Tim Gladhill City of Ramsey 7550 Sunwood Drive NW Ramsey, MN 55303 RE: Sketch Plan, Site Plan and Final Plat RTC 14 Addition - Allina Hospitals and Clinics Dear Tim, Attachment C COUNTY OF hivvrkH Public Services Division HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD. N.W., ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 -4005 (763) 862 -4200 FAX (763) 862 -4201 March 17, 2010 We have reviewed the sketch plan, site plan and final plat for RTC 14 Addition - Allina Hospitals and Clinics, to be located in the northwest quadrant of CSAH 56 (Ramsey Boulevard) and Sunwood Drive within the City of Ramsey, and I offer the following comments: The existing right . ..o f way along CSAH 56 should be adequate for future reconstruction purposes (60fft west of centerline), and no additional right of way, will be required at this time As proposed, access for the development is to be made entirely from Sunwood Drive, ..with no access pomts,onto CSAH 56, which is consistent with county policy, and is acceptable...Consequently no access points will be permitted onto,CSAH 56 for this. site, It should be noted that the Intersection Site Distance Triangle for Case I at CSAH 56 /Sunwood Drive will be blocked by the proposed building. While this is mitigated to some extent by the existing traffic signal at the intersection, it may still impact operations and safety at the intersection. The city and the developer shall ensure that sight distance requirements are met to the fullest extent possible for this site. Please note that no plantings or business signs will be permitted within the county right of way, and care should be exercised when locating signs, buildings, structures, planting, berms, etc. outside of the county right of way, so as not to create any new sight obstructions for this section of CSAH 56. A $150.00 ACHD Engineering Plan Review will apply to this project. Calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this development. The post- development rate of runoff must not exceed the pre - developed rate of runoff for the 10 -year, critical design storm. Contact Dan Frey, Engineer III (763.862.4209; email: Daniel.Frey@co.anoka.mn.us ) for further information and to coordinate the ACHD Engineering Plan Review process. Please submit the drainage calculations, grading and erosion control plans, and the ACHD Design Requirements List for County Highway Modifications (copy available via our website) and the Engineering Plan Review fee to Mr. Frey for his review and approval. Following completion of the ACRD Engineering Plan Review process outlined in the above paragraph, if any work is to be completed within the CSAH 56 county right of way, a permit is required, and must be obtained prior to the commencement of construction. Please note that underground traffic signal conduit/wiring and traffic signal handholes exist within the county right of way along CR 56 at this location, and will require coordination with ACRD Signals section in conjunction with permit process. The city/Developer Will responsible for any applicable ACHD signal- related costs, should the construction activities for this site cause, impacts /damage. License Permit Bonding, methods of construction, design details, work zone traffic control; restoration requirements, and follow -up inspections are typical elements of the permitting process.
