The necessary clearing and grading will likely be accomplished as a part of <br />the construction of the pond to be built in this area. The City and the Developer shall ensure that all <br />applicable sight distance requirements are met for this development, as well as within the northwest <br />quadrant of CSAH 57 and McKinley Street NW. Please note that no trees or other plantings are permitted <br />within the county right-of-way. Care must be exercised when locating signs, plantings, berms and etc <br />outside of the county right-of-way, so as not to create any sight distance obstructions for this site. <br /> <br />Since this site is adjacent to a city street, no access points onto CSAH 57 are to be approved. This site is <br />large enough to accommodate a satisfactory internal traffic flow scheme, and all access for this site is to be <br />made via McKinley Street NW only. If the City of Ramsey approved direct access for this site onto CSAH <br />57 contrary to.our recommendation, the access point should be located near the north end of the property to <br />where it would line up directly opposite of Sunfish Lake Court.' There are several existing <br />driveways/entrances from previous property uses within the boundaries of this plat that shall be removed as <br />a part of this development. The right-of-way at each of these locations shall be restored to match the <br />existing ditch section along CSAH 57. Right-of-access along CSAH 57 is to be dedicated to Anoka <br />County, <br /> <br />Calculations must be submitted along with a ~ading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage <br />areas for this site. The post-developed rate/volume of runoff shall not exceed the pre-developed <br />rate/volume of runoff for the 1 O-year, 24-hour storm, utilizing the "SCS Method." Any existing culverts <br />from the in-place driveways along CSAH 57 are to be removed and the ditch re-graded to drain in the same <br />direction as the.existing conditions. <br /> <br />A permit for work within the county right-of-way is required and must be obtained prior to the <br />commencement of construction. Contact Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator, or Josie Scott, <br />Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process. The installation and maintenance <br />of any permanent traffic control devices within the county right-of-way will be coordinated and completed <br />by this department as a part of the permit process. <br /> <br />Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer -107- <br /> <br /> <br />
