review of Comprehensive Plan is being done.
1-94 Frontage Roads:
Possibilities of interchanges and frontage roads reviewed.
Motion by Novak, seconded by Moris — recommendation to Council that the
proposed frontage roads and interchanges are not acceptable because of the
following reasons:
1. Inconsistent with Lake Elmo road plan which has been in existence
more than 15 years.
2. Poor utilization of land.
3. This plan will cause Lake Elmo taxpayers undue expense to build
and maintain another secondary road.
4. Attached frontage roads are a waste of land, energy, money
e.g. Bloomington.
5. Frontage roads immediately attached to freeway have a cumbersone
curved roadbed at every intersection with a street crossing the
freeway.
6. Access to Guardian Angels Church will be a severe traffic problem
with only one access.
7. Discontinued frontage road encumber emergency service, ie, police
and fire protection.
8. Attached frontage roads cause excessive utility costs
Motion passed 8 — 0.
County Road 13: PZC would like engineering report.
Pine Springs: Development proposed Northeast of Long Lake. Lake Elmo's concern
with this development would be an excess runnoff which would affect the
Tri—Lakes area.
