First, as previously mentioned, the plat contemplates the vacation of <br />Fernwood Avenue as a city street.

The following map <br />highlights adjacent property owners impacted by the vacation ofFemwood Avenue: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />--"-- <br /> <br />"""".1 <br /> <br />. <br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />- l~ <br />~l~lliH&lw.~lf'mt' _"fllTlr.H~ <br /> <br />~" <br /> <br />.J_ <br /> <br />.........~ <br />, <br />... i <br /> <br />..tr_;'-j <br /> <br />To provide alternative access to the impacted properties to the north, the proposed <br />plat dedicates the existing private access referred to on the plat as Cummings Park <br />Drive <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of "Cummings Park <br />Drive" and Lexington Avenue at Guidant's expense. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />To accommodate enhanced circulation for Guidant and adjacent property owners, <br />the preliminary results of the traffic study indicated that a signalized intersection <br />at Lexington Avenue would be appropriate. Based on discussions with Guidaut, <br />they are amenable to this. This would be constructed at Guidant's expense, and <br />ultimately approved by Ramsey County. <br />
