V� <br />o��NNesorq <br />n° !Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />o� Transportation Building, St. Paul, MN 55155 <br />Q <br />�r OF TRP�� <br />March 30, 1987 Phone 296-870 7 <br />Craig Waldron <br />Economic Development Director - <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />Re: Rosewood Corporate Center <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) <br />District 9 (Roseville, Ramsey Co.) <br />Dear Mr. Waldron: <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation !Mn/DOT) has completed a <br />review of the above -referenced EAW and offers the following <br />comments. Although no Mn/DOT permits were listed in item 11 of the <br />EAW, utility. and/or drainage permits may be required before <br />construction adjacent to Mn/DOT right-of-way can begin. The proposer <br />should contact Don Fashant, Permits Officer at Mn/DOT's District <br />Office in Oakdale, phone number 779-1141 to determine the required <br />permits. Any anticipated effects tii,, project will have on our <br />transportation facilities will need to be resolved as specified in <br />the permit restrictions. <br />In regard to the Traffic Analysis Report, Mn/DOT has serious <br />objections to the proposed freeway "slip -off" ramp discussed in <br />section 7.0. The proposed slip -off ramp provides increased access <br />to the site without providing for comparable capacity leaving the <br />site. Failure to accommodate the return movement will encourage <br />excess density and subsequent local street system overload. These <br />impacts could unfairly constrain development on neighborhing <br />parcels. <br />Other discussion in section 7.0 regarding the slip -off ramp states <br />that a detailed review process as outlined by the Metropolitan <br />Council's Metropolitan Highway Interchange Process for the <br />additional' ramp would have to be followed before the ramp access <br />could be approved. Mn/DOT feels that the additional ramp would not <br />meet the first five of the seven general criteria that must be met <br />before any consideration of other criteria can proceed. <br />Specifically, there is no mention of a slip -off ramp in the City of <br />Roseville's 1980 Comprehensive Plan or any updates/amendments the <br />district has on file as required by criterion #1. <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
