We have received the preliminary plat for the above-mentioned development that consists of
the construction of a new bank (State Bank of Long Lake) at the NE quadrant of the
intersection of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 19 and 57th Street NE in Albertville. We
have reviewed the preliminary plat with regard to access and right-of-way issues only.
Aspects of storm drainage, street improvements, and grading internal to the plat must be
reviewed by the City Engineer for conformance to city standards.
We offer the following comments:
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 verify that all existing drainage
patterns and systems affecting Wright County Highway right-of--way will be
perpetuated.
2. No direct access to CSAH 19 from the site will be allowed. Access to the site
will be directly onto 57th Street NE.
All existing field and/or driveway entrances along CSAH 19 within the plat
frontage, shall be removed.
4. The right of way shown on the plat is adequate.

5. Aright-of--way permit will be required for any utility work within the CSAH
19right-of--way. This will cover any sanitary, watermain, or storm sewer
work within the CSAH 19right-of--way. Specific requirements will be
determined when a plan and right-of--way permit application are submitted to
Bruce Leinonen, Permit Technician, of our office.
6. The lane assignments shown on the plan for 57th Street NE suggest that the
traffic control signal system and/or roadway geometrics Leading up to CSAH
19 will need to be revised/reconstructed. Does the City have plans to do this
work in conjunction with this development, or will this be completed as part
of a separate City project?
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,
