515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4535 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Scott R. Tangen, Public Works Director <br />DATE: May 28, 1997 <br />RE: Petrina Park Terrace Development <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISI BATOR <br />Joel R Hanson <br />I have been in contact with Gordie Howe regarding the islands at each end of this development. <br />Installing the islands will increase the difficulty of snowplowing, but not significantly. <br />Following are some of the items that need to be addressed regarding the islands before they are <br />approved: <br />♦ Visibility at the intersections. The islands must be designed and laid out in such a <br />manner that they do not create a hazardous condition. Paul Heuer is checking into <br />standards for line and sight distance and height requirements. <br />• Maintenance of the islands. Gordie and I have verbally agreed that they would work it <br />into their homeowners association so that all maintenance of the structures would be <br />taken care of by the development. <br />• Type of curb used. I believe we should use a barrier -type curb to minimize damage to the <br />islands from the snowplows. <br />SRT:kpv <br />Page 15 <br />
