RE: Sketch Plan Review for Proposed K.C. Land Company Development
CSAH 18, City of Albertville
Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, and Planning Commission Members:
We have reviewed the sketch plan for the above mentioned development that we received from
E.G. Rud & Sons Land Surveyors on July 19, 1999. We have reviewed the sketch plan with
regard to access to County State Aid Highway 18 only. Aspects of internal drainage; street
improvements, and grading internal to the development should be reviewed by the City
Engineer for conformance to city standards. We offer the following comments.
1) A right of way dedication of 60 feet from the center of CSAH 18 will be
required. The reconstruction of this segment of CSAH 18 is in the County's
five year plan, scheduled for 2000 or 2001. The 60 feet wide right-of-way
dedication will allow room for utilities, turnlanes, and possibly even a
bituminous pathway, depending on the CSAH 18 grading design.
2) Access permits will be required for each new access proposed for CSAH 18.
Access locations must meet the County's access spacing guidelines which are
1320 feet between accesses for low volume, non-continuous streets. The
proposed access locations will be required to line up across from the existing
Cedar Creek townhome development street accesses, for safety. Right turn and
bypass lanes will be required to be constructed for each proposed access.
Specific requirements will be identified on the approved permit.
3) A utility permit will be required for any utility work within the CSAH 18 right-
of-way. This will cover any sanitary, watermain, storm sewer work, or
construction of a bituminous pathway within the CSAH 18 right-of-way.

RE: Sketch Plan Review for Proposed K.C. Land Company Development
CSAH 18, City of Albertville
Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, and Planning Commission Members:
We have reviewed a revised sketch for the above mentioned development that we received from E.G.
Rud & Sons Land Surveyors on August 2, 1999. We have reviewed the sketch plan with regard to access
to County State Aid Highway 18 only. We offer the following comments, in addition to previous
comments made in our July 29, 1999 letter.
1) A right of way dedication of 65 feet, not 60 feet, from the center of CSAH 18 will be
required. The reconstruction of this segment of CSAH 18 is in the County's five year
plan, scheduled for 2000 or 2001. The 65 feet wide right-of-way dedication is required
due to a possible slight. aJignment shift of the highway.
2) The revised sketch is acceptable with regard to access spacing, as the most easterly
access will align with the existing townhome access. An access will not be allowed in the
future in between the two proposed accessess of this development. The future
development of the land in between these two accesses will be required to connect
internally to the streets in this development.
We trust that this information is helpful to you and if you have any questions or concerns regarding the
above comments please call me at 682-7387.
