REVISED PLANS FOR WALGREENS DEVELOPMENT, OSGOOD AVENUE NORTH (CSAH
24)- PLANS DATED 10/04/01
Dear Ms. Danielson:
We have reviewed the revised plans for the Wal store on Os Avenue, north of TH 36.
Shortl after receivin the plans, I also discussed the north access point with John Kohler, as it
ma need to be revised to accommodate parkin at the dental office.
The ri onl access that is shown on the drawin is acceptable to Washin Count if the
fronta road is closed. It will re a permit, which can be obtained throu me.
The northerl access point ma need to be moved sli south to accommodate the parkin
needs of the dental office. Our concerns there are twofold: we want to ensure that the
commercial access can be ali with the future reali of the TH 36 fronta road and we
want to ensure that drivers enterin the dental office are separated from those exitin the
Wal store. The current plans show what appears to be an acceptable desi but it is not
clear how it relates to the dental office parkin area. The dental office must be shown on the plan
in sufficient detail for us to anal how the drivewa will function and to enable Dr. Kalinoff and
nis tenants to determine it it is acceptable to Lhem. I am confident that we can work out these
details, but the are crucial to the safe operation of the access. A permit is re for the
access revisions here, also.
Please call me at 651-430-4312 if y ou have q uestions or comments.
