• Highway Department and the necessary permit for the second driveway has been approved (see attached letter from County Highway Dept.). The County has indicated that County Road 33 will be rebuilt from Highway 169 to Proctor Road. Improvements will include upgrading the road and possibly lowering the hill to improve visibility towards the west. The applicant will be working with the County on placing the driveway in such a location that a safe sight distance can be obtained. The county is requiring a right turn lane for the new access and recommending that one be constructed at the existing access. Site improvements include paving and landscaping the area between the building and County Road 33. The applicant is proposing to phase these improvements over three years (see attached phasing plan). Paving and curbing the entrances and landscaping will be included in the first phase. Interior paving will be included in the second phase. A small area between the existing concrete parking lot and the gravel bins will make up the third • phase. If the existing gravel bins are eliminated, the area included in phase 3 will be landscaped instead of paved. The area to the east of the drive aisle that services the new aggregate bins will be left as open space. The phasing schedule was based on when the County will complete the • renovations to County Road 33. At the present time the new design for the road is being worked on and work should be completed sometime during this fall. Given those time constraints, July of next year seemed to be a reasonable time for completing phase 1; phase 2 would be completed by July 1, 1999 and phase 3 by July 1, 2000. Recommendation 1. SITE IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE COMPLETED IN 3 PHASES AS SHOWN ON THE PHASING PLAN. PHASE ONE SHALL BE COMPLETED BY JULY 1, 1998, PHASE 2 BY JULY 1, 1999 AND PHASE 3 BY JULY 1, 2000. 2. LANDSCAPING WILL BE COMPLETED AS PART OF PHASE 1 3. PER SHERBURNE COUNTY RECOMMENDATION, RIGHT TURN LANES SHALL BE PROVIDED AT THE EXISTING ENTRANCE AND THE PROPOSED NEW ACCESS. 4. THE EXTERIOR OF THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THE PROPOSED NEW BLOCK PRODUCTION BUILDING WILL MATCH THE EXTERIOR OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. 5. THE EAST ENTRANCE BE PAVED AND PROVIDED WITH CURB AND GUTTER. THE CURB AND GUTTER SHOULD BE CONTINUED BACK TO A LINE THAT IS PARALLEL TO THE FRONT OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND INCLUDE THE CONNECTION WITH THE PLAISTED FACILITY. THE PAVING SHOULD BE EXTENDED SO THAT IT CONNECTS WITH 411 THE PAVED AREA CURRENTLY USED AS EMPLOYEE PARKING AND INCLUDE THE AREA AROUND THE AGGREGATE BINS IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE.
