Centervilie, MN 55038 <br /> <br />Re: Proposed entrance drive <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Larson: <br /> <br />I have been asked to comment on the proposal of St. Genevieve Parish to construct an <br />entrance drive from Heritage Street. The issue as I understand it is whether the City <br />should grant a variance to permit the entrance drive to line up exactly with Goifon Road <br />or require a property line setback that would result in the two sides of the intersection not <br />to line up. <br /> <br />It is not my place to judge a variance request, but I can say that most road authorities will <br />not only encourage, but in fact require, that intersections with roadways line up with <br />drives across the street. This creates a better flow of traffic and reduces the number of <br />intersecting points on the roadway. Anything that can be done to reduce conflicts and <br />confusion for drivers will serve to reduce the number of vehicle accidents, thus ma1cing <br />for a safer roadway. <br /> <br />Thank you for soliciting my comments. Good luck in your deliberations. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br />~~ <br /> <br />Robert A Makela <br />Chief of Police <br />
