Hakanson <br />Anderson <br />Assoc., Inc. <br /> <br />Engineers, Surveyors & <br />Landscape Architects <br /> <br />September 30, 1988 <br /> <br />Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />city of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Re: Holiday Station Site Review <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Zimmerman: <br /> <br />We have reviewed the proposed site plan for the Holiday station at <br />the corner of U.S. Highway 10 and County Road No. 56 (Ramsey Blvd.) <br />and offer the following comments: <br /> <br />1. our primary concerns are the potential traffic and safety <br /> problems associated with a high volume business at this <br /> location. The applicant should submit projected daily and peak <br /> hour traffic volumes to more adequately assess potential <br /> problems. <br /> <br /> 2. The driveway off Highway 10 should be restricted to an entry <br /> only since right turns back onto Hwy. 10 would be into or <br /> across the right turn lane for Ramsey Blvd. We have not yet <br /> received a review letter from Mn/DOT on this project. Thus, <br /> entry and exist should be re-evaluated pending their comments. <br /> <br /> 3. A letter from the County Engineer's office is attached. Our <br /> concern is that adequate stacking capability is provided with <br /> exits back onto Highway 10. The proposed location of the drive <br /> on Co. 56 appears to be about the best compromise allowing for <br /> stacking at the stoplights (5 cars) and at the railroad tracks <br /> (about 7 cars). <br /> <br />4. The discussion at the joint P&Z/EDC meeting on September 29 <br /> indicated the most acceptable concept for a service road <br /> paralleling the railroad tracks was to loop back to Highway 10 <br /> rather than exiting to Co. 56 directly adjacent to the track. <br /> Under such a concept, the frontage road would intersect Hwy. !0 <br /> at least 300' east of 56. Thus, no easement for frontage road <br /> would be required of this parcel. <br /> <br />2.22 Monroe Street <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />612/427-5860 <br /> <br /> <br />
