FW Regarding 2nd access of the Dorsey parcelLyndon,
What does the County cost share policy state for these type of turn lane improvements? Would the County participate in the cost for the turn lane improvements?

Subject: Regarding 2nd access of the Dorsey parcel
May 7th 2012
Todd,
In conversations with you, Kate and Paul, I understood we were in agreement on the
location of the 2nd access point, along the North West corner property line of the
Dorsey parcel. That location would allow for the greatest distance possible to the Sunset
& County. Rd. 18 intersection. It is my understanding the 2nd access point
Location meets standards and is acceptable to Carver County. We respectfully request that the City to confirm it is in agreement with Carver County regarding that location of that 2nd
access point. Please confirm that the 2nd access point is being included on the County Road 18 update mapping. It is my understanding this will be the final version of the mapping by
Carver County for the reconstruction of County Road 18.
Todd, we also would appreciate the chance to talk further with you about the potential assessments for the two intersections which Paul Oehme referenced in his April 24th 2012 email
to Rick and me. It is my understanding that the Carver County needs to redesign and reconstruct County Roads to State safety standards which will handle traffic from development planned
to occur over the next thirty years. In this case the growth would be based on the 2008 comprehensive plan of the City, accepted by the County. Both Rick and I already have access into
our properties from County Road 18. I have an access point on the west edge of my parcel which I willing to vacate because of its close proximity to the Lyman/Powers Blvd interchange.
In return, I would agree to, including my lost access point for the 2nd access point with-in 10’of the Dorsey westerly property line as we agreed to previously It is my understanding
that Carver County has said the 2nd access point, meets safety distance guidelines from other intersections. Given the guidance for our parcels, we believe that the access points are
necessary to service current and future development. Because they are necessary, it would seem that the County has the responsibility to design and build safe access to them which includes
turn lanes without assessment to property owners.
Finally, I would appreciate receiving copies of the City's correspondence with Carver County regarding the 2nd access point and the County Road 18 reconstruction final mapping.
I look forward to receiving documentation of the touch point be included on the map.
Sincerely,
Jeff Fox
