Brealme Daines May 7, 2007 Page 2 and create a connection to the City street system to serve these developments at a future date, so that the direct access onto CSAH 5 can be removed at that time. It appears that there are severe deficiencies for the Intersection Sight Distance Requirements for the Sight Corner (formerly Case I) requirements for the temporary access onto CSAH 5 at all points along the properties, with the obstructions being trees. It appears that all other Intersection Sight Distance Requirements are met except for a minor deficiency for Case nID (Condition 2) at the northerly most property line. The City/Developer shall ensure that all Intersection Sight Distance Requirements for any approved access point are satisfied to the fullest extent possible. Please note that no planting or business signs will be permitted within the county right of way. Care must be exercised when locating signs, plantings, berms, etc. outside of the county right of way, so as not to create sight obstructions for motorists in this area. Construction of a SB CSAH 5 right turn lane at the temporary access location is required to be completed in conjunction with these developments.-In addition, drainage calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for these developments. The post-developed rate of discharge shall not exceed the pre-developed rate runoff for the 10-year critical design storm. An engineering plan review fee will apply to these projects estimated at $350.00. Please submit the right turn lane construction plans, drainage calculations, grading and erosion control plans, and ACHD Design Requirements list for County Highway . Modifications (copy available via our website) and the applicable engineering plan review fee to Andrew Witter, Construction Engineer, for his review and approval. It should be noted that residential land use adjacent to highways usually results in complaints regarding traffic noise. Traffic noise at this location could exceed noise standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Traffic volumes on this section of CSAH 5 are projected to increase over time. When this section of CSAH 5 is reconstructed in the future, the reconstructed roadway section will be wider than the present roadway section, and construction of noise walls will not likely b~ included in the reconstruction project. The City and/or the Developer should assess the. present and future noise situation and take any action deemed necessary to minimize associated impacts at this site from the existing and future traffic noise. A temporary access permit and (2) permits for work within the county right of way are required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of construction (permit to work within RJW= $110.00/each development; temporary access permit=$150.00). License Permit Bonding, methods of construction, design details, work zone traffic control, restoration requirements and follow-up inspections are typical elements of the permitting process. Contact Terri Klein, Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process. Installation and maintenance of any necessary permanent traffic control devices within the county right of way will be coordinated by this department in conjunction with the permit process. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this review. ~~n~erelY' . ~.. .- ."
