Page 2
(1) More than eighty percent of the corner lots in this section of the City have only
one curb cut, and,
(2) There are no physical obstructions, such as a bend in the road, trees, bushes or
shrubs, that would restrict visibility to and from the property, and,
(3) There is ample room on the property to have a turn-around, or "T" extension to
the main drive to enable vehicles to exit the property in forward motion rather than
III reverse.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission
acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals denies the variance to allow two curb cuts at
8111 Eastwood Road and directs the property owner to remove the access to Sherwood Road in
accordance with the letter sent to the property owner dated 7/28/98.
Adopted this 16th day of September, 1998.
