SUBJECT: S15-024 BeeHive Homes 2nd Addition
Southwest Quad of MN41 and MN7
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section 1008
Dear Ms. Al-Jaff:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the BeeHive Homes 2nd Addition plat. The
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has reviewed the above referenced
plat in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before any
further development, please address the following issues:
Design:
The construction plans are too general to determine impacts to highway operations.
Please submit construction plans showing the right turn lane, saw cuts, pavement
sections, taper, striping, trail cross slopes and grades. The submittal documents are
unclear as to any intended drainage changes.
MnDOT Standard Plate 7025, Concrete Entrances & Curb Returns is enclosed for the
access from MN41. Unless the access is signalized, no pedestrian curb ramps or truncated
domes are installed at driveways.
Please direct questions concerning this comment to Nancy Jacobson (651-234-7647 or
Nancy.L.Jacobson@state.mn.us).

Right-of-Way:
The construction plans do not appear to have clearly marked MnDOT Right-of-Way. The
proposed driveway crosses through MnDOT Right-of-Way and Access Control. MnDOT
will allow the conveyance of a drainage easement to the developer at “Fair Market
Value” based on an appraisal. There will need to be an access exchange to correct the
access control along this development site.
Please contact Michael Geertsema at Michael.Geertsema@state.mn.us or 651-366-3492
Traffic Engineering:
The provided plans do not show the ditch being re-established at the existing
driveways. They will also need to include plan sheets for Pavement Markings, Signing,
Traffic Control, and Special Provisions.
Please direct questions concerning this comment to David Sheen (651-234-7824 or
David.Sheen@state.mn.us).
Water Resources:
A drainage permit maybe required. The developer will need to submit calculations
showing that current drainage rates to MnDOT right of way will not be increased.
A drainage permit checklist is attached to this review letter. The checklist provides more
information about the requirements associated with the submittal of a MnDOT Drainage
permit application.
Please contact Hailu Shakur (651-234-7521 or Hailu.Shakur@state.mn.us) for questions
concerning this comment.
Permits:
An Access Permit is required for the turn lane and access modifications. Additionally, a
Limited Use Permit is required for the proposed trail.
If any other work is to be performed that will impact MnDOT right of way, additional
permits will be required. Permitting forms are available from MnDOT’s utility website at
http://www.dot.state.mn.us/utility/forms.html.
Direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig, Metro Permits, at
(651-234-7911 or Buck.Craig@state.mn.us).

Review Submittal Options:
MnDOT’s goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent in
electronically can usually be turned around faster. There are four submittal options.
Please submit either:
1. One (1) electronic pdf. version of the plans. MnDOT can accept the plans via
e-mail at metrodevreviews.dot@state.mn.us provided that each separate e-
mail is under 20 megabytes.
2. Three (3) sets of full size plans. Although submitting seven sets of full size
plans will expedite the review process. Plans can be sent to:
MnDOT – Metro District Planning Section
Development Reviews Coordinator
1500 West County Road B-2
Roseville, MN 55113
3. One (1) compact disc.
4. Plans can also be submitted to MnDOT’s External FTP Site. Please send files
to: ftp://ftp2.dot.state.mn.us/pub/incoming/MetroWatersEdge/Planning
Internet Explorer doesn’t work using ftp so please use an FTP Client or your

metrodevreviews.dot@state.mn.us indicating that the plans have been
