Mayor Johnson presented the request of David Jahnke for a minor
subdivision request at 8408 Eastwood Road, creating 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. 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.
