Dear Mr. Dirlam:
This letter is to confirm our telephone conversation of today's date
concerning sigrage on Interstate 94 in the Albertville area (exits
Wright County 19 & 37).
As we discussed the City of Albertville working cooperatively with Coher.
Companies, JMJ Properties, SHiers LLC and Darkenwald Real Estate are
planning to build approximately 500,000 to 600,000 square feet of retail/
shopping mall space at the Interstate 94 and Wright County Road 19
location. The construction is to start the summer/fall of 1996 with
various phases beir_g ready by 1997.
Our situatior. relates to the unique access points in Albertville. We
have a full interchange at Wright County Road 37 and a half diamond at
Wright County 19 which is the half accessible from the northwest (St. Cloud)
direction.
What we are requesting is your cooperation and guidance in developing
a sigrage plan that directs the motorists from the freeway at both
Wright County 37 & 19 to the Coun*_y Rcads. Wrigh*_ County will then
assist with the special directional signage on its roads.
Please review the attached map and then consider how we may address
what appears to be a growing need and one that we hope to plan for
in a proactive mode. I look forward to working with you. Thank you
in advance for your time.
Sincerely, ~ ~
