R-75-15 <br />RESOLUTION <br />CITY OF LAKE ELMO <br />WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />A RESOLUTION REQUESTING NO ACCESS BE ALLOWED WITHIN <br />1000 FEET OF I-694/TENTH AVENUE NORTH INTERCHANGE <br />WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo has strict design standards applicable to <br />interchange ramps limiting access to 1,000 feet, <br />WHEREAS, K-Mart has petitioned the City of Oakdale for a permit to create <br />an access on Tenth Avenue North 600 feet from the Tenth Avenue North/I-694 inter- <br />change ramp, <br />WHEREAS, traffic volumes at the present time may not create a conflict in <br />use based on the access sought by K-Mart, but the City Council has determined <br />that there would most certainly be conflict in use in the future because of <br />proposed developments by Dayton -Hudson Properties and others, <br />WHEREAS, the present interchange at I-694 and Tenth Avenue North ramp is <br />220 feet from the freeway south bound lane which does not meet present standards <br />of 300 feet thus reducing the traffic storage presently considered minimal for <br />interchange design standards, <br />WHEREAS, the proposed design of Hadley Avenue as a Minnesota State Aid <br />thoroughfare would provide a service lane and controlled access for the K--Mart <br />site thus providing a better means of ingress and egress, <br />WHEREAS, Tenth Avenue North was approved by the City of Oakdale and has <br />been completed according to a design that did not contemplate the type of access <br />requested by K-Mart. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lake <br />Elmo hereby requests that all government agencies concerned maintain the design <br />standards at 1,000 feet for any access permitted at the said interchange. <br />Adopted by the City Council this 6th day of May, 1975. <br />Maynar L. Eder, Mayor <br />Attest: <br />I <br />Donald Mehsz omen, Clerk <br />
