Hennepin County Transportation Project Delivery <br />Public Works Facility, 1600 Prairie Drive, Medina, MN 55340 <br />612-596-0300 | hennepin.us <br />March 17, 2021 <br />Mr. Jeremy Barnhart, AICP Community Development Director <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />Re: Preliminary Plat Review – Newell Plat / 1485 6th Avenue North (Received 02/19/21) County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 6 (6th Avenue North) Hennepin County Plat Review ID #3812A (Reviewed 02/23/21) <br />Mr. Barnhart: <br />Please consider the following county comments for this preliminary plat proposal subdividing 1485 6th Avenue North into three single-family lots. <br />Access: Pending demonstration of sufficient sight distance, use of the current access on CSAH 6 is <br />supported. If desired, county permitting staff could assist in measuring the sight distance. Additionally, if the gravel driveway on the western edge of the site will not serve a public purpose, removal and regrading with proper ditch drainage is requested. <br />Right-of-way: Dedication of 17 feet of right of-way to match a 50-foot half section along CSAH 6 is requested to provide space for future roadway needs. Additionally, consistent with city standards, <br />dedication of a 10-foot drainage and utility easement is requested beyond the right of way. <br />Storm Water/Drainage: The county storm water system will not take water from new drainage areas. The site needs to internally capture any additional stormwater runoff. Additional treatment may be needed if flow rates cannot match existing. Contact: Drew McGovern at 612-596-0208 or <br />drew.mcgovern@hennepin.us <br />Permits: Please inform the developer that all construction within county right-of-way requires an approved Hennepin County permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to, <br />driveway and street access, drainage and utility construction, trail development, and landscaping. <br />Contact: Michael Olmstead, Permits Coordinator at 612-596-0336 or michael.olmstead@hennepin.us <br />Please contact Jason Gottfried: 612-596-0394, jason.gottfried@hennepin.us for further discussion. <br />Sincerely, <br />Carla Stueve, PE, PTOE County Highway Engineer <br />LA21-21Council Exhibit G
