County Road J is under the joint jurisdiction of Anoka and Ramsey Counties. Since the <br />development is in Anoka County, we will defer to their judgment on questions of access and right of <br />way dedication, but we would like to point out that the following access are present and the operation <br />of the proposed access, approximately 280 feet west of the centerline of Hodgson Road and its <br />interaction with them should be considered as the development proceeds (all measurements are <br />approximate and are measured from the centerline of Hodgson Road): <br />o Convenience Store (south side): ± 95 feet <br />o Saint Albans Street (south side): +455 feet <br />o Woodridge Lane (north side): ± 755 feet <br />These spacings do not conform to the access spacing standards of Anoka County or the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation (MN/DOT). Ramsey County does not have an accepted set of access <br />spacing standards, but when development occurs, we attempt to bring access spacing into <br />conformance with the standards of the MN /DOT Access Management Manual. We urge the City to <br />work with the Anoka County staff to determine how best to accommodate access for this <br />development and ask to be kept informed as it progresses_ <br />We appreciate the opportunity to comment and hope that this development will revitalize this comer. Please <br />contact me at 651 - 266 -7114 or by e -mail at Loseph.lux(a�co.ramsey.mn.us with any questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />seph lux <br />Transportation Planner <br />C: Jack Corkle, Senior Transportation Planner, Anoka County <br />Jane Rose, Transportation Engineer, Anoka County <br />Kathleen Nordine, City Planner, City of Shoreview <br />• <br />
