Mr. Brixius went on to state the main purpose of the preliminary plat is to plat an 80- foot right-of-way for Keystone Avenue NE to establish access to 70th Street NE.

The upgrade of the road will bring forth the new limitations for intersection spacing specified in the Northeast Transportation Study. The new spacing requirements are one full intersection over one-half mile or greater. Vice-chair Kocon asked if there was anyone else present in the audience regarding the public hearing. Wally O'Dell, r~resenting John Darkenwald, informed the Commission that Albertville Business Park 2n Addition is part of a 111 acre project for which an Alternative Urban Area- wide Review (AUAR) was completed in November 2002 and approved in 2003. Mr. O'Dell went into further detail stating that in June 2003, the AUAR, prepared in February 2003, was adopted by the Albertville City Council for the Albertville Business Park Project. The AUAR established a concept plan of future industrial and.commercial development in the northwest corner of the City. The concept plan also included proposed locations for the extension of Keystone Avenue NE and 67th Street NE. Albertville staff reported that the Northeast Wright County Transportation Study was completed in June 2004 and established that all intersections along County roads need to maintain a distance of one-quarter mile spacing with full intersections maintaining one-half mile spacing.
