(U.S. 169) <br />Haugland Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Site Plan <br />Sherburne County, Minnesota <br />Dear Mr. Leeseberg: <br />Office Phone: 218-828-5700 <br />Fax: 218-828-5814 <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 />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 />
