Minnesota <br />Departmen! of Transporlation <br />District 5 <br />2055. No. Lilac Drive <br />Golden Valley, Minnesota 55422. <br /> <br />November 13, 1979 <br /> <br />(612} 545-3761 <br /> <br />Ms. Arlene Peddycoart <br />Planning Secretary <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />In Reply Refer To: 315 <br />SP 0202 TH 10 <br />Plat review of prdposed Alpaca Estates <br />located along south side of TH 10 between <br />Llama Street NW and Alpaca Street N-W in <br />the City of Ramsey, Anoka County <br /> <br />Dear MS. Peddycoart: <br /> <br />We are in receipt of the above referenced plat for.our revie- in accordance <br />with Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 505.03 Plats and Surveys. We find the <br />plat acceptable for further development witheonsideration of the following <br />comments: <br /> <br />- The Metropolitan Council's transportation plan has classified TH 10 as <br /> a principal arterial. T~e Anoka County transportation also puts TH 10 <br /> in this same class. By this definition local or collector streets <br /> should not connect directly to TM 10.~ ~aerefore, streets such as <br /> Iguana Street NW as proposed on this plat should not intersect with <br /> TH 10. It is also questionable if Alpaca Street should be allowed to <br /> intersect with TH 10. The Minnesota Department of Transportation's <br /> long range plan for TH 10 is to eliminate as many direct access points <br /> as possible and provide access only at major crossroads, via frontage <br /> roads or local streets. These major crossroads would then be controlled <br /> with traffic signals as warranted. We recommend the developer eliminate <br /> Iguana Street NW and no left turn access be allowed at Alpaca Street <br /> because the existing crossover has no left turn lanes, Right turn lanes <br /> will be required at Llama, Armstrong Boulevard and Alpaca. <br /> <br />Before construction of any of the entrances is allowed the developer <br />must have an approved entrance permit from our district office in <br />Golden Valley. <br /> <br />- Noise levels along TH 10 presently exceed state standards for residential <br /> development. Mn/DOT will not provide any type of noise abatement for <br /> new development adjacent to existing trunk highways. We suggest every <br /> effort be made in design of the development to provide protection for any <br /> residential lots adjacent to the highway. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
