• 111St <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> June 15, 1994 <br /> File: 230-232-11 <br /> Mr. Steve Ach <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Elk River <br /> CIVIL ENGINEERING 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> RE: COUNTRY CROSSINGS 2ND ADDITION <br /> MUNICIPAL <br /> Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> PLANNING <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the submittal for the Country Crossings 2nd Addition. The <br /> STRUCTURAL information submitted by John Oliver and Associates included a preliminary plat; preliminary <br /> grading, drainage, and erosion plan; and a preliminary utility plan. Based on our review, <br /> SURVEYING we would offer the following comments: <br /> TRAFFIC A. Preliminary Plat <br /> TRANSPORTATION 1. Consideration should be given to lining up the access on Mississippi Road <br /> with the existing road to the south. This will eliminate the offset intersection. <br /> This issue should also be reviewed by the County Engineer, Dave <br /> Schwarting. <br /> 2. We would recommend that Lot 6, Block 4, be squared off more to eliminate <br /> the narrow (39) back yard dimension. <br /> 3. The preliminary plat shows Orono Parkway on the north end of the plat with <br /> a 60-foot wide right-of-way. City Council is currently considering whether <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive or not the parkway concept should continue from its current location westerly <br /> St.Paul,MN 55108 to the intersection of Joplin Street. If the parkway concept continues to Joplin <br /> Street, it will be necessary to have it spill over to the west side of Joplin in <br /> 612-644-4389 order to make the geometries of the intersection work. If this is the case, a <br /> Fax:612-644-9446 slightly wider right-of-way for Orono Parkway will be needed immediately <br /> west of Joplin. It can then narrow down to the 60-foot proposed width. <br /> •9800 Shelard Parkway <br /> Minneapolis,MN 55441 <br /> 612-546-0432 <br /> Fax:612-544-6398 <br /> 230/232-1509.jun <br />
