In response to the j oint meetin held October 2, 2001 and Mn/DOT's review of the a revised site plan for
Wal we present the followin comments:
Mn/DOT will support Washin Count position of allowin the ri in/ri out onl off of
Os provided the fronta road is closed j ust south of this location. The submitted site plan does
show the developer installin curb and g utter and closin this fronta road. The developer will also
remove an unnecessar fronta road pavement and restore the area to an ade condition. The
site plan should reflect this.
As y ou know, Mn/DOT has easement over the trian of land located in the southwest section of the
proposed development. We are not willin to relin this until such time that we determine the
future need of this area. We will a to allow the developer to perform landscapin on this section.
However, it must be made clear that there is a possibilit of us needin this portion of land for future
hi development needs. And maintenance of an landscapin will be the responsibilit of the
developer.
We will also not allow the p si to be placed in this section and it should be moved to the
northerl position as shown. If y ou have an q uestions re an of the above issues please
contact Todd Clarkowski, Area En at (651) 582-1169.
As stated in our Ma 29, 2001 correspondence, an Access Permit will be re alon with a permit
to allow the work within Mn/DOT ri of wa This permit application should include a
"restoration" plan for the fronta road area. You ma contact Keith VanWa in our Permits
section at (651) 582-1443 to obtain the appropriate forms and g uidelines.
