Before anY further development, <br />please address the following issues: <br /> <br />· The proposed extension of Riverdale Drive NW to the west where it will connect with TH t0 <br /> will be permitted provided that the street is aligned with Ramsey Boulevard NW. The <br /> development plans should be updated to reflect this alignment. The plans for Riverdale Dr/Ye <br /> NW should be modified so that there is at least 500 to 660 feet of separation between. TH 10 <br /> and the "kink" in Riverdale that is being proposed on the west end of the development. In <br /> addition, the plans need to be updated to show a minimUm of three approach lanes for this <br /> fourth leg (left, right and through) of the future intersection at TH 10 and Rarnsey Boulevard <br /> NW. Furthermore, when the Connection of Riverdale Drive NW to TH 10 is complete, all <br /> access between Ramsey Boulevard NW and Sunfish Lake-NW should be eliminated. The City3 <br /> County, and developer should note that the TH 1.0 Interregional Corridor Plan proposes a <br /> future interchange at TH I0 and Ramsey Boulevard NW as well as TH 10 and SunfiSh Lake <br /> Boulevard .NW. Future land use and transpgrtation improvements should take into <br /> consideration the future plans for these two intersections/planned interchanges. If you have <br /> any questions regarding this information, please contact Beth Neuendorf, Area Engineer, at <br /> 651-582-1579. <br /> <br />· The proposed development will need to maintain existing drainage rates (i.e., the rate at which <br /> storm water is discharged from the site must not increase). When the R/verdale DriVe NW <br /> connection to TH 1.0 is complete, the added impervious surface will require space for ponding <br /> of storm water runoff. Future development plans shOuld make provisions for this ponding. In <br /> addition, straightening, the roadway to remOve the "kink" may reqUire additional land from the <br /> Anoka County. Regional Park and may require an EnVironmental. Assessment and an erosion <br /> control plan due to the sandy soils and potential for wind erosion. Please direct questions <br /> concermng these issues to Pamela Seldon (651~634-241 l) of Mn/DOT's Water Resources <br /> section. <br /> <br />An equal opportunity employer <br /> <br />-133- <br /> <br /> <br />
