• February 22, 2007 Mr. Mark Kretchmer Passe Engineering Inc. 1611 County Highway 10 ONE Minneapolis, MN 55432 Re: 167 Avenue Alignment Dear Mr. Kretchmer, I have reviewed the documents which Mr. John Peterson of Oakwood Land Development supplied relative to a proposal to create parcels in the southern half of sections 9 and 10. The purpose of these documents are to create both right of way for the extension of 167 Avenue as a collector street and to retain certain existing residential parcels along with parcels available for future subdivision when sewer and water is extended to the area. • I offer the following observations and comments on the four parcels which are P P ro osed to be dedicated to the city for right of way and drainage and utility purposes. For your reference I am attaching three figures to assist in describing the following comments: Proposed 167" Avenue Alignment through Gerbert's Addition — This parcel contains an 80 foot right of way which would accommodate a 35 mile per hour design speed alignment for the collector roadway. This parcel contains approximately half of the right of way needed to reali�n 167 Avenue as a collector street between 167 Avenue & Garnet Street and 166 Avenue & Jaspar Street. This segment can not be constructed without additional property from the Morse parcel. Jaspar Street Parcels to allow for the conversion to a cul de sac — These two parcels would allow for the northernmost 350 feet of Jaspar Street to be realigned into a cul de sac segment connecting to the realigned 167 Avenue. This conversion can not occur without additional property from the Morse and Lemkau parcels. 166` Avenue Extension provided between Quartz. Street and the McDonald Property — This parcel contains an 80 foot right of way which would accommodate a 35 mile per hour design speed alignment for the collector roadway which is consistent with MSA standards. The following comments and observations are offered: • This alignment would create an intersection skew for Quartz Street with 166 Avenue of approximately 18 degrees from perpendicular which is acceptable.
