Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: ELK RIVER CROSSING REVIEW <br /> Dear Planning Commissioner: <br /> After the initial Planning Commission review of the Elk River Crossing Development at the <br /> October 27, 1998 meeting, the developer has submitted a revised packet of drawings. The <br /> packet we reviewed was printed on December 1, 1998 and had a latest revision date of <br /> • <br /> November 30, 1998 on several of the sheets. The plan set had 8 pages consisting of a title <br /> sheet, boundary survey, existing conditions, preliminary development plan, preliminary plat, <br /> preliminary grading and drainage plan, preliminary utility plan and wetland fill/mitigation plan. <br /> In an effort to avoid redundancy and repetitiveness, we will only comment on engineering issues <br /> and only on those items that have changed since the initial review at the October 27, 1998 <br /> meeting. For reference, we have attached a copy of our October 23, 1998 initial review of this <br /> project. <br /> Based on our review in meetings with the developer and his engineers, we would offer the <br /> following comments on the revised plans: <br /> A. PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN <br /> • The right-in-right-out along County Road 12 has been removed <br /> • The full access along Tyler Street to the rear of the major tenants has been <br /> modified to be a right-in right-out only <br /> • The southern entrance into the site off of Tyler Street still shows a median <br /> across the access point; however, this access point is intended to be full <br /> access with a left turn lane off of Tyler turning into the shopping center <br /> • Lot 1 and 2 in the northwest corner of the site are now shown to have a <br /> common driveway <br /> • The 6,000 square foot retail store labeled Retail "B" should be on a free <br /> • standing lot <br /> o.proj./112-1601.dec <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 612/644-4389 fax 612/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
