BOX 490 <br />612-644-4389 Elk River, MN 55330-1900 <br />1-800.888-2923 <br />Fax: 612.644-9446 RE: OUTLOT A BRENTWOOD ADDITION <br />SKETCH PLAN REVIEW <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br />As requested, we have reviewed the sketch plan for Outlot A of the Brentwood Addition. <br />The plan shows a single user with a building size of 119,000 square feet. It is our <br />understanding that this review is relative to a .rezoning request and will be rather cursory <br />in nature. If in fact the property is rezoned, a much more detailed site plan would be <br />submitted and at that time a more detailed review would be performed. Based on the <br />information we have received, we offer the following comments: <br />CIVII ENGINEERING: <br />ENVIRONMENTAL 1. Traffic - <br />MUNICIPAI <br />PLANNING <br />ouD WASTE Generally speaking, a building of this size assuming it to be some type of free <br />sreuauRAL standing discount store will generate between $,000-10,000 vehicle trips per day. <br />SURVEYING A vehicle coming t0 the building, and ultimately leaving the building is considered <br />TRAFFIC two trips. During the average weekday p.m. peak hour, this type of facility would <br />TRANSPORTATION generate 750-900 vehicle trips. The site is shown to have a direct link to the 197th <br />Avenue and TH 169 intersection. The roadway serving the proposed building is a <br />ELECTRICAuMECHANICAL newly constructed Holt Street On the east side of the site. There are no proposed <br />ENGINEERING. access points onto the existing Irving Avenue on the west side of the site. Although <br />HvA,C it is not shown, it is our understanding that it would be proposed to connect Holt <br />POWER DISTRIBUTION Street southerly to Jackson Avenue. <br />SCADA <br />SYSTEM CONTROLS We believe the existing street infrastructure and proposed new construction can be <br />established in such a manner to accommodate the amount of traffic anticipated to <br />be generated by this type of facility. As you are aware, Jackson Avenue is already <br />signalized at TH 169. We believe that the intersection of 197th Avenue and <br />TH 169 could be signalized with the input of MnDOT. Obviously, if this project <br />is to proceed forward, the developers should provide a traffic impact study, which <br />would then be reviewed relative to specific traffic generated and the proposed <br />infrastructure to handle it. That study should also identify the impact of the <br />increased traffic on the adjacent residential neighborhood. <br />OFFICES IN: <br />MINNEAPOLIS <br />'?RIOR LAKE <br />ST.
