Elk River Crossing 5th Addition October 12,2004 Page 2 could access from Industrial Circle where industrial traffic is expected, rather than 179th Avenue where vehicle traffic utilizing the commercial establishments is expected. 4. With this proposed rezoning to provide two fairly large commercial sites where one smaller commercial site was originally laid out,there will be a significant increase in the amount of left turns off 179th Avenue into both lots. We would recommend that as a condition of any rezoning,the plat be required to pay$15,000 for the re-striping of 179th Avenue/Zane Street to a three-lane configuration with a center left turn lane. Currently, Zane Avenue and 179th Avenue are striped with two southbound lanes and one northbound lane. We believe that a three-lane configuration with a center left turn lane will operate much more efficiently with commercial left turn opportunities to both sides of the roadway. 5. There is an existing drainage and utility easement shown on the preliminary plat, but not called out. This is located in the northeast corner. There is currently a storm drainage ponding facility constructed in this drainage and utility easement for the portion of the plat which falls within Elk River Crossing. The portion of the plat which currently falls in Elk River Business Park has a different drainage concept with storm water being collected and conveyed further south to a larger regional pond. Although there is existing storm drainage facilities to handle the runoff from this entire area,it will be important to determine that the amount of drainage flowing to each system is consistent with the original design. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call. Sincerely, Terry J. Maurer,P.E. City Engineer S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2004\P 04-22 E R Crossing 5th\Engineers memo.doc
