Review File: Preliminary Plat Review (July 3, 2014) <br />Ridgepointe <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />Streets: The proposed plat would extend existing Rivlyn Avenue nearly 300 additional feet. When measuring lengths of <br />cul de sacs, the point of origin is the first point of multiple access points to the street. In this case, the point of origin is the <br />intersection of Tungsten Street and Riverdale Drive. The existing measurement from the point of origin to the terminus of <br />Rivlyn Drive is approximately 930 feet. The total length of a single access point road with the proposed plat would be <br />1,281 feet. The length of the cul-de-sac exceeds the 600 feet maximum length. The proposed right-of-way meets the <br />minimum standard of sixty (60) feet in width and a radius of sixty (60) feet for cul-de-sacs. <br />There are limited opportunities for additional connections to public streets to remove the dead end/cul-de-sac condition. <br />Additionally, the surrounding built environment limits future connection options. Please note, however, the potential, <br />future redevelopment could create this opportunity. See following sections of this report for more information. <br />Highway 10 Access Planning Study: The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has initiated the Highway <br />10 Access Planning Study that has potential implications to this request. As it relates to the `Tungsten Street Area', there <br />are two (2) proposed alternatives to create a local road connection that would allow for the removal of private direct <br />access onto the trunk highway system (U.S. Highway 10). One of the proposed alternatives would require that the current <br />proposal be redesigned. <br />Report continues on next page. <br />
