I OF TRk~ Minnesota Department of Transportation District 5 2055 No. Lilac Drive Golden Valley, Minnesota 55422. January 14, 1985 Mr. Kenneth Peterson, Chairman Planning Commission City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard Northwest Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 In Reply Refer To: 315 S.P. 0202 T.H. 10 Plat review of Michael Kover property located approximately 700' E. of Co. Rd. 56 and N. of T.H. 10 in Section 34, T. 32, R. 25 in City of Ramsey Anoka County Dear Mr. Peterson: (612) 545-3761 I I I I I I I I We are in receipt of the above referenced plat for our review in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 505.03 Plats and Surveys. We find the plat acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments: The Metropolitan Council's transportation plan has classified T.H. 10 as a "Major Arterial" in this area. The Anoka County transportation plans indicate the same level of classification. Mn/DOT's long range plans for T.H. 10 are to eliminate as many direct access points as possible and provide access only at major crossroads, via frontage roads or local streets. These major crossroads would then be controlled with traffic signals as warranted. In this area it appears that the major access will be Co. Rds. 56 and 57. The developer has proposed temporary access be developed with highway access at each end of the property. This may be acceptable, however, a plan would have to be developed to indicate how the temporary accesses would be eliminated in the future. These access points, if allowed, should be limited to either 1 or 2 locations and must be coordinated with properties on each side of the plat. Before any construction may begin within the existing highway, right of way permits must be applied for and approved at our District Office.. Drainage was not indicated on the plat, and therefore, we have assumed the existing patterns will be perpetuated. I A n Equal Opportunity Employer
