PEMBLE Trsffic Engineer November 20, [995 Derrick J. Passe · i Passe Engmeeq.ug, Inc. 9445 East Rive~ Road #203 Minneapolis, MN. 55433 ; RE: Sketch Plan Ramsey Boulevard Site Dear Mr. Passe:r We have revieWed the sketch plan for the Ramsey Boulevard site, to be located east of CR 56 (Ramsey Blv ~d..)'and north' of CR 116 (Industry Avenue NW) within the City of Ramsey, and I offer the following comments: Existing Zlight-of-way depicted On the plat adjacent to CR 56 and CR 116 is acceptabl~ and should be adequate for future reconstruction purposes (60 feet 9~ R/W east of CR 56R/W centerline, 60 feet of R/W north of CR 116 ~/W centerline). For review purposes, I have labelled the three proposed iaccess points (beginning on CR 56 and moving counter clockwise) as "A", "B", a~d "C". It appears that Case V Sight Distance Requirements cannot bd met at the location proposed for access "A" due to a vertical curve to the north on CR 56. Consequently, it is recommended that access "A" be relocated ~o the north to a point where Case V Sight Distance Requirements can be m~,rt. Similarly, it appears that Case V Sight Distance Requirements cannot be ;met at the locatzon proposed for access "B" due to a vertical curve to the wes,~ on CR 116. It is recommended that access "B" be relocated approxim~ttely 290 feet west to the crest of the vertical curve on CR 116. Cleadn~'a~ud grading should then be accomplished to the extent that Case I Sight Dz~st~Lnce Requirements can be met as well. Finally, it appears that Case V Sijht Distance Requirements c~nnot be met at the location proposed for access "C" 'due to the horizontal curvature of CR 116. Consequently, it zs , also reco ,rrknended that access "C" be relocated to the west to a point where., Case V Si~iht Distance Requirements can be met. The City and the Developer; should ensure that all sight distance requirements are met foz" this develc~pment. All lots within this plat should be configured so that i they access the city streets only, as no residential accesses will be . permitted Onto the County Highways. Right-of-access along the remaining portions ot~ CR 116 and CR 56 should be dedicated to Anoka County. Calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this development. The post-developed Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer
