OCT-23-1998 11 19 P.04/86 <br /> Elk River Planning Commission <br /> • October 23, 1998 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Additional right-of-way will likely be needed from the plat to accomplish <br /> these proposed roadway improvements <br /> c) The site plan shows a right-in/right-out along CSAH 12, between the main <br /> entrance and the intersection of Tyler Street and CSAH 12, at the east <br /> edge of the development. The Traffic Impact Analysis report indicates <br /> that this access point will operate at a level of service B. It does not <br /> indicate whether a right turn lane and/or short acceleration lane will be <br /> needed for its efficient operation. It should be pointed out that this access <br /> point does not meet Sherburne County's adopted guidelines for access <br /> onto County State Aid Highways. This access is also of concern to City <br /> staff. <br /> d) CSAH 12/Tyler Street <br /> This is the main intersection with the City's new north-south transportation <br /> corridor along the east side of this development. The design of this <br /> intersection meets or exceeds the recommendation contained within the <br /> Traffic Impact Analysis. The Traffic Impact Analysis indicates that a <br /> signal control will need to be installed once Elk Park Crossing begins to <br /> • near full development. We have anticipated this in the design of Tyler <br /> Street and CSAH 12, and conduits are being placed for the future <br /> signalization of this intersection. <br /> e) Tyler Street/South Development Access <br /> The design of Tyler Street at this location meets or exceeds the Traffic <br /> Impact Analysis recommendation for lane configuration. Specifically, <br /> there will be a dedicated left turn lane into the site, which exceeds the <br /> Traffic Impact Analysis recommendation. One thing that Elk River <br /> Crossing should consider is future residential development east of this <br /> location. We would anticipate that there would be a four-legged <br /> intersection at some point in the future. <br /> f) Service Entrance/Tyler Street <br /> The Traffic Impact Analysis is silent on this intersection, but the site plan <br /> does show a full access to the rear of the large commercial sites off of <br /> Tyler Street. Staff would recommend that a right-in/right-out be allowed <br /> at this point for service vehicles, but that the median remain intact to <br /> preclude left turns at this point. <br /> • <br /> Howard R.Green Company <br /> O:IPROJIB?0112j102401112-2101.oct.doc CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />
