Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> RE: ELK RIVER RETAIL CENTER <br /> MUNICIPAL SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> PLANNING Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> STRUCTURAL As requested, we have reviewed the package of information submitted for the proposed Elk <br /> River Retail Center. The site is on the northeast corner of TH 169 and Elk Hills Drive. <br /> •SURVEYING Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: <br /> TRAFFIC A. SUBMITTAL <br /> TRANSPORTATION The information reviewed consisted of a site plan, grading and utilities plan, <br /> landscape plan, and site lighting plan prepared by Cluts O'Brien Strother Architects <br /> and were dated July 27, 1994. Also submitted was a traffic analysis prepared by <br /> Benshoof and Associates, Inc., dated August 4, 1994. <br /> B. TRAFFIC <br /> The proposed development consists of a restaurant of approximately 6,400 square <br /> feet, an auto service business of approximately 4,500 square feet, and two retail <br /> buildings totaling 18,800 square feet. Based on the traffic report, the total amount <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive of traffic expected to be generated in a 24-hour period is 2,652 trips. The PM peak <br /> St.Paul,MN 55108 hour traffic is expected to total approximately 239 trips. The traffic analysis <br /> concludes that a right turn lane should be added to southbound Dodge Avenue as it <br /> 612-644-4389 approaches Elk Hills Drive and also that the intersection of Elk Hills Drive and <br /> Fax:612-644-9446 Dodge Avenue should be converted to a 4-way stop condition. We would disagree <br /> with this conclusion at this point, based on the fact that we do not believe there is <br /> •9800 Shelard Parkway enough information to come to this conclusion. <br /> Minneapolis,MN 55441 <br /> 612-546-0432 <br /> Fax:612-544-6398 <br /> 230/245-1807.aug <br />
