Jones <br /> Site Plan Review S97-017 <br /> Southeast Quadrant of Trunk Highway(TH) 10 and Silver Lake Road <br /> • • Mounds View, Ramsey County <br /> CS 6204 <br /> The Minnesota Department of Transportation(Mn/DOT)has reviewed the D.W. Jones concept <br /> PUD. We apologize for the delay in responding to this submittal. We find the concept PUD • <br /> acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments. <br /> • Please submit the preliminary plat and final site plan for our review before any site <br /> development. We will not issue any permits until we have the opportunity to review these <br /> plans. <br /> • We also request the opportunity to review the drainage and grading plans before site <br /> development. We may require a Mn/DOT storm water drainage permit for the proposed <br /> development. Potential permit requirements include submittal of hydraulic computations and <br /> drainage area maps, showing before and after conditions and addressing 100-year storms. <br /> Existing drainage patterns and rates of runoff affecting Mn/DOT right of way should be <br /> perpetuated. The site's storm water discharge rate must not increase. Any questions <br /> regarding Mn/DOT drainage concerns may be directed to Gene Bovy of our Water <br /> Resources Section at 779-5053. Questions regarding the permit process may be directed to <br /> Lars Impola of our Permits Section at 582-1447. <br /> • We will require access permits for access to TH 10. We strongly oppose the proposal of four <br /> accesses to TH 10 between Silver Lake Road and the site's east limits. We constructed <br /> arterial highways such as TH 10 to serve regional mobility needs rather than to accommodate <br /> direct property access. Proliferation of accesses is inconsistent with the highway's purpose <br /> and reduces the highway's capacity and safety. Control and reduction of access is critical in <br /> reducing highway congestion, and are important factors in reducing accidents on highways. <br /> We strongly recommend that the project proposer consolidate accesses before our final plan <br /> review. <br /> An equal opportunity employer <br />
