e e e # LP-49 -3- add traffic to an existing heavily used driveway. The problem may be overstated, however, as the proposed restaurant entrance is relatively close to Old Highway 8 and not within the actual apartment parking areas. A possibility may be to access directly off of Old Highway 8. Such an access would, of course, have to be approved by Ramsey County. A County Highway Engineer has indicaten access off of Old Highway 8 may be possible though it would not be likely that the Coun~y would allow the existing road median to be cut. with the median access off of Old Highway 8 would only be possible for south bound traffic. Sharing the apartment driveway would provide both north bound and south bound traffic access to the restaurant from Old Highway 8. A further comment regarding this proposal is its relationship with the large County right-af-way on the south and east sides. It appears possible that if the right-of-way were acquired and added to the subject property, enough land may be available for two building sites. :I~e Assistant County Engineer has indicated that such acquisition may be feasible and that such a request could be made through the County Board of Commissioners. Conclus ion_~ The proposed develop~ent is bQsic~lly w211 desisned. Consideration may want to be given to the access routes and also to the possibility of acquiring u portion of the large County righ C-Of-irlay. \'Je \>.i'Ould suggest that eUlit :L'~c8r.l1r,e:lc12..t-i.on approving the lmilc1ing oermit be =~nait~onp~ nn ~;~ ~~~J~C~Dt prcvi~i09 'J:-, ::',=:;-,.>[(,e1'. i.. a0i~{;;'?mer! i.: .Leg~...d:-~i:i.r~'j cl~e slla::::-ed Li.Sf:~ OJ: l:D\-~ ::tpart.ment dr~veway.
