Dan Helbling <br /> April 28,2011 <br /> Page 2 <br /> ur <br /> On April 261 did a field review to make contact with both you and Charles Peterson,your <br /> neighbor to the north whose land shares the highway access. I met with Mr. Peterson and <br /> explained Mn/DOT's position to him. He stated he uses the entrance occasionally but <br /> would not object to its removal. His house access is from Hurtig Road, and even if he <br /> someday does split off some highway frontage land for commercial development he has <br /> legal access to this frontage via an easement from the entrance at Tasty Pizza North. <br /> You said Troy and Jenny Cline are the owners of Lot 1 and this entrance is their only <br /> convenient highway access at this time. Lot 1 is part of the plat and Mn/DOT's position is <br /> that you were aware of the entrance removal requirement and there has been sufficient <br /> time by now to construct alternate access to Hurtig Road for Lot 1. The Clines should've <br /> been made aware of the entrance closure possibility by you when they purchased Lot 1. <br /> That said, Mn/DOT will delay the entrance removal for a couple weeks while we sort out the <br /> details and City position. We will also verify with the Clines what they were told about this <br /> access and potential impacts to them like school bus use and access options thru the RV <br /> Park road system if the entrance is removed. It is not our intention to create hardships for <br /> anybody, but our priority is highway safety and we feel this is an important item that was <br /> identified years ago as a beneficial safety improvement. <br /> Please send me—by May 6-the latest copies of the final approved/recorded plat and any <br /> other information you have to support your request to leave this entrance open. It's my <br /> understanding that Dawn Bittner will be bringing the issue up with the Planning Commission <br /> ASAP, and then we'll talk and get this resolved. <br /> Thank you for your cooperation and immediate attention to this matter. <br /> Sincerelyh <br /> Ken Larson <br /> Maintenance Specialist <br /> Attachments: Correspondence—Plat Sheets- Construction Plan Sheet—Commission Minutes <br /> Cc: Gary Dirlam —Jim Hallgren — Paul Konickson —Oawn,Bittner, City of Pe not Lake-Chuck <br /> Marohn, Community Growth—Charles Peterson—Troy Cline <br />
