The number of access points along CH 33 must be minimized and the access <br />point's chosen must serve the development of parcels on both sides of the roadway. Once access <br />is granted at this location we may be locked in on both sides of CH 33 for a possible four legged <br />intersection; it is likely no other access point will be allowed to CH 33 for this area, with the <br />exception of extending Smith Street to the north. Considering the limited site distance in this <br />area as well as the high ratio of truck traffic we will allow access to CH 33 with the following <br />conditions. <br />1. Pay the required permit and signage fees ($550). The public works department will install <br /> traffic signs. The developer must notify the public works department for installation. <br />2. A right turn lane is required at 207th Avenue and must be cOnstructed to MnDOT standards <br /> as listed on the detail. Be advised that this turn lane is located outside the boundary of the <br /> plat; there is only 33' of right of way. Before access permits will be granted we require a <br /> signed slope easement agreement with the affected landowners. <br /> We require 50' of right of way be granted in fee title to Sherburne County. <br /> The slopes of the access must be constructed at 1:6 within the right of way. <br /> The developer is responsible for drainage studies. If a cu!ve~ is necessary within the right of <br /> way of CH 33, it must have 1:6 safety aprons and grates. Both the cost of the culvert and the <br /> installation are the responsibility of the developer. <br /> Make all pavement-marking changes as necessary. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please call me at 241-7034 <br /> <br />Richard D.
