Ruud, Highway Engineer <br /> 1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD NW, ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 612-754-3520 <br /> <br /> EECEIVED <br />September 13, .gsa SEP f 1988 <br /> <br />city of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Ramsey, MN. 55303 <br /> <br />Attention: Anne Norris, <br /> community Development Director <br /> <br />Regarding: Oakwood Hills Grading Plan <br /> <br /> Dear Anne: <br /> We have reviewed the proposed grading and excavation plans for <br /> Oakwood Hills and offer the following comments. <br />The original proposed plat we reviewed indicated that Xenon <br />Street was to be connected to Wolfram Street. This plan does <br />'not show that occuring at this time, but since it does refer <br />to a temporary cul-de-sac, I assume that is still the ultimate <br />plan. As we have expressed concern in the past, we feel cul- <br />de-sacs exiting onto the major roadways are a very poor <br />design, so hopefully that will not occur here. The actual. <br />connection of Xenon onto CSAH %5 i~ a design which is not <br />acceptable to us. Xenon needs to be narrowed up and squared <br />off at the intersection with csAH ~5 Attached is a sketch <br />showing the concept which we would approve. The intersection, <br />as designed, is too wide where it actually connects with CSAH <br />~5. With an intersection that wide, it becomes extremely <br />difficult to control the location for the correct points to <br />enter and exit the intersection and also encourages higher <br />speed turning movements which are not safe. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment and if you have any <br /> questions, please feel free to call me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Sironen, PE <br />Assistant County Engineer - Administration <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
