CASE NUMBER: 1363-82 APPLICANT: Harry Schroeder pag e 4 Council meeting whether or not the location of these two driveways Was similar to that of the two driveways further south on Hamline Avenue serving the Roseville Professional Building. These two driveways are go feet apart as measured curb- to-curb on the air photos, A better comparison i.s that of the distance between the southerly most driveway serving the Roseville Professional building to the next public street entering from the west at sanders. This distance is 210 feet. We suggest that the distance between the two access drives as proposed are reasonable and allow adequate space for each driveway to function at a reasonable standard comparable with the rest of Hamline Avenue without making either of them one -war ingress or egress, . f. In the long run, if traffic builds up to an extreme degree on Hamline Avenue, it is possible and likely and median strips will be constructed in portions of the roadway. Under these conditions, such a median strip between the intersection with Christy Circle and Rose Place. This would automatically require right-turn-In and right-turn-out movement only on the northerly most access road to the site; The purpose of such a median stip is, of course, not only to separate the on- coming traffic, but--creates safer (but less convenient) egress from driveways opposite such median strips. In any case, the owner of 25$8 Hamline should consider developing a back - around space on his driveway so that he could enter Hamline Avenue moving foreward. It appears that there is adequate space to accomplish this on the property and is a good idea for any such driveway fronting on a mal or travel street. Landscaping a. We had one of our six landscape architects review the proposed landscape plan very carefully. The general conclusion is that the plan is well done and contains a very good variety of species, which in most cases are well placed. b. A reduced copy of the current plan is not attached but will be available in large scale form at the Planning Commission and Council meeting. A ground cover known as Fleece Flower is proposers between the two entrances (opposite Fiaml ine Avenue) and along the crest line. This species will work well for this purpose, but has to be carefully controlled because of its aggressive nature, In other words, unless properly controlled it will overpower contiguous plant material.
