Planning File 523-69 - Minnesota Highway Department Layout No. 6 SP 6216-43 (Snelling Avenue between County Road C and Hamline Avenue) Presentation t - ~ Mr. Dahlgren explained that the Planning Commission requested at their last meeting that he present some alternate plans to those submitted by the Minnesota Highway Department for Snelling Avenue between County Road C and Hamline Avenue. Those plans submitted by the Minnesota Highway Department indicate an interchange at County Road C and Hamline Avenue with an overpass at Lydia Avenue. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that he has attempted to provide a reasonable access to the commercial property, mainly on the west side of Snelling Avenue and at the same time minimi z;e the traffic on residential street. He further stated that from the ideas from the State Highway Department, and the ideas of the Village of Roseville, a conunon solution will have to be worked out wi th regard to the upgrading of Snelling Avenue. At this point Mr. Dahlgren stated that he had reviewed three possible alternate plans to the upgrading of Snelling Avenue. Plans No. 1 would provide on and off ramps going north and south on Snelling Avenue near Lydia Avenue. Plan No. 2 would provide three folded diamonds on Snelling Avenue between County Road C and Hamline Avenue. These folded diamonds would be on the north side of County Road C, on the north side of Lydia, and on the north side of Hamline Avenue. Plan No. 3 - County Road C-2 would go across Snelling Avenue with button- hook designs near Lydia Avenue on both sides of Snelling, After the completion of a brief discussion on the pros and cons of these three plans, the meeting was opened up to general discussion. Discussion Mr. Walter C. Peters, 3011 Shorewood Lane. How does the traffic go east on Lydia and north on Snelling under Plan #3? Mr. Jud C. Zandstra, 1541 Lydia. ~fuich residential property will be taken under these three alternate plans? Mr. Dean A. Turner, 1759 Lydia. The reduction of traffic on Lydia Avenue should be of prime importance since it is primarily a residential street. Mr. Gordon N. Hanson, 1475 Centennial Drive. It appears that all of these plans including that from the Highway Department are strictly for the convenience of the Paul Bunyan Motel. He also indicated that he felt the traffic was too close to th, Ralph Reeder School. Mr. Marvin Sellers, 1784 Millwood. Plan #3 which provides for an overpass on C-2 would cause an increase in truck traffic in the area. Also, the future plans of County Road C-2 west of Snelling should be taken into consideration with this plan. Mr. Ronald C. Ness, 1476 Centennial Drive, representing the Ralph Reeder P.T.A. favors the interchange at County Road C and the interchange at Hamline Avenue. He stressed that there are over three hundred children who cross C-2 going to the Ralph Reeder School.
