HUNTERS HILL PROPERTY OWNERS <br /> <br />City Of Ramsey <br />15153 No, then Blvd. N.W. <br />Ramsey, Minensota 55303 <br /> <br />ATTN: <br /> <br />City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Hunters Hill Petition <br />144th Lane N.W. Cul-de-sac <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />The Hunters Hill Property Owners hereby, submit a Petition <br />and its attachments for the purpose of a Cul-de-sac, as <br />described, on 144th Lane N.W. <br /> <br />The Hunters Hill Property Owners find that the continuation <br />of 144th Lane N.W., makinG it a thru street from Sunfish Lake <br />Blvd. into the proposed Cedar Hills and subsequently, Good <br />V~tue Homes and Chestnut Hills Developments is NOT an accept- <br />able solution to the traffic flow problems associated with <br />these developments. <br /> <br />The Hunters Hill Property Owners find that this would cause <br />excessive traffic through our residential area, cresting <br />unnecessary congestion, traffic hazards and general nuisance° <br /> <br />EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC <br /> <br />Traffic would be flowing from an Urban Residential area into <br />a Rural Residential area. With an estimate of 8 vehicle trips <br />per household per day (VTD) and a conservative estimate of <br />30 additional households that would use the 144th Lane route <br />because of its close proximity, the traffic through Hunters <br />Hill would increase by 240 VTD. This is in ~ddition to the <br />existinG 232 VTD created by our own use(29xS). This represents <br />i00~ pl~ increase per day. People will automatically take the <br />shortest distance to reach the collector routes and thoroughfares <br />to reach their destination. For many homes in the proposed <br />urban housing developments this would be thru Hunters Hill on <br />!~th Lane N.W. and/or including !43rd Lane N.W. because of <br />the configuration of the Hunters Hill neighborhood, (See <br />attached map.), thus ~ffectinG al! of Hunters Hill. <br /> <br />The streets in Hunters Hill are cf a different standard, design <br />and construction than that recuired for ~n Urban Area. As <br />volume/speed increase the function should be expressed in the <br />physical design to facilitate the need. <br /> <br />The streets in Hunters Hill were petitioned for and paid for by <br />its property owners. These streets are the typical Bituminous <br />Rural Street which is 24' wide, ~ith 4" class 5 Gravel base <br /> <br /> <br />
