One directly across from the entrance to <br /> Amoco and four additional access points located further south • <br /> along Silver Lake Road. The County has reviewed the <br /> development plans and the traffic study prepared for this <br /> development . The County would like to make the following <br /> comments regarding the proposed access onto Silver Lake Road. <br /> 1 . The south portion of the development (proposed senior • <br /> housing) shows three access points onto Silver Lake Road. <br /> One of these access points should be eliminated. Two <br /> access points will be adequate to serve this portion of <br /> the project . This will allow the underground parking <br /> access to combine with the main entrance to the housing <br /> complex. <br /> 2 . The traffic study concludes that the intersection of TH 10 <br /> and Silver lake Road will pot be negatively impacted by <br /> the proposed development . Ramsey County concurs with this <br /> conclusion. TH 10 and Silver Lake Road should remain at an <br /> acceptable level of service . The majority of trips to this <br /> site should be trips already located on these two <br /> roadways . <br /> 3 . The proposed location of the access to the gas station <br /> portion of the development is 170 feet south of TH 10, <br /> directly across from the entrance to the Amoco Station. <br /> During the pm peak hour vehicles will stack south of TH 10 <br /> beyond this access . The location of this access point0 <br /> should not present significant operational problems to <br /> Silver Lake Road. However; the owner needs to understand <br /> that backup past this driveway will be considered an <br /> acceptable occurrence in the pm peak hour. <br /> Minnesota's First Home 8nie County <br />
