COUNTY OF ANOKA Public Services Division HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD. N.W., ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 -4005 (763) 862 -4200 FAX (763) 862 -4201 RECEIVED NOV 0 6 CITY OF LINO LAKES October 30, 2013 Katie Larsen City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 -1182 Re: Final Plat - Alino Addition Dear Katie, We have reviewed the Final Plat of Alino Addition, to be located in the northwest quadrant of CSAH 14 (Main Street) at 21st Avenue N. within the City of Lino Lakes, and I offer the following comments: It is our understanding that this plat is for the proposed Metro Transit Park & Ride in the future. This section of CSAH 14 was recently reconstructed, and consequently, the existing right of way adjacent to CSAH 14 should be adequate for future purposes (existing right of way = 75ft north of CSAH 14 centerline). It is our understanding that all access for this site is to be made via 21st Avenue N. with no new access points onto CSAH 14, which is consistent with county policy and is acceptable to this department. The right of access along CSAH 14 should consequently be dedicated to Anoka County through the platting process for this site. If there are any existing field entrances to CSAH 14 within the boundaries of this plat, they are to be removed and the boulevard area restored to match the existing adjacent depth, slope, and grade. It appears that there may be deficiencies for the Case I Intersection Sight Distance Requirements at the CSAH 14 /21st Avenue N. intersection due to a berm located in the sight triangle. The City/Developer should ensure that all applicable sight distance requirements are met to the fullest extent possible for any development on this site. For future reference, please note no signs or plantings will be permitted within the county right of way, and care must be exercised when locating buildings, structures, plantings, berms, etc. outside of the county right of way, so as not to create additional sight distance obstructions within this section of CSAH 14. When a site plan is prepared for this development, the ACHD Engineering Plan Review process can take place. Calculations must be provided at that time, along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this site. The post - development rate /volume of runoff must not exceed the pre- developed rate /volume of runoff for the 10 -year, critical design storm. An ACRD Engineering Plan Review fee estimated at $150.00 will apply for this development. Contact Gina Pizzo, Engineer III at 763 - 862 -4248, email: Gina.Pizzo(a�co.anoka.mn.us with any questions regarding the ACHD Engineering Plan Review process. Following completion of the ACHD Engineering Plan Review Process, if any work is performed within the county right of way, the ACRD Permit Process can begin, a permit is required and it must be obtained prior to the commencement of any construction (permit to work within the county ROW = $150.00). Contact Terri Vaughan, Traffic Engineering Technician, at 763 - 862 -4239, email: Terri.Vaughan(a)co.anoka.mn.us for further information regarding the ACHD Permit Process.
