CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />e .".,,_ Maier Stewart & Associates Inc. <br /> <br />August 13, 1993 <br /> <br />File: 230-193-11 <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Ach <br />City Planner <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: ELK RIVER CREDIT UNION SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the site plan for the Elk River Credit Union. Our review <br />consisted primarily of two major issues, one being the traffic flow through the site, and the other <br />. being the drainage considerations. We have also made a visit to the site to inspect the premises. <br />Based on our review of the site plan and our site visit, we offer the following comments. <br /> <br />1. TRAFFIC <br /> <br />· The circulation pattern and aisle width appears to be fine. <br />· The proposed one-way driveway off of Jackson Street to service the drive-up <br />window should be well signed at the Jackson Street entrance. This will eliminate <br />the potential of cars wanting to access the parking lot rather than the drive-up <br />window being caught in a line of cars \Witing for their turn at the drive-up <br />window. <br />· The handicap ramp access to the building meets the parking lot at the southwest <br />corner. This is also the location where traffic accessing the drive-up window <br />protrudes around the building. This poses a potential conflict area, although it is <br />unlikely that there will be significant opportunity for this type of conflict. <br />· A raised concrete median on the west side of the handicapped parking stall would <br />assist in eliminating vehicles cutting the corner as they come around the west side <br />of the building. This would help to keep vehicles in the traffic lane and eliminate <br />potential conflict. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST.
