<br />Metropolitan District <br />1500 County Road B2 West <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />An equal opportunity employer <br /> <br />April 25, 2018 <br /> <br />Joel Hanson <br />Little Canada City Center <br />515 Little Canada Road East <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Caribou Coffee <br />MnDOT Review #S18-031 <br />SW quad I-35E and Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Ramsey County <br /> Control Section 6280 <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Joel Hanson, <br /> <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has reviewed the plans for the proposed Caribou Coffee <br />development and has the following comments: <br /> <br />Planning: <br />Since this development involves a change in use, an access permit will be required. This development will require <br />further review if it proceeds. Please submit revised plans addressing the comments in the following sections. <br /> <br />For questions concerning these comments please contact Jennifer Wiltgen at 651-234-7788 or <br />Jennifer.wiltgen@state.mn.us <br /> <br />Design: <br />Please use MnDOT Standard Plan 5-297.254, Driveway and Sidewalk Details design for the access (attached). <br />The development may also require a Level 2 layout review process if lane modifications are involved. The <br />following website provides layout design guidance and identifies layout requirements: <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/design/geometric/index.html <br /> <br />The first link under Guidance is helpful, as well as the Design Resources tab. <br /> <br />Please contact Nancy Jacobson at 651-234-7647 or nancy.l.jacobson@state.mn.us with any questions. <br /> <br />ADA Design: <br />Please use MnDOT’s ADA Standard Legend (http://www.dot.state.mn.us/ada/pdf/legend.pdf). Attached is a <br />marked-up plan sheet with changes that need to be made. It is recommended that some of the existing signal <br />components are changed to fit what is actually there, and relocating or removing one of the signal pedestals would <br />help the usability of the map. <br /> <br />For questions on these comments please contact Joe Zilka at 651-366-3311 or joseph.zilka@state.mn.us. <br /> <br />Signal Design/Signal Operations: <br />MnDOT concurs with the Ramsey County letter regarding the methodologies and analysis of the Traffic Impact <br />Study and MnDOT does not see capacity or level of service issues with the development. However, MnDOT will <br />need to review the detailed signal modifications needed to accommodate the development. This includes new <br />mast arms, signal heads, loop detection, cabinet and controller modifications, and ADA improvements, before <br />commenting further on the proposed changes to the signal. <br /> <br /> <br />3
