COUNTY OF ANOKA <br /> Public Services Division <br /> HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT <br />1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD. N.W., ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 <br /> (612) B62-4200 FAX (612) 862-4201 ', <br /> <br /> JANE lC PEMBLE, TRAFFIC ENGINEER <br /> DIRECT DIAL NUMBER (612) 8;2-423t <br /> <br />~arch 2, }998 <br /> <br />Sylvia Frollk <br />City of Ramsay <br />15 i 53 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Ramsay, MN. 55303 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Preliminary Site Plan <br />Diamond Spo~ Bar & Grill <br /> <br />Dem' Sy~,,i~: <br /> <br />Wc Have reviewed the Preliminary Site Plan for Diamond Sports Bar and Grill to be lo,ted south of US 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 Ramsay, and ! offer the following comments: <br /> <br />It is anticipated that ifa new Mississippi River crossing is conslruct~ immediately west of this parcel, <br />additional right-of-way will be required to construct the on/offramps at US I 0. Since there is not yet an), <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 !/3 ortho 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 Ramsay, 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 />Ifa.ny work is to be completed within the County Right-of-Way, a permit is required and mugt 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 how they may impact the future river crossing <br />alignmenL <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please keep this department informed as plans for this site develop. <br />Feel frec to contact me or Jon Olson, County Engineer, if you have any questions. <br /> <br />Traffic Engineer <br /> <br />xc: Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator <br /> <br />xc: Skip Anderson, County Surveyor <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br />lq <br /> <br /> <br />
