This letter is to confirm that we have reviewed the preliminary plans prepared by your company, dated 8/21/00.
We have reviewed the plans with regard to access to CSAH 19 only. Improvements internal to the site should be
reviewed and approved by the City of Albertville's engineer for conformance to City standards. We offer the
following comments:
1) An access permit will be required for the proposed new access onto CSAH 19.
2) The geometric design for the revisions to the existing access should be coordinated with the City's
engineer (S.E.H., Inc.) who is working on plans for a traffic control signal at the mall access road and
CSAH 19.
3) The existing raised concrete median on CSAH 19 will be required to be extended to the North
approximately 70 to 75 feet to prevent left turns into the proposed new access onto CSAH 19.
4) Signing for the proposed new access, in addition to the internal signing shown on the plan, will be installed
by the County and be reimbursed by the developer. The proposed new access will function as an "exit
only" with the following signing:
a) "Do Not Enter" signs will be placed on each side of the access, facing CSAH 19.
b) "No Left Turn" or "One Way" sign will be placed on the raised concrete median, facing
the new access.
c) "No U-Turn" sign will be placed at the end of the extended raised concrete median.
The access permit should submitted to Richard Marquette of our office for processing. Please call me at 763-682-
7387 if you have any questions or require further information.
Sincerely,
Virgil G. Hawkins, P.E.
