Sherburne County Highway Department P.O. BOX338 · ELK RIVER, MN 55330 · PHONE (612)441-1722 · FAX(612)441-2264 January 18, 1996 Mr. Steven Ach City of Elk River Planner 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: Oak Creek Estates and Ridgewood Hills Preliminary Plats Dear Mr. Ach: We have reviewed the above referenced plats and have the following comments: As we discussed, the proposed access into the Oak Creek Estates Plat from CSAH 1 should be located directly across CSAH 1 from our proposed realignment of CR 44. The realignment will be constructed with our scheduled 1996 CSAH 1 improvement project. The developer can contact us for construction plans and project scheduling. - The proposed access into the Oak Creek Estates Plat from CSAH 1 will require a permit from this office. We are concerned that there are no provisions for east/west connections between plats on either side of the City owned abandoned rail line. By not providing internal connections across this trail, all of the traffic generated by these developments are forced to use the County Road system even for local-type trips that are normally accommodated by city streets. The Ridgewood Hills Plat is located adjacent to an Anoka County owned and maintained roadway (CSAH 24). Any additional right-of-way Anoka County needs or requests should be provided. Anoka County may wish to eliminate the existing driveway immediately south of the proposed access road. Access into this lot can be accommodated via the proposed roadway into Ridgewood Hills. - The proposed access into the Ridgewood Hills Plat from Anoka County CSAH 24 will reqmre a permit from the Anoka County Highway Department. - Any additional requests or comments Anoka County may have regarding CSAH 24 should be addressed prior to plat approval.
