COUNTY OF ANOKA <br /> Public Services Division <br />HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT <br />1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD. 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 />March 2, 1998 <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Ramsey, MN. 55303 <br /> <br />Preliminary Site Plan <br />Diamond Sports Bar & Grill <br /> <br />Dear Sylvia: <br />We Have reviewed the Preliminary Site Plan for Diamond Sports Bar and Grill to be located south of US I0 <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/offramps 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 siandard 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 />Anoka County is interested in meeting with the City of Ramsey, Mn/DOT and 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 review as to ho~ they may impact the future river crossing <br />alignment. <br /> <br />Thank <br />Feel free to contact me or Jon Olson, County Engineer, if you have any questions. <br /> <br />Traffic En~in6er" ......
