RAMSEY <br />Public Works <br />August 7, 2018 <br />COUNTY <br />Justin Gese <br />5EH <br />10901 Red Circle Drive,. Suite 300 <br />Minnetonka, MN 55343 <br />Re: Gem Lake riy-Vee Traffic Impact Study <br />Dear Mr. Gese, <br />Thank you for the opporrtunity to comment on the proposed Hy-Vee C-Stare Traffic Study in the City of <br />Gem Lake. We have reviewed the traffic study and proposed layout and have the following comments: <br />• The new Hy-Vee site will generate approximately 30 right turns.anto Hoffman Rd from County <br />Road E. Future development at the nursery site will generate additional traffic to warrant a <br />right turn lane on. County Road E. The County requests the developer de0leate right. ofway for a <br />future 12' wide right turn lane. In addition to the right turn lane, a 6-foot sidewalk with a 5 foot <br />boulevard should. be constructed along County Road. Approximately 25 feet of right of way <br />should be dedicated along.County Road E for the.turn lane and sidewalk. The sidewalk and <br />future turn lane should.be preliminarily designed to ensure adequate right of way dedication.. <br />• The location of the northeast.driveway onto Hoffman Road is very close to. the.County Road.E <br />access. To improve access management and spacing, the driveway should be shifted further <br />southwest. <br />• The traffic study presents overall level of service at the intersections. It is also important to <br />understand if there a re: any.individual movements that fail as. part of the proposed Hy-Vee yr <br />future development. If there are any -failures, possible mitigation alternatives should be, <br />considered. <br />Sincerely, <br /><2��-tcnr� <br />Erin Laberee, PE <br />Traffic Engineer <br />1425. Paul.
