PEMBLE, TRAFFIC ENGINEER DIRECT DIAL NUMBER (763) 862-4231 e-mail Jane.Pemble@co.anoka.mn.us February 20, 2001 Rick L. Osberg James R. Hill, Inc. 2500 West County Road 42 Suite 120 Bumsville, MN. 55337 RE: Preliminary Plat Pheasant Marsh Dear Mr. Osberg: We have reviewed the preliminary plat of Pheasant Marsh, to be located east ofCSAH 21 (Centerville Road) between Partridge Place and Dupre Road within the City of Centerville, and I offer the following comments: . Existing right-of-way east of centerline CSAH 21 is 33 feet. As shown on the preliminary plat, an additional 27 feet of right-of-way east of the centerline ofCSAH 21 will be required for future reconstruction purposes (total of 60 feet of right-of-way east of the centerline of CSAH 21). It appears intersection Sight Distance Requirements can be met for the proposed intersection of CSAH 21 and Dupre Road, however, some clearing and grading will be required to satisfy the Case I requirements. The CitylDeveloper are to ensure that all applicable intersection Sight Distance Requirements are met to the fullest extent possible. Please note that the existing and proposed right-of-way along the boundaries of this plat is to be cleared of all in-place trees and/or field entrances or access points. Two versions of this plat were submitted to Anoka County Highway Department dated 10-26-00 and 11- 29-00. The 10-26-00 plan set shows Outlot B to be a 50-foot wide non-developable outlot which would not require access to CSAH 21, and that all lots within the plat would have access to the local roadways. On the more recent 11-29-00 plan set, Outlot B is shown as a much larger outlot with several hundred feet of frontage along CSAH 21 and having no other means of access other than direct access to CSAH 21. Regardless of how Outiot B is configured, it is our opinion that all lots within this plat have adequate access available via local roadways, and that if access for Outlot B is required, the plat should be reconfigured to allow access for Outlot B to be made via the local roadways as well. Consequently, no access points for the plat, including Outlot B, will be permitted onto CSAH 21, and right of access along CSAH 21 within the boundaries of this plat (with the exception of Dupre Road) shall be dedicated to Anoka County. Calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this development. The post-developed rate of discharge shall not exceed the pre-developed rate of discharge for the 5-year, 24-hour storm, utilizing the "SCS Method" with a curve number determined using Group C soils as a minimum. An access permit and a permit for work within the county right-of-way are required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of any construction. Contact Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator or Josie Scott, Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process. Anoka County Highway Department will install, remove, modify and/or maintain all necessary permanent traffic control devices within the County right-of-way as needed for the development of this plat as a part of the permit process. No other signs or devices will be permitted within Anoka County right-of-way. Affirmative Action I Equal Opportunity Employer
