August 5, 1996 File: 260 083 -11 i COISILT15C ESCItiEW Mr. Jim March, Administrator City of Centerville 1326 Energy Park Drive 1880 Main Street St. Paul, MN 55108 Centerville, MN 55038 612 6AA -4389 1- 800 - 8882923 RE: HENSEL PROPERTY - SKETCH PLAN REVIEW Pax: 612 - 644 -94d6 Dear Mr. March: On July 25, 1996, we received a copy of the sketch plan for the development proposed on the Hensel Property in Centerville. We have researched several issues regarding development of this parcel and have summarized below some of the important issues the City may wish to consider. Because of the preliminary nature of the sketch plan, please understand the costs listed below would be further considered and evaluated more closely at the time of completion of a feasibility study. C W eNG NE !NG 'TRAFFIC ISSUES ;NV!RC%iENTAL ;naN,C'AL Two key traffic issues include increasing volume on connecting residential streets and also 7UNNNG the approach onto Main Street (CSAH 14). At the July 9th Planning and Zoning meeting, sC�D WASTE several residents expressed concern about increased traffic volumes from the proposed AacC"JRAL development. At that meeting, the Developer presented a sketch showing a lot and street _c.VEeNG layout with no access to Main Street. The present sketch plan shows an access to Main :ac =;C Street; however, a connection is also made to Centerville Road. Traffic moving from the ruNrC.unC.N proposed development to I -35E would likely continue to utilize Peltier Lake Drive and Mill Road as collector streets to Main Street. The proposed approach to Main Street is in the vicinity of the existing driveway access. This approach would meet traffic standards provided adequate site distance was available in both directions at the intersection. Clearing trees and brush may be necessary at this approach to provide for proper site distance. WATER ISSUES We have reviewed the proposed development to determine different potential watermain connecting points into the existing water supply system. There are three options for extending watermain to the development. All the options below include only the cost to extend watermain to the plat, not to serve the individual lots within the plat. Option 1 includes extending watermain across Clearwater Creek from Clear Ridge to the OFFICES IN east cul -de -sac of the proposed development. The estimated construction cost for this MINNEAPCUS extension to the plat is $18,900. An easement would need to be obtained to construct PRfCR LAKE water from Clear Ridge to the creek. Si.
