Andover, MN 55304 RE: Lot 1, Block 1, Anoka Enterprise Park 3rd Addition Driveway Access to CR 116 Dear Jane, Our firm acts as design engineers for the City of Anoka for the Anoka Enterprise Park Development and has prepared the attached preliminary sketch of the Lot 1 Block 1 area showing a 76,000 square foot building accessed by two driveway connections to County Road 116. The City of Anoka is the property owner and developer, and is in the process of selling the property with development anticipated approximately as shown. The owner and end user of the lot is not yet final. We anticipate property closure prior to next spring for possible 1999 construction. At this time we are seeking Anoka County review and input into the developmental sketch so that any necessary work in or adjacent to the County road can be properly planned. The sketch shows two access points to CR 116. Both are required to provide a fire access lane around the building, The two access points also act to separate truck access and circulation from employee and customer access. Neither driveway is aligned with existing Krypton Street located in the City of Ramsey, The east driveway is shown 170 ft from Krypton Street. An attached sketch shows new eastbound turn lanes for CR 116 which could be constructed concurrent with the development, The sketch also shows potential for a westbound by-pass lane. Please review the area and recommend features to f'rt both initial and long range plaflning, ' We also. request confirmation of pfanning. As per our recent phone discussion, it is my understanding that County Road 118 is planned to be 4-lane undivided roadway, likely with a rural section and paved shoulders. I also understand that the timing for road improvements is uncertain and is beyond current programming. Any curb and gutter would be a local (city) option and is unlikely. It is probable that major intersections will ultimately have channelization and that the intersection of Thurston and CR 118 will be signalized.
