(U.S. 169) <br /> Haugland Conditional Use Permit(CUP)Site Plan <br /> Sherburne County,Minnesota <br /> Dear Mr.Leeseberg: <br /> The Minnesota Department of Transportation(MnDOT)has reviewed the above-referenced site plan <br /> and would like to offer the following comments/recommendations: <br /> 1. The site plan shows the applicant adding ten feet of pipe in MnDOT right of way. MnDOT will <br /> need to determine and inform the applicant on how much pipe is necessary prior to installation. <br /> Additionally,the current apron might not meet the new requirement,which calls for a safety <br /> apron. This may also be an opportunity to realign the driveway entrance to a 90 degree angle <br /> with U.S.Highway 169 to improve a possible site restriction. <br /> 2. The curb and gutter will not be allowed to extend into State right of way. <br /> 3. MnDOT will review the hydraulics of the area to ensure the applicant is not bringing more water <br /> into our drainage system,either in volume or defined directional capacity. <br /> 4. At this time,the in-place right-turn lane will not have to be extended. However,if traffic <br /> volumes increase for the business or if traffic issues arise in the future,safety improvements <br /> deemed necessary by MnDOT's District 3 Traffic Engineer will need to be constructed at no cost <br /> to the State. <br /> 5. A permit is required to perform any work in the right of way. Contact mark Renn,District 3 <br /> Permits Supervisor,at 320/223-6522 for additional information. <br /> If you have any further questions or comments,please call me at 218/828-5780. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jon Mason <br /> Senior Planner <br /> min <br /> cc: MnDOT District 3 Entrance Group(electronic) <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> era <br />
