COUNTY OF ANOKA Public Services Division HIGHW 1440 BUNKER LAKE B N.W DEPARTMENT , (612) 862 -4200 FAX (612) 862 -4201 , ANDOVER MINNESOTA 55304 JANE K. PEMBLE, TRAFFIC ENGINEER DIRECT DIAL NUMBER (612) 8624231 July 14, 1998 Paul McDowell Northern Forest Products 2050 Main Street Centerville, MN. 55038 RE: Site Plan Northern Forest Products — Lots 5 & 6 — Industrial Park Dear Mr. McDowell: We have reviewed the site plan for access revisions to Northern Forest Products, located south of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and east of CR 54 (20`" Avenue) within the City of Centerville, and I offer the following comments: The original site plan review (8- 21 -95) requested an additional 10 feet of right -of -way adjacent to CSAH 14 for future reconstruction purposes (60 feet total width of right -of -way south of CSAH 14 right -of -way centerline). This did not occur when Lot 5 was developed. Anoka County Highway Department is again requesting that 10 additional feet of right -of -way adjacent to CSAH 14 be dedicated to Anoka County. An access scheme which included all lots within this industrial park was recommended to the city in the original site plan review (8- 21 -95) as part of the Northern Forest Products review. These recommendations _ were not followed and access to Lot 5 was not put within 30 feet of the east line. Access to Lot 6 was recommended within 30 feet of the west line. There is no record of an access permit being issued to Northern Forest Products for the access located on Lot 5. A site plan for development of Centerville Business Park on the north side of CSAH 14 has recently been submitted to this department which includes a local roadway connection to CSAH 14 adjacent to Lot 5. Since the unauthorized access to Lot 5 is not at the recommended location and does not line up directly opposite the proposed local roadway on the north side of CSAH 14 it is recommended that this access be relocated. It appears that Northern Forest Products owns both Lot 5 and 6. The Anoka County Highway Department would prefer a single access point to serve both lots. County Policy dictates that this access point shall: (1) line up directly opposite the local roadway on the north side of CSAH 14; or (2) be located at the common boundary between Lot 5 and 6. Anoka County Highway Department would like to work with the city and the developers on the north and south side of CSAH 14 to develop an acceptable access scheme for this area. Calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this site. The post- developed rate /volume of runoff must not exceed the pre - developed rate /volume of runoff for the 5 -year, 24 -hour storm, utilizing the "SCS Method" with a curve number determined using Group C soils as a minimum. If any work is to be performed within the county right -of -way, a permit is required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of any construction. Contact Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator for this department, for further information regarding the permit process. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
