COUNTY OF ANOKA Public Services Division HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD. N.W.,.ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304-40 (763) 8824200 FAX (763) 882-420!~. DIRECT- DIAL NUMBER (763) 862-4231 ] e-mail Jane. Pemble@co,anoka.mn.us I October 9, 2002 Patrick Trudgeon City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, iViN 55303 RE: Preliminary Plat White Oak Addition Dear Patrick, We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat of White Oak Addition, to be located west of CR 56 (Ramsey Blvd.) and south of t 58th Lane NW within the City of Ramsey, and I offer the following comments: Existing right-of-way adjacent to CR 56 should be adequate for future reconstruction purposes (60 ft total r/w width west of CR 56 r/w centerline). It is possible that at some point in the future additional easements beyond the currently dedicated 60fl of r/w may be required in the form of temporary construction easements and/or permanent trail/utility easements " It appears that some clearing will be required on Lot 5; Block 1 in order to satisfy the Case I Intersection Sight Distance Requirements for the intersection of 158~ Lane and CR 56. The Preliminary Plat is proposing an access/driveway for Lot 1, Block 1 directly opposite of 157~' Lane. The Case I Intersection Sight Distance requirements for an access at this Iocation cannot be met due to trees located on the adjacent property. Additionally, this access location may be considered by the City as an appropriate location for a proposed municipal trail. While lining UP the driveway for Lot 1, Block 1 with 157th Lane is 'desirable from a standpoint of reducing conflict points, ACHD reserves the right to determine a dedicated access' point to Lot i, Block t at a later date after the trail easement has been considered by the City and ACHD has further evaluated the Sight Distance issues associated with this lot. Dedicated right of access with exceptions for approved access and trail easements will be required on the Final Plat. All Lots except Lot l, Block 1 will have access available. via the Local Roadway (158th Lane NW). Right of access to CR 56 along Lots 2 and 5, Block I shall be dedicated to Anoka County. All existing driveways to CR 56 from Lots 2 and 5 shall be removed and the right-of-way restored to match the existing ditch depth.and ~ade. The City and the developer shall ensure that all' intersection sight distance requirements, are met for this plat to the fullest extent possible. The right-of-access with exceptions'for the approved access locations and trail easements are to be included on the final plat. Contact Mike Kelly, Chief Right-of-Way Agent, to coordinate the preparation and filing of the appropriate documents necessary for the right-of-access dedication. I I I I I I I I I I, I -134- Please note that no plantings or business signs will be permitted within the county right-of-way. Care must be exercised when locating signs/plantings/berms/etc, outside the county right-of-way, so as not to create .sight obstructions for vehicles at this site: Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer I I
