Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: BEAUDRY OIL COMPANY OFFICE COMPLEX <br />SITE PLAN REVIEW <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br />As you requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the Beaudry Oil Company <br />office complex located on Proctor Avenue north of TH 10. The package submitted <br />consisted of a Site Plan and various floor plans, elevations, and building details. The <br />CIVIL ENGINEERING information submitted was prepared by Duffey Engineering Company and was dated <br />ENVIRONMENTAL April 26, 1995. Based on the Tune 13, 1995, concept review meeting and the June 19, <br />MUNICIPAL 1995, follow-up meeting with the Developer, we would offer the following comments. <br />.PLANNING <br />50lIDWASTE 1, The Site Plan proposes a driveway onto Proctor Avenue immediately north of the <br />STRUCTURAL existing convenience/fuel store owned by Mr. Beaudry. This driveway is only 40 <br />SURVEYING feet north of the main entrance to the existing facility. This location is too close to <br />TRAFFIC the existing driveway. There is potential for conflicting movements of cars turning <br />TRANSPORTATION <br />both left and right out of opposite driveways. In discussing this with Mr. Beaudry, <br />ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL he indicated his willingness to close the proposed southern driveway and just utilize <br />ENGINEERING: one at the north end of the site. <br />HVAC <br />POWER DISTRIBUTION 2. There are a number of concerns regarding the proposed car wash. Those would <br />SCADA include the issue of potential icing at the exit of the carwash during winter months. <br />svsTEMCONTROLS This is an area where pedestrian movements would be frequent, given the fast food <br />and office space on each side. Again, in meeting with Mr. Beaudry, he indicated <br />the potential to heat the concrete pad immediately outside the car wash to eliminate <br />icing problems, with tl~e exception of possibly extremely cold weather. <br />Another issue with the car wash is the traffic patterns that will occur between the <br />existing gas station and the proposed car wash. Currently, there is a driveway <br />shown between the two immediately adjacent to the existing diesel fuel pumps. <br />This has the potentia} of causing vehicle conflicts if there is a user of the diesel <br />~FFICES IN: pumps and cars are trying to go through the driveway to line up for the car wash. <br />MINNEAPOLIS We discussed this with Mr. Beaudry and he indicated he would rethink the driveway <br />PRIOR LAKE location and the car wash stacking area. <br />ST.
