To: Jon Sevald <ion.sevaldl@moundsviewmn.org> Subject: RE: Questions aon Edgewood Middle School public hearing notice Hi Jon, Thank you for the reply. We are EXTREMELY Disappointed that the notice DID NOT indicate the new Woodale driveway as proposed. This is huge over sight and should require the public to be notified of such a change. Is the city going to resend a new notice of this proposed change as it is a major change to the area. PLEASE — make our reply voiced at the public hearing as we are NOT in favor of this driveway to Woodale. If there is a mandatory reason to have a driveway here it should be at a 4 way stop on Woodale and Greenfield as the traffic pattern is already fast and high volume. This type of change is NOT a good one as the majority of the parking lot will be exiting on this exit to get to Mounds View Blvd. and is already speeding and creating excessive noise and traffic. Not to mention that pedestrians already use the south side of Woodale to walk on creating even more potential for accidents. Again NO NOTICE of this new driveway to Woodale is NOT the way a proposed building variance notice should be approved. Everyone I spoke with is NOT in favor of this exit to Woodale and has NEVER heard of a notice. Thanks for your reply and I hope this driveway is shot down as it creates a real stress for the neighborhood and makes quality of life in the area very poor. Mounds View has been making changes that are NOT residential friendly and should STOP. Unless plans to buyout the neighborhood are in works Mounds View has driven quality of life off the edge and this should stop.

It will be shared with the Planning Commission. First; There will be a sidewalk along the south driveway, between Co Rd H and the school building. The sidewalk will dead-end at Co Rd H, lining up with the trail entrance into Long Lake Regional Park. The County has reviewed, and determined (today) that only one crosswalk is warranted (at this point or at Edgewood Dr intersection). That said, there's an obvious safety concern of kids crossing Co Rd H at this point without a crosswalk.
