-2- ' While we recognize that this results in a rather wide road corridor for Principle Arterials and Minor Arterials A Routes, please bear in mind that these routes must carry significant portions of the traffic in Anoka County and access points to these routes must be limited so that the routes can function in the capacity of moving traffic. Another important factor in the Function of Roadways is the number of intersecting streets. Long range plahning should be done to limit the number of intersections to the spacing shown on the attached policy. For Collector Routes and below, we are requesting 50 feet of right-of-way from centerline in urban areas and 60 feet of fight-of-way from centerline in rural areas. In the case of both Minor Arterial B's as well as Collectors and below, the building setbacks as requked by local ordinances should be measured from the right-of-way line as proposed herein. Also for your information and to give you a pictorial view of what these needs would look like, drawings for Principle Arterials and Mhaor Arterial A's, Minor Arterial B's, Urban Collectors, and Rural Collectors are attached. 'Again, we request your assistance in m~intaining a highway system which can serve the needs of your residents as well as the residents of Anoka County and those who wish to visit Anoka County to conduct business or for other purposes. Because of.our lack of state highways, the back bone of the Transportation. System in Anoka County is the Anoka County t-l_ighway System and we need your assistance in maintaining .a system that can work for all Of us. Thank you in advance foryour consideration of this matter and we look forward to continuing a relationship .with you that results in a transportation system which serves the needs of Anoka County. dmh/2ROW I I i I I I I I I I I I I l I I I I
