<br />MEMO <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />January 4, 1999 <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Dennis Welsch, Community Development <br /> <br />Debra Bloom. Engineering ~ <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Amended PUD Expansion of Country Inn & Suites! Removal of Benjamin's <br />2905 Snelling Ave North <br /> <br />We have had an opportunity to review the PUD amendment plans for the expansion of the Country Inn & Suites at <br />2905 Snelling Ave. N. We would like to work with you on making this project the best proposal possible and have the <br />following engineering related comments. Since the question about the storm sewer design could impact Ihe <br />proposed site plan, it is difficult for engineering to make a positive recommendation for this proposed rezoning unt il <br />it is addressed. <br /> <br />Site Plan <br />1. In 1993 SEH prepared a Feasibility report for the Lincoln Drive Extension from Terrace Drive to Lydia r\venue, <br />This report had the follmving to say about the configuration of County Road C-2 between Lincoln Drive and <br />Snelling: "Left turns onto County Road C-2 from either the fyontage road or Benjamin's Restaurant wil! he <br />pennitted until such time as they create operational problems. The interim left turn lane and median opening <br />\vill remain in place until traffic volumes require two left turn lanes at Snel!ing Avenue. At that. t.ime the island <br />will be removed and a permanent island and lane arrangement \vill be inst.alled." The new island configuratiun <br />will close the median and make this site's access onto County Road C-2 a right- in! right- out:. There is nu <br />programmed date for this median closure. <br />2. The site plan shows that you are moving the driveway onto C- 2 approximately 20 feet to the north. The existing <br />drive is already at the minimum access spacing from Snelling. In looking at existing conditions for this site, we <br />discovered that this driveway is already out of alignment with the median opening and the Room & Buard drive <br />across the street. By shifting it to the north you create additional conflict points for exiting cars. Even though <br />this median will be closed in the future, it is important in the interim that the configuration be designed tu <br />minimize conflicts on the roadway. Please reevaluate the site plan and leave the driveway where it is today. <br /> <br />Gradine: Plan <br />1. Permits are required for all work within the Ramsey County right- 01'- way. Please make a note on the plans <br />regarding the contractor's responsibility to obtain these permits. <br /> <br />Utility Plan <br />1. Additional information on the storm sewer design should be provided. [t appears that the site impervious will <br />be increased by the building addition. We do not believe that the existing pond is adequately sized to handle the <br />additional runoff from this site. Please provide ponding calculations on the increase in runoff from your si te and <br />how that impacts the storage volumes of the pond across Lincoln Drive. <br /> <br />Erosion Control Plan <br />1. A detailed erosion control plan should be provided. A washed rock construction entrance should be installed at <br />construction street accesses. Tracking onto public streets should be held to a minimum with notes on street. <br />sweeping included on the plan. <br /> <br />I look forward to working with you on this proposed development.
