This request had also been approved by the Planning Commission, and the staff had nothing further to add. MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) that the Council approve the minor subdivision request of David Jahnke located at 8408 Eastwood Road to create two lots: 1) 127 ft. wide on Eastwood by 473 feet deep and 117.5 ft. wide on Sunnyside; 2) 234 ft. x 85 ft. Mayor Johnson stated that another minor subdivision request for Robert Hanson, 8408 Groveland, had been inadvertently left from the agenda and asked that it be heard, creating two lots, each 80 ft. wide x 211.6 ft. long, with 5 foot easements along both rear lot lines. MSP (Johnson- Baumgartner) that the Council approve the minor subdivision request of Robert Hanson, 8408 Groveland, to create two lots, each 80 ft. x 211.6 ft. with 5 foot easements along both rear lot lines. Mayor Johnson further stated that it should be noted in the minutes that the lot split did receive the action of the Planning Commission but was erroneously left off their minutes. It has received the action of the Planning Commission. Administrator Achen stated that the City of Mounds View had received a letter from Ramsey County in which they took traffic counts at Hillview and Long Lake Roads which indicated volume not sufficient for a four -way stop. They did indicate, however, that the State will probably recommend reducing the Long Lake Road speed limit to 30 mph. Councilman Baumgartner said that he had received several phone calls from people in that area saying that they thought it was a good idea to have the four -way stop as well as to reduce the speed limit. The Park and Recreation Director has also received a number of calls to this effect. Perhaps we could get them to reconsider this under the circumstances where children will be crossing Long Lake Road to get to the park. Councilman Hodges agreed with Councilman Baumgartner that the County should be consulted again. Councilman Shelquist asked if we could get permission to put a four -way stop sign up ourselves and Administrator Achen answered that it was a question of their philosophy of traffic management and they did not feel that it was warranted. If the Council still felt that there was a need, perhaps painted crosswalks could be used. MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) that we direct Administrator Achen to write a letter to Ramsey County asking them to reconsider their decision on the four -way stop sign at Hillview Road and Long Lake Road in light of the playground (tot lot) which is directly adjacent to the corner. 5 ayes 5 ayes 5 ayes
