9 o West of Hodgson Rd., there is to be one access onto CR J, located as far west as possible from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. This new access is to be constructed as right in/right out only. This will be a driveway into the development site, and there will be access easements on that site to provide access to, from, and through property to the north, leading to the full access on Hodgson. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. As supported by Resolution No. 19-42, Lyngblomsten acquired the 0.54 acre parcel to the west of their project (275 Ash Street) and has shifted Gateway Drive Blanchard Boulevard to the west approximately 50 ft to align with St. Albans Street to the south. Gateway Drive Blanchard Boulevard is now approximately 400 ft to the west of CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road). This provides greater access spacing along CR J (Ash Street) and reduces the previous road off-set between Gateway Drive Blanchard Boulevard and St. Albans Street. This intersection access has a westbound 13 ft wide right turn lane, a 12 ft wide thru lane and 10 ft striped median. Eastbound has a 12 ft wide left turn lane, a 12 ft wide thru lane, and 6 ft wide paved shoulder. The City of Shoreview has expressed concerns regarding cut through traffic south onto St. Albans Street. Currently, there are times when eastbound traffic on CR J turns right onto St. Albans St. to avoid backups at the main CR J & CSAH 49 intersection due to the lack of a dedicated southbound right turn lane onto Hodgson Road. The proposed SEH intersection improvements provide a 12 ft wide right turn lane, 12 ft wide thru lane and 12 ft wide left turn lane at the intersection. These changes will improve traffic circulation through the intersection and minimize the need for cut through traffic. The City of Shoreview is also requesting the intersection at CR J and St. Albans be a ¾ intersection. This would be supported by Lino Lakes and Anoka County staff. • The access points, right of way, and internal circulation routes noted above are to create a circulation network serving all properties in the study area rather than individual driveways onto arterial and collector roads that serve only individual properties. A public road will extend north-south through the development providing public access to the senior housing complex, restaurant and future commercial development. The road right-of-way is 60 ft wide and the paved road surface is 32 ft back to back. Sidewalk is proposed on both sides of the public road on the north end and on the east side toward the south end closest to the development. On-street parking will be allowed on both sides. A 26 foot wide private road will serve the cottage home neighborhood. Sidewalk is proposed on the south side and will connect to the public road sidewalks. Two parking areas with a total of 11 parking stalls are provided on the west and east ends of the private road for visitors. No parking will be allowed on the private road. The east end cul de sac was flipped to the south to provide more separation between some of the cottage homes. The southerly right in/right out access off of CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) will also be a commercial private road. The paved road surface has been reduced from 32 to 26 ft wide back to back. Both private roads will be owned and maintained by the developer.
