SUBJECT: Four Corners Second Edition Preliminary Plat
MnDOT Review#P 19-002
NW quad of I-94 and CSAH 15 (Manning Ave N)
City of Lake Elmo, Dakota County
Dear Mr. Roberts:
MnDOT has reviewed the preliminary plat received 1/31/19 for the Four Corners Second Edition project
in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before further development, please
address the following:
Design
The preliminary plat shows the relocation of the frontage road(Hudson Blvd) and its intersection with
CSAH 15 (Manning Ave N) within the MnDOT right-of-way, which extends several hundred feet north
of 1-94 along Manning Ave. Roadway configuration changes of this magnitude require a Level 2 layout,
as noted in MnDOT's review of the EAW for the Manning Avenue Corridor Management and Safety
Improvement Project (see MnDOT comment letter of 12/21/2016 attached).
MnDOT layout design guidance and layout requirements are provided at:
hqp://www.dot.state.mn.us/design/geometric/index.html. Please direct questions regarding roadway
design to Jeff Rones of MnDOT's Metro District Design Section at 651-234-7647 or
Jeff.Rones(a),state.mn.us.
Traffic
MnDOT strongly recommends that the city require a traffic impact study(TIS)to be performed, as the
traffic volumes associated with the proposed development and uses are significant(likely exceeding
15,000 AADT) and meet MnDOT warrants for a TIS (2,500 or more new daily vehicle trips).
See Chapter 5 of MnDOT's Access Management Manual for TIS guidance:
www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagement/docs/pdf/manualchapters/chapter5.pdf.
Please direct questions regarding traffic to Kaare Festvog of MnDOT's Metro District Traffic
Engineering Section at 651-234-7814 or Kaare.Festvog(a,state.mn.us.
Right-of-Way
The 60' drainage way shown on the future Lot 1 labeled"PARCEL No. 44 (TO BE VACATED BY MN
DOT)"is currently owned in fee by MnDOT. Therefore, MnDOT will need to convey fee ownership of
the parcel to the owner. Please contact Jennifer Matti in MnDOT's Metro District Surveys Section at
651-234-3474 or Jennie.Bailey(astate.mn.us regarding acquisition of the drainage way.

Drainage
A MnDOT drainage permit will be required to ensure that current drainage rates to MnDOT right-of-
way will not be increased. MnDOT's Drainage Permits Checklist is attached. The drainage permit
application is available online at: https://dotapp7.dot.state.mn.us/OLPA and requires the following
information:
1. A grading plan showing existing and proposed contours.
2. Drainage area maps for the proposed project showing existing and proposed drainage areas.
Any off-site areas that drain to the project area should also be included in the drainage area
maps. The direction of flow for each drainage area must be indicated by arrows.
3. Drainage computations for pre- and post-construction conditions during the 2-, 10-, 50- and
100-year rain events.
4. Time of concentration calculations.
5. An electronic copy of any computer modeling used for the drainage computations.
6. See also the attached Drainage Permits Checklist for more information.
The application should be submitted to:
MnDOT—Metropolitan District Permit Office
1500 West County Road B-2
Roseville, MN 55113
MnDOT will perform a thorough review of the application and request any additional information that
may be needed. For questions,please contact Bryce Fossand of MnDOT's Metro District Water
Resources Section at 651-234-7529 or Bryice.Fossand(&,,state.mn.us.
Permits/NVo Impacts to Interstate Highway
In addition to the drainage permit, any other work affecting or impacting MnDOT right of way on
Manning Ave N will require a permit. No work within or impacts to the I-94 right-of-way will be
allowed. Permit forms are available from MnDOT's utility website:
hqp://www.dot.state.mn.us/utility/forms.html. Please include one 11"x17"plan set and one full size plan
set with each permit application.
Please direct questions regarding these requirements to Buck Craig of MnDOT's Metro District Permits
Section at 651-234-7911 or Buck.Craig(a,state.mn.us.
