CASH NUMBER: 1363 -8 <br />APPLICANT: Harry Schroeder Page 2 <br />items are as follows: <br />Access and Traffic <br />a. The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) at the time of the mo s t <br />recent count in 1979 was 9,150 vehicles. This represents <br />the average number of vehicles traveling in both directions <br />in a 24 hour period, This number is approximate to ADT <br />counts on other typical county reads within the City. More <br />heavily traveled county roads are in the vicinity of 16,000 <br />The county roads and major local thoroughfares in the <br />Metropolitan Area commonly operate at 12,000 vehicles on an <br />average daily basis, <br />b. Hamline Avenue is a mid- section line county road. When the <br />land was initially opened for settlement in the-first half <br />of the 19th Century, the government (state, county, or <br />township) reserved the right to construct roadways on the <br />section lines and mid - section lines for the purpose of <br />providing public access to the individual homesteads. Each <br />homesteader, as you will recall, if he properly homesteaded <br />the property under the Homestead Act, received a. patent <br />(the first deed from the government to the homesteader if <br />he occupled and improved the land over a period of five <br />years). Thus, each 160 acre tract measuring one -half mile <br />by one -half mile was bounded by section lines which Is the <br />boundary of a one square mile tract (or mid -- section lines). <br />On these lines, the government reserved the right to the use <br />of a two rod strip (33 feet) on either side of the lime for <br />roadway purposes. This is how Hamline Avenue came into being. <br />This too, is the basis for the Ramsey County roadway systems <br />with county Road A. A-2, H, B -2, etc. all being placed on <br />section lines or mid - section lines at half mile intervals. <br />Likewise, north -south routes are located on such a one -half <br />mile grid pattern at locations such as Cleveland, Fairview, <br />Snelling, Hamline, Lexington, victoria, Dale Street, western, <br />and Rice Street. <br />c . As-the township developed, smaller parcels of land were sold <br />off with frontage on these 66 foot wide rights-of-way. <br />Developing residential lots on such roadways had the advantage <br />of not having to develop and pay for minor streets within the <br />160 acre tracts. Thus, such homeowners had the advantage of <br />"free" frontage where the value of the lot did not have to <br />include the development costs of the roadway itself. The <br />disadvantage to this method of development was obviously that <br />
