Dear Ms. Al-Jaff:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnJDOT) has reviewed the above referenced plat
in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before any further
development, please address the following comments:
Area Engineer:
If the "Access Road" for Fairview extends and connects east to TH 101, there is a concern
that this will increase traffic levels at the Powers Blvd intersection. The traffic study shows
just enough storage for the southbound left turn lane at Powers Blvd and the Access Road,
with little or no extra capacity for additional vehicles. Any additional traffic for that
movement could impact operations at the TH 312 ramp.
For questions regarding these comments, please contact Nicole Peterson, Mn/DOT Traffic
Section, at (651) 234-7723.
Right-Of- Way Reconveyance:
At present, Mn/DOT is in receipt of a request from the previous property owner to reconvey
the area highlighted for reconveyance in the development plan. It is very important to note
that this portion ofTH 312 is still under construction, and nothing will be conveyed until the
contractor has completed all work in the area and released it back to the State. It is therefore
advised that the developer should not design their plans using any of the current Mn/DOT
right-of-way until such time that the land is deeded to them. For questions concerning these
comments, please contact Keith McMurray, MnJDOT Right-Of-Way Section, at (651) 234-
7581.
Water Resources:
. This development will affect existing drainage at the TH 312/Powers Blvd interchange so a
drainage permit will be required. It is difficult to determine how the Stormwater Report,
Preliminary Plans and Wetland Layout correspond because ponding, wetland and drainage
areas do not match between the plans and the models. When the drainage permit is applied
for there will need to be further clarification on what is actually happening with stormwater
and ponding on-site.
An equal opportunity employer
The following information is required with the drainage permit application:
Final drainage plan showing storm sewer plan, storm sewer profiles and pond contours.
Existing and proposed drainage area maps with flow arrows.
Existing and proposed drainage/pond computations for the 2, 10, and 100 year rainfall
events.
Additional information may be required once a drainage permit is submitted and after a
detailed review.
Please direct questions concerning drainage issues to Derek Beauduy, Mn/DOT Water
Resources Section, at (651) 234-7522.
Permits:
As noted previous, a drainage permit will be required. Further, any work impacting MnDOT
right of way requires a permit. Permit forms are available from MnDOT's utility web site at
www.dot.state.mn.us/tecsup/utility. Please include one full-size plan set, and an 11 x 17 inch
plan set for each permit application. Please direct any questions regarding permit
requirements to Buck Craig, MnDOT's Metro Permits Section, at (651) 234-7911.
As a reminder, please address all initial future correspondence for development activity such as
plats and site plans to:
