RE: Plan Review for Albert Villas, CSAH 18
City of Albertville
Dear Mr. Ginkel:
We have reviewed the preliminary utility plan and construction plan for the above mentioned
development that we received from you with your transmittal letter dated June 9, 2000. We
have reviewed the plans with regard to access to County State Aid Highway 18 for this project.
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) The reconstruction of this segment of CSAH 18 is in the County's five year
plan, anticipated for 2001. However, there is the possibility that this work may
not be completed until 2002. Therefore, proposed accesses that would be
constructed this year will be required to have turn lanes constructed this year
also. The 65 feet wide right-of-way dedication will allow room for utilities, turn
lanes, etc.
2) Access permits will be required for each new access proposed for CSAH 18.
Right turn and bypass lanes will be required to be constructed for each proposed
access. The right turn and bypass lane construction should be shown on the
plans (turn lane layouts are enclosed for your use). Culvert information should
be provided to demonstrate that an adequately sized RCP pipe is provided for
ditch drainage. The most northerly access of KahI Avenue and CSAH 18
should be moved to the north as far as possible to create as much spacine as
possible from the townhome access on the North side of CSAH 18. Please
submit the completed access permit application to Richard Marquette of our
office.

3) A utility permit will be required for the proposed utility work within the CSAH
18 right-of-way. This includes the sanitary, watermain, storm sewer work, and
construction of a bituminous pathway proposed within the CSAH 18 right-of-
way. No open cutting of CSAH 18 will be allowed. Jack boring of all utilities
crossing under CSAH 18 is required, consistent with the County's utility policy.
Please submit the completed utility permit application to the attention of Bill
Cordell of our office.
We trust that this information is helpful to you and if you have any questions or concerns
regarding the above coiinnents please call me at 763-682-7387.
Sincerely,
