(GTI) requested a private driveway access onto TH 3 at the south property line of their theater parcel. The parcel is located approximately 2200 feet south of the intersection of Dakota County road 42 on the west side of Iiighway 3 in section 32 in Rosemount NIlV. The request was denied by MnDOT staff (letters attached) . The property line would split the driveway providing access to two lots. One lot is currently developed with an eight screen movie �' theater developed by the requesting party GTI. The lot to the south of the line is undeveloped with no pending plan for improvement at this time. The undeveloped lot is currently zoned for office/warehouse. The design of the access would be similar to that provided to City Limits Bowling Alley and Lounge by the Department of Transportation with the reconstruction of Highway 3 in 1991. The location of the requested driveway would be directly to the west adjacent to the south bound lane with centerline of the driveways aligned. The City does support the request for a private access. Conditioned upon the facts that there is no connection of the requested access to the city streets to the west of these sites providing a through connection; and that this private access does not necessitate the closing of existing public street access to TH 3 nor restrict the ability to provide an additional public connection to the highway between county road 42 and 160th street if needed sometime in the future. The city would consider the requesting a reduced speed limit along this portion of the highway if necessary to preserve the safety of the highway. The access is not one that would be used during peak traffic volumes thus eliminating conflicts with the heaviest traffic flows. The requesting party would design the connection with street lighting to illuminate the intersection if necessary. . . � a�nndanrecvckdwv�r . conbining 10:; poslconsumrt maMu:. �n Hnu C I TY O F RO S E M O U N T 28�5—145th Sueet West P.O.Box 510 Rosemount,MN Everything's Coming Cip Rosemountl! _ s5oee-os�o Phone:612-423-4411 Fax:612-423-5203 IF there are other design requirements to be considered to assure traffic the City of Rosemount would support the installation of those improvements by the requesting party.

We have the _ following comments. � • As we have stated in previous correspondence there should be one.point of access for each side of TH 3 in this area. They may be at the same location or separated as two T intersections. The access or accesses should serve all land access nesds in the area between CSAH 42 and IbOth Street. MnIDOT does intend to deny additional access to TFi 3 as praposed by the Carrousei Plaza development for safety and operational reasons. It is our position that alternative access avaiiable to the site from CSAH 42 and TH 3 via Carrousel Way and from Chippendale Avenue should serve the property. � • We request that access control be dedicated to Mn/DOT where the pIat abuts TfI 3 right of way. - • A Mn/DOT drainage permit will be required. Wachter pond, south of the site, is the low point of TH 3 and is a dead-end pond. The storm sewer system has limited capacity to accept additional water. Run-off from the site must not be allowed to inundate the pond and the highway. The site drainage system must prevent such an event. Development of Outlot A should also be considered when assessing the effects of the current proposal: Deta.iled drainage computations must be submitted with an An Equu!

Therefore, it seems appropriate ;��;.� :,•°- that the question of access locations be resolved by a locai decision made within the context of .�y: the regional system: It is our intent to provide guidance that will enable the Rosemount �`-�-� community to make an access location decision that Mn/DOT can support and approve. � { . .3 We understand the need for access to Trunk Highway 3 especially in light of CSAH 42's .:. .� '� � classification as a principal arterial. To maintain safety and an appropriate levet of service on � ' ' CSAH 42, it is necessary to orient access for developments in the area to Chippendale and �:�.:..i -._:.; Biscayne Avenues, TH 3 and 160th Street.. These roads must be the focus of access for the ,'�� area. Although TH 3 is classified as a minor arterial, its primary functional purFose is mobility. � . . ., .. 3 .�:.;-� To maintain mobility, access must be limited. Consequently choices made now must , accommodate not only existing and proposed land uses, but all future uses as well. Additional . ; direct access to TH.3 must be prevented. TH 3's subordinate functional role, to provide Iand ,: i access, is complicated by a difficult geometric design that attempts to deal with topography and ��: ; proximity to the ra.ilroad tracks. Platting and subdivision of property should be arranged so that � � access to the highway may be gained at one or two key intersections. We cannot allow the _� 1 safety and function of the highway to become degraded by multiple accesses, public o*private. . , , . . a � � �:.4 'a: � ',:�,� An Equa!
