N.W., ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 <br />(612) 862-4200 FAX (612) 862-4201 <br /> <br /> JANE K. PEMBLE, TRAFFIC ENGINEER <br /> DIRECT DIAL NUMBER (612) 862-4231 <br /> <br />Fax Note 7671 <br /> <br />Preliminary Site Plan <br />Diamond Sport., Bar & Grill <br /> <br />We Have reviewed the Preliminary Site Plan for Diamond Sports Bar and Grill to be located south ofUS 10 <br />between Traprock Street NW and the right-of-way corridor reserved for a future bridge over the Mississippi River <br />within the City of Ramsey, and I offer the following comments: <br /> <br /> It is anticipated that ifa new Mississippi River crossing is constructed immediately west of this parcel, <br /> additional right-of-way will be required to construct the on/offrarnps at US 10. Since there is not Yet any <br /> concept plan for this proposed interchange, the exact right-of-way requirements cannot yet be determined. <br /> A standard diamond interchange requires approximately 1,000 feet along both intersecting routes, <br /> connected by an appropriate ARC (see attached rough sketch). This would appear to impact the SW and <br /> NW ball fields, as well as impacting approximately 1/3 of the parking area. If constructed, the proposed <br /> river crossing construction would involve the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Because of this, <br /> and since this parcel is immediately adjacent to US 10, this site plan must also be reviewed by Mn/DOT. <br /> Ano 'ka County is interested in meeting with the City of Ramsey, Mn/DOTand the Developer of this site to <br /> help in determining the right-of-way requirements for this future interchange/River crossing. Since this <br /> parcel has access to Traprock Street NW, all accesses are to be made via this local roadway. <br /> <br /> If any work is to be completed within the County Right-of-Way, a permit is required and must be obtained <br /> prior to the commencement of any construction. Contact Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator <br /> for this department, for further information regarding the permit process. <br /> <br /> Drainage plans for this site will require revi~v as to how they may impact the future river crossing <br /> <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please keep this department informed as plans for this site develop. <br /> Feel free to contact me or Jon Olson, County Engineer, if you have any questions. <br /> <br /> Traffic Engineer <br /> <br />nc: Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator <br /> <br />xc: Skip Anderson, County Surveyor <br /> <br />Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer I q*"l <br /> <br /> <br />
