SUBJECT: Hess Farm, MnDOT Review #S 14-015
South of US 212, West of Bluff Creek Dr.
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section 1017
Dear Ms. Fauske:
MnDOT has reviewed the plans for the subject property and has the following comments
Right of Way:
MnDOT has access control over the location where the current field access is on the subject site.
The adjacent land owner was paid by MnDOT to have the right of access control. This access
road to this property must be realigned so the north end does not cross MNDOT's access control.
MnDOT is in the process of turning back Bluff Creek Road to the City of Chanhassen; show this
road as well as MnDOT right of way on resubmitted plans.
It appears that MnDOT right of way has been altered with fill adjacent to this site. Resubmitted
survey or site plans should be sent to MnDOT for review and the property owners should
identify the area where new fill has been added and to what depth.
For questions concerning these comments, contact Doug Nelson, Metro Right of Way, at 651-
234-7583 or Douglas.nelson(&state.mn.us.
Water Resources:
A drainage permit may be required. The development needs to maintain existing drainage rates
(i.e., the rate at which storm water is discharged from the site must not increase). Identify on
plans where stockpiling of fill will be placed. Appropriate erosion and sediment control must be
used to protect adjacent MnDOT property, especially the low spot at the north end or lot 1701.
There may be a wetland inside the triangular shaped MnDOT area separated by only a foot or
two bene between 1701 low spot. The City or project developer will need to submit existing /
proposed hydraulic computations for both 10 and 100 year rainfall events verifying that all
existing drainage patterns and systems affecting MnDOT right of way will be perpetuated.
Drainage permit application can be found at:
hhtt ://www.dot.state.mn.us/utility/files/ndf/permits/drainaae-form-comnlete.pdf. Please direct
questions concerning these issues to Martin Kors, Metro Water Resources, at 651-234-7537 or
martin.korsCastate.mn.us.
Permit Required:
hi addition to a drainage permit, any use of or work within or affecting MnDOT right of way
requires a permit. Permit forms are available here: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/utility/. Include
one 11x17 plan set and one full size plan set with each permit application. Please direct questions
regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig, Metro Permits, at 651-234-7911 or
buck.craigA,state.mn.us.
