We have reviewed the following information related to this <br />application: <br /> <br />• Conditional Use Permit Submittal dated August 5, 2022 by Larson Engineering, Inc. <br />• Stormwater Calculations dated August 3, 2022 by Larson Engineering, Inc. <br /> <br />Based on the review of the documents, we offer the following Engineering comments related to <br />this application: <br /> <br />General/Access <br /> <br />1. The subject property is located east of Forest Boulevard/US Highway 61 between 150th and <br />152nd Streets. <br /> <br />2. Access will occur using the existing entrances from Forest Boulevard/US Highway 61. Two <br />of the 4 total entrances are proposed to be removed. <br /> <br />3. The applicant has provided sidewalk easement to accommodate a future sidewalk north to <br />Francesca Avenue. Additional easement may need to be obtained from the property owners <br />to the north. The applicant has indicated they intend to work with the property to the north to <br />implement the construction of the sidewalk connecting to Francesca Avenue. <br /> <br />4. Detailed comments have been provided on the plans and sent to the applicants engineer so <br />they can be addressed in future submittals. <br /> <br />5. MnDOT has reviewed the proposed development related to impacts on TH 61 and provided <br />a letter to the City dated October 19th. Several comments regarding pedestrian <br />improvements, traffic flow accessing TH 61, and signing were provided. A copy of this letter <br />is attached to this memo along with a response memo from the applicant. Staff, MNDOT, <br />and the applicant will schedule a meeting to discuss further.

There is an increase in traffic generated by the proposed change in land use, however it is <br />minor. The proposed increase in traffic will not adversely impact the overall transportation <br />system. <br /> <br /> <br />
