Pemble@co.anoka.mn.us '_ <br /> <br />October 9, 2002 <br /> <br />Patrick Trudgeon <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303. <br /> <br />RE: Preliminary Plat <br /> White Oak Addition <br /> <br />Dear Patrick, <br /> <br />We have revieWed the Preliminary Plat of White Oak Addition, to be located west of CR 56 (Ramsey <br />Blvd.) and south of 158* Lane NW within the City of Ramsey, and I offer the following comments: <br /> <br />Existing right-of-way adjacent to CR 56 should be adequate for future reconstruction purposes (60 ff <br />total r/w width west of CR 56 r/w centerline). It is possible that at some point in the future additional <br />easements beyond the currently dedicated 60ff of r/w may be required in the form of temporary <br />construction easements and/or permanent trail/utility easements <br /> <br />It appears that some clearing will be required on Lot 5, Block 1 in order to satisfy the Case I <br />Intersection Sight Distance Requirements for the intersection of 158th Lane and CR 56. <br /> <br />The Preliminary Plat is proposing an access/driveway for Lot 1, Block 1 directly opposite of 157~ <br />Lane. The Case I Intersection Sight Distance requirements for an access at this location cannot'be met <br />due to trees located on the adjacent property. Additionally, this access location may be considered by <br />the City as an appropriate location for a proposed municipal trail. While lining up the driveway for <br />Lot 1, Block 1 with 157th Lane is desirable from a standpoint of reducing conflict points, ACHD <br />reserves the right to determine a dedicated access point to Lot 1, Block 1 at a later date after the trail <br />easement has been considered by the City and ACHD has further evaluated the Sight Distance. issues <br />associated with this lot. Dedicated right of access with exceptions for approved access and. trail <br />easements will be required on the Final Plat. All Lots except Lot t, Block I will have access available <br />via the Local Roadway (158th Lane NW). Right of access to CR 56 along Lots 2 and 5, Block 1 shall <br />be dedicated to Anok. a County. All existing driveways to CR 56 from Lots 2 and 5 shall be removed <br />and the right-of-way restored to match the existing ditch depth and grade. The City and the developer <br />shall ensure that all intersection sight distance requirements are met for this plat to the fullest extent <br />possible. The right-of-access with exceptions for the approved access locations and trail easements are <br />to be included on the final plat. Contact Mike Kelly, Chief Right-of-Way Agent, to coordinate the <br />preparation and filing of the appropriate documents necessary for the right-of-access dedication. <br /> <br />Please note that no plantings or business signs will be permitted within the county right-of-way. Care <br />must be exercised when locating signs/plantings/berms/etc, outside the county right-of-way, so as not <br />to create sight obstructions for vehicles at this site. <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer -257- <br /> <br /> <br />
