We find the plan acceptable for further development with consideration of the <br />llowing comments. <br />We will not allow the proposed access to TH 10 because of safety concerns. The proposed <br />access is only 150 feet from the TH 10/County Road I intersection. A distance of 480 feet is <br />required to accommodate a right turn lane with a taper for this access. The site has adequate <br />and safe access via County Road I. <br />Regional policy developed by the Metropolitan Council discourages direct access to minor <br />arterials from individual properties. The emphasis of TH 10 is to serve mobility as opposed <br />to direct land access. Access to County Road I is more appropriate. <br />Regional policy advocates land access management and control as tools in ensuring that <br />minor artenials continue to operate efficiently and effecrively. As one goal of the City's <br />Focus 2000, initial highway corridor improvements have focused on a bike/pedestrian trail <br />adjacent to TH 10. The future trail and safety of its users must strongly be evaluated when <br />considering pIans with direct properiy access to TH 10. <br />We may require a NIn/DOT stormwater drainage permit for the proposed development. <br />Please submit a�ading/drainage plan for our review prior to site construction. This plan <br />must include hydraulic computations and drainage area maps, showing existing and <br />proposed conditions and addressing 100-year storms. Existing drainage patterns and rates of <br />nu�off affecting TH 10 right of way must be perpetuated. Any questions regarding Mn/DOT <br />drainage concerns may be directed to Gene Bovy of our Water Resources Section at 779- <br />�0�3. <br />An equal opportunity employer <br />
