way would be donated free of charge. I would emphasize that property acquired for this project must be informed that they are legally eligible for compensation. The following are negative impacts associated with maligning the roadway down the MSA Stre~L 1) The considerable shorter mm radius would reduce the design speed of the roadway from 40 mph to 30 mph. The maximum amount of super elevation would be needed to meet the 30 mph design limits. 2) The alignment of the existing din roadway would need to be modified by pushing the roadway further to the east to avoid a small wetland and would result in more than a 60° turn. 3) The alignment would move the intersection, with the extension of Tungsten Street N,W., 400 to 500 feet further to the north, which would require traffic to "backtrack" twice this distance to get to the desired location, the south end of Sunfish lake. This extra travel distance will discourage a considerable number of trips, particularly those from the 147th Lane N.W., from using the MSA street and opt for traveling to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. through Hunter's Hill. 4) Locating the alignment onto the existing dirt roadway will result in two direct accesses onto the collector sn'eet. In addition, future development on the west side of the street will likely also desire direct access onto the collector street as there would be limited opportunity to accommodate residential streets to service the area. It is sound policy to minimize, if not totally eliminate, all direct access to collector streets. Committee Action: Motion to recommend that Council adopt the collection of an impact fee on future developments designated within the area of benefit as identified in the alignment study. Further action based upon discussion. Reviewed by: City Engineer City Administrator R&B: 04/12/94 Copies alSO distributed to: Finance Officer g
