FAR • LC7 <br />To: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director <br />Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: January 5, 1989 <br />Subject: Future Development of Area Between Concordia Street and North <br />Shore Drive <br />David Eiss, who is building a house on the former Howard Johnson <br />property at 1635 Concordia Street, has requested an access approval for a <br />driveway and apparently for future subdivision purposes, on to North Shore <br />Drive. He has purchased the Bergquist Tile Plant property just west of <br />3895 North Shore Drive, which provides a connection from his existing <br />property to North Shore Drive. Since the City approved his site plan for <br />the current house construction with driveway access to Concordia Street, <br />and since that is a legal access, the County intends to deny his driveway <br />access permit for North Shore Drive at this time. <br />Coincidentiv, I recently received a phone message from the owner of a <br />2.5 acre parcel directly east of the Eiss property, addressed as 1635 <br />Shadywood Road, with questions about subdivision. Although, I am 6till <br />playing phone tag with that caller, I am anticipating that they wish to <br />consider a subdivision. In order to adequately address the subdivision <br />concerns for these uniquely situated properties, I have done a preliminary <br />sketch of the area in order to determine how roads would generally be laid <br />out in order to serve these properties without creating access safety <br />problems. <br />Dave Ze"_erstrom from Hennepin County Department of Transportation has <br />verified that the North Shore Drive access site proposed by Eiss is a <br />relatively good location if the City wished to make Concordia Street a <br />through road. <br />This sketch is merely conceptual in nature for discussion purposes, <br />and has not been seen by the property owners involved. Perhaps we should <br />discuss this as a group and define a formal policy regarding where we would <br />like to see roads and accesses for this area. <br />
