Subject:
Concept PUD of the Fox Property located in 2005 MUSA
Lundgren Bros. Construction
Dear Mr. Generous:
This letter is in response to your November 10, 2004 transmittal requesting review and
comments regarding the concept PUD of the Fox property located in 2005 MUSA - Applicant
Lundgren Bros. Construction.
The coordination of this proposed developmehtwith 'the needed improvements on County State
Aid Highway 18 (Lyman Boulevard) is critical in achieving the appropriate construction for the
highway and the abutting property. The plans for reconstructing Lyman Boulevard need to be
interfaced with the development plans for the Fox property.
Matching the grading plan of the Fox property with the existing Lyman Boulevard corridor
cannot be an assumed appropriate action. It is likely that the centerline profile of Lyman
Boulevard will be adjusted when the highway is reconstructed. It also is likely that Lyman
Boulevard will be reconstructed using an urban section and widened to accommodate the
needed travel and turn lanes to the west of the CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard) intersection.
Construction of a boulevard area along Lyman Blvd for buffering, landscaping and trails may
also be desirable.
Most of these same corridor concerns are also applicable to the development of the Fox
property along the future CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard) corridor. Plans for the development of
the Fox property and the construction of CSAH 17 need to be blended to achieve the best
possible product. The starting point for this interface is the approved layout for the New TH 212
project that includes the construction of CSAH17 south of Lyman Boulevard.
This opportunity to begin/continue th'e process of discussing and developing the plans for the
county highways impacted by this proposèd development is sincerely appreciated. Itis expected
that this process will result in the refinement of construction intentions for both the Fox property
and the county highways. This expectation is consistent with the objectives of the Alternative
Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) that included the Fox property, the abutting highwaysystem
and the surrounding properties.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this concept plan. These comments are not all inclusive
and may need review and revision as this proposal changes and progresses. If there are any
questions regarding these comments, please call me at 952-466-5200.
