This new school is to be constructed on Vadnais <br />Boulevard in the City of Vadnais Heights. Ramsey County would like to offer the following <br />comments regarding the proposed site plan and traffic study. <br />1. The proposed development will have minimal impact on traffic operations along Vadnais <br />Boulevard. The proposed school will generate approximately 513 trips per day with 73 in <br />the am peak hour and 36 in the pm peak hour. These levels can be accommodated on <br />Vadnais Boulevard. <br />The site plan identifies two access points onto Vadnais Boulevard. Location of the access <br />is critical. Vadnais Boulevard is heavily wooded and has changing horizontal alignment. <br />Based on a review of the available site distance the western driveway shown on the site <br />plan should be eliminated. The county will allow one access point off of Vadnais <br />Boulevard. That access point should be located as far east on the property as possible. <br />3. The shoulder will need to be widened to accommodate a right turn lane from Vadnais <br />Boulevard into the site access, The developer will need to provide appropriate signing <br />including a stop sign and right turn lane sign. <br />4. A peuuit will be required from Ramsey County for work within county right of way. <br />Please coordinate the permit with Bob Vezina at 651 -248 -0453. <br />Thanks for the opportunity to make comments regarding this issue. If you have any questions or <br />need any additional information please give me a call. <br />Cc: Tim Benetti — City of Vadnais Heights <br />Rick Bayless — B & B Development <br />-38- <br />Mimresota's First Home Rule County <br />p:mer r,11:11111 n _.“,,ffi. <br />
