Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: COUNTRY CROSSINGS BUSINESS CENTER PRELIMINARY PLAT <br />AND SHOPPING CENTER <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the information submitted for the Country Crossings <br />Business Center preliminary plat and the shopping center proposed on Lot 1 Block 1. The <br />information we received relative to the plat consisted of a preliminary plat, Preliminary <br />Utility Plan, and Preliminary Grading Plan, all prepared by John Oliver and Associates, <br />and dated December 27, 1994. For the proposed shopping center, we received a <br />Preliminary Site and Utility Plan and Preliminary Grading Plan also prepared by John <br />Oliver and Associates, and dated December 27, 1994. In addition, we received a <br />Comprehensive Drainage Study for the area, again prepared by John Oliver and Associates, <br />dated December 23, 1994. Based on" our review of these documents, we would offer the <br />following comments: <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />PRELIMINARY PLAT <br /> <br />The major issue concerning the preliminary plat is the alignment of Business Center <br />Drive and the right-of-way widths for the eastern portion of Business Center Drive <br />and the northern portion of Joplin Street. On the west end of Business Center <br />Drive, the right-of-way alignment intersects with the west plat boundary at a jog in <br />the MnDOT right-of-way. In other words, if the right-of-way were continued <br />westerly from the plat boundary, it would be partially within MnDOT right-of-way <br />because the right-of-way is wider west of this proposed plat. Therefore, we would <br />recommend that the alignment of Business Center Drive be brought slightly farther <br />to the south so that the north right-of-way line of Business Center Drive aligns with <br />the south right-of-way line of TH 10. <br /> <br />230/259-1905.jan <br />
