• Mounds View Planning Commission March 18, 1998 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> New information brought to the Commission and public's attention was presented as <br /> follows: Ramsey County will require that the developer improve the intersection of <br /> County Road I and Highway 10 by constructing a right-turn lane on westbound County <br /> Road I onto Highway 10. This construction, it is believed, will prevent stacking of <br /> vehicles beyond the proposed Walgreen's access on County Road I. <br /> MnDOT has stated it will not permit the currently proposed right-in right-out access onto <br /> Highway 10 due to the following: <br /> 1. Its close proximity to the intersection of the highway and County Road I. <br /> 2. The property has an alternative means of access to the property via County Road I. <br /> Staff has enlisted the advice of Mounds View Public Works Director,Mike Ulrich,to <br /> assess the possibility of adding some type of traffic calming measures to Greenwood Drive. <br /> This step could possibly reduce or slow down traffic passing through the neighborhood. <br /> Associate Ericson told the Commission the City Attorney has advised staff that <br /> Comprehensive Plan amendments require a public hearing to be held not only with the <br /> City Council but also with the Planning Commission. Therefore, no action can be taken <br /> • <br /> on Resolution 536-98 until after the Public Hearing that is scheduled for April 1, 1998, <br /> 7:00 p.m., at the City Hall. <br /> Chair Peterson turned the floor over to TOLD Development for its presentation. <br /> Bob Cunningham, representative for TOLD Development, addressed the Commission as <br /> follows: The right-turn on County Road I, as proposed by MnDOT, is acceptable with the <br /> developer and they will fund this construction. <br /> TOLD is of the opinion that the issue of the right-in right-out access is being passed <br /> around from person to person at MnDOT. At first MnDOT indicated that the right-in <br /> right-out access scenario would be acceptable. At a later date, with a different person from <br /> MnDOT reviewing the plan, it was decided the access scenario would not be acceptable. <br /> Currently the plan is in the hands of Michael Christiansen, who has indicated the City of <br /> Mounds View has the right to grant the development access to Highway 10 over the <br /> objection of MnDOT staff. If the City disregards MnDOT's recommendations, it is up to <br /> MnDOT's staff to object to this decision. This is important for two reasons: <br /> 1. Access to the Walgreen store. <br /> 2. To keep as much traffic off of County Road I as possible. <br /> 110 <br />
