JANE K. PEMBLE <br />Traffic Engineer <br />COUNTY OF ANOKA <br />Public Services Division <br />HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT <br />1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD NW, ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 <br />(612) 754-3520 FAX (612) 754-3532 <br />March 12, 1996 <br />Sylvia Frolik <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Ramsey, MN. 55303 <br />RE: 2nd Revision - Preliminary Plat <br />Pondview <br />Dear Sylvia: <br />We have reviewed the 2nd revision of the Preliminary Plat for Pondview, to be located <br />north of CSAH 116 (Industry Ave NW) and east of CR 56 (Ramsey Blvd) within the City <br />of Ramsey, and I offer the following comments: <br />It appears that the only chane made on this Preliminary Plat from the plat <br />most recently reviewed by this department is the elimination of the extension <br />of 147th Avenue NW to CR 56. It it is the City of Ramsey's intent that the <br />extension of 147th Avenue NW to CR 56 be made at a future date, then the <br />recommendations and comments made in the previous reviews of this plat <br />regarding this intersection still apply. If it is the City of Ramsey's intent <br />not to extend 147th Avenue NW to CR 56, the access for the outlot is still to be <br />made from the local roadway, 147th Avenue NW. In general, the Anoka County <br />Highway Department would prefer that there be no additional access points <br />made onto the county highway system to ensure mobility: However, we <br />understand that compromises in mobility will need to be made in order to <br />adequately serve the developing areas of the County. With these thoughts in <br />mind and depending upon the City of Ramsey's intent for the property adjacent <br />to CR 56 (commercial or residential development), the City may wish to <br />consider the following two possibilities: <br />1) Create a commercial strip of property extending from CSAH 116 to 149th <br />Ave. NW; create a frontage road -type scheme parallel to CR 56 with <br />adjoining commercial parking lots, with access for the commercial strip <br />being made from 149th Ave NW and possibly CSAH 116; <br />2) Eliminate the commercial property from this plat, creating all residential <br />lots which would have direct access via the local roadways only. <br />Regardless of the final configuration of this plat as approved by the City of <br />Ramsey, it still should be noted that when CR 56 and CSAH 116 are <br />reconstructed in the future, there will likely be raised concrete medians for <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
