ACHD would like to work with local governments in promoting compatibility between land use and the county highway system. It should be recognized that residential land uses located adjacent to county highways often results in complaints about traffic noise. Existing and/or future traffic noise from CSAH 54 could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use activities listed in the MPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC) where establishment of the land use would result in violations of established noise standards. It is advised that the City and the Developer should assess the noise situation for this development as it is proposed to be located directly adjacent to CSAH 54, and take the level of action deemed necessary to minimize the impact of any highway noise by incorporating the appropriate noise mitigation elements into the design and phasing of this plat as applicable. The ACHD Engineering Plan Review process will apply to this plat, with the plan review fee estimated at $1450.00 assuming that the turn lanes are constructed on CSAH 54 at Cedar Street, "Proposed Street A," and Birch Street. In addition to the CSAH 54 turn lane construction plans, drainage calculations must also be provided along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this development. The post -development rate/volume of runoff must not exceed the pre -developed rate/volume of runoff for the 10-year, critical design storm. Contact Gina Pizzo, Engineer III at 763.862.4248, email: Gina.Pizzo@co.anoka.mn.us with any questions and to coordinate the ACHD Engineering Plan Review process. Once the ACHD Engineering Plan Review Process in complete, the ACHD Permit process can begin. An Access Permit for the new "Proposed Street A" connection to CSAH 54 and a Permit for Work Within the County Right of Way are required and must be obtained by the contractor(s) completing the work prior to the commencement of any construction (Access Permit fee = $250.00; Permit for Work Within ROW=$150.00). Contact Terri Vaughan, Traffic Engineering Technician, at 763.862.4239, email: Terri.Vaughan@a,co.anoka.mn.us with any questions and to coordinate the ACHD Permit process. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this review. Jane K.
