We have reviewed a preliminary plan (sheet 6 of 9) for the above mentioned development, as
prepared by John Oliver & Associates, Inc. We have reviewed the concept plan with regard to
access/right-of--way issues for County State Aid Highway 19 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) Aright-of--way dedication of 70 feet from the center of CSAH 19 is required in
this area.
2) The proposed development will need to maintain existing drainage rates (i.e., the rate
at which storm water is discharged from the site must not increase). The City or
project developer will need to submit before/after hydraulic computations for both the
10 and 100 year rainfall events verifying that all existing drainage patterns and systems
affecting Wright County Highway right-of-way will be perpetuated.
3) An access permit will be required for the new access to CSAH 19. Aright-turn lane
and will be required to be constructed on CSAH 19 for the access, as well as traffic
signal system revisions. The geometric design for the revisions to the existing traffic
signal system should be coordinated with the City's engineer (S.E.H., Inc.) to make
sure lanes line up and the mast arm on the east side of CSAH 19 is out of the way of
the radius for the new right turn lane. Construction of the required turnlane and traffic
signal system revisions will be a condition of access to CSAH 19. Concrete curb &
gutter from the development should end at the CSAH 19 right of way line. Specific
layouts, highway sections, and other requirements for the turnlane will be identified in
the special conditions of the approved access permit. Please forward a completed
driveway permit application, and fee, to Bruce Leinonen, Permit Technician, of our
office.

4) All existing field entrances along CSAH 19 within the development frontage, shall be
removed, as a condition of the access permit.
5) A utility permit will be required for any utility work within the CSAH 19 right-of--way.
This will cover any sanitary, watermain, or storm sewer work within the CSAH 19
right-of-way. Specific requirements will be determined when a plan and utility permit
application are submitted to Bruce Leinonen, Permit Technician, of our office.
6) The northerly access to CSAH 19 for the development shall be a right in only
movement. A right turn lane will be required to be constructed for the northerly access
also. Any signing for this access that is proposed to be located within the CSAH 19
right-of-way must be approved by Bill Cordell, Senior Traffic Technician, of our
office.
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 763-682-7387.
Sincerely,
