Memorandum <br /> • To: <br /> From: Steve Rohlf, Building/Zoning Administrator <br /> Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of Polic <br /> R• <br /> iver Date: February 16, 1993 <br /> Police Department Subject: CUL-DE-SACS <br /> It has been brought to my attention that you are considering <br /> changing the ordinance that regulates cul-de-sacs. From a law <br /> enforcement perspective, whether a cul-de-sac is 500 feet or 1, 000 <br /> feet isn't that big of a problem. However, if at all possible, I <br /> would discourage cul-de-sacs unless there is a demonstrable <br /> hardship or it is indicated up front that in the future the road <br /> will continue through to another development. <br /> I would urge caution in eliminating existing cul-de-sacs unless <br /> they were designed to be through streets in the future. Some <br /> citizens are located on a cul-de-sac for the privacy and safety. <br /> If their planned cul-de-sac was replaced with an unplanned through <br /> street, this could create hard feelings within the community. <br /> If you have any questions in regards to my position on cul-de-sacs, <br /> please see me. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 • (612) 441-2324 <br />
