Minnesota Department of Transportation Metropolitan Division Waters Edge Building i 1500 West County Road B2 Roseville, Minnesota 55113 I March 28, 1994 Sylvia Frolik zoning Administrator Ci!y of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd NW Rmnsey MN 55303 D~e. ar Sylvia Frolik: SLrBJECT: Site Plan Review Willow Ridge. Subdivision East of TH 47 and North of I49th Ave NW Ramsey, Anoka'County ' CS 0206 582-1387 The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the Willow Ridge sfibdivision site plan. We fred the proposal acceptable for further., development with c~nsideration of the following comments. We request ttiat the developer dedicate 50 feet of right of way from the centerline, and access control to TH 47. Access for the development should be via local streets. As an "A" minor arterial highway, access to TH 47 should be limited to collectors and other highways. It is neces~ to restrict access to the highway to ensure that it provides an acceptable level of service now and in the future. For safety and operational reasons, 'access to the highway should be at major intersections with a spacing of a minimum of one-half mile. The spacing of 153rd and 149th meets that criteria. In this area access must be limited to these intersections to protect the safety and functional integrity of TH 47. Existing access in-this area should be consolidated to local streets with connections to these major intersections. The connection of minor local streets to .TH 47 is inappropriate.
