John Slack, Perkins + Will May 2, 2016 <br />Land O’Lakes Expansion TS Update Page 20 <br /> <br /> <br />Access <br />The recommended access spacing along minor arterial roadways such as County Road F and <br />Lexington Avenue in the MnDOT Access Management Manual is shown in Table 7. <br />Table 7 MnDOT Recommended Access Spacing – Minor Arterial <br />Area Primary Full-Movement <br />Intersection <br />Secondary <br />Intersection <br />Signal <br />Spacing <br />Urban/Urbanizing 1/4 Mile 1/8 Mile 1/4 Mile <br />As proposed, the Central Access located opposite Innovation Way is approximately one-quarter mile <br />to signalized intersections in both directions along County Road F (i.e. at Hamline Avenue and <br />Lexington Avenue). Therefore, a traffic signal would be appropriate at this intersection from an access <br />and signal spacing perspective. Since the proposed West Access and East Access are located less than <br />one-quarter mile from adjacent full-movement intersections along County Road F, these site accesses <br />would be considered secondary intersections. Similarly, the South Access is located less than one- <br />quarter mile from adjacent full-movement intersections along Lexington Avenue, and would also be <br />considered a secondary intersection. Restricting movements at these secondary intersections may <br />produce safety and operational benefits. Therefore, the following access restrictions are recommended <br />for consideration: <br />County Road F/West Access Intersection <br />• Construct a right-in/right-out access intersection. Similarly, the opposing driveway would also <br />function as a right-in/right-out intersection. <br />County Road F/East Access Intersection <br />• Construct a three-quarter access intersection to prohibit northbound left-turn maneuvers. <br />Lexington Avenue/South Access Intersection <br />• Construct a three-quarter access intersection to prohibit eastbound left-turn maneuvers. This <br />intersection layout would be expected to function well with the planned three-quarter access <br />intersection at Lexington Avenue/Gramsie Road. <br />Further discussions should occur between the City of Arden Hills, Ramsey County, and local <br />businesses regarding future access along County Road F. <br />Circulation <br />The movement of general passenger vehicles onsite is not expected to be an issue. However, access <br />to loading docks on the east side of the existing structure could be difficult for heavy trucks <br />approaching Land O’Lakes on westbound County Road F with the proposed right-in/right-out access. <br />Therefore, as noted previously, implementing a three-quarter access at the County Road F/ <br />East Access intersection to allow more direct heavy truck access is recommended.
