of safety and
efficiency, and in this case would strongly encourage eliminating the
existing driveway at 265 due to the limited sight distance, and having a
shared entrance with 255. These driveways would split at the common
property corner so no encroachment would occur, therefore relieving any
easement requirement.
However, since the properties are already split, only the City of Orono
can make this requirement; Hennepin County can only recommend.
Please call with any further questions.
Sincerely,
�

Re: CSAH 146 Access
Gary:
As we discussed, the proposed 50-foot-square access easement at the
southeast corner of Lot 1, Block 1, Byfield, is acceptable to Hennepin
County. This location should meet the City of Orono requirement so no
further municipal action would be required, and will provide some
flexibility in locating the shared driveway to minimize the aesthetic
impact on-site.
As these proceedings progress, keep in mind that the entrance permit for
work within the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 146 right-of-way must be
processed prior to construction. When application is made, the technical
details can be resolved.
Please call with any questions.

Dear Ms . Bellows :
Per Council's direction, I have met with you on site in
order to determine a need for additional improvements to the
existing access for the purpose of increasing or improving the
level of safety in the use of your access drive.
As I advised at the site, additional filling or raising of
the existing drive would not be practical because of the
limitations in space, but found that the existing vegetation had
been trimmed at the access to accommodate the required sighting
at 40 MPH speed.
Please contact my office if you have any further questions
concerning this matter.
Sincerely,
�/J ��-�-�Gc,t c��c�-���7���
