Dahlstrom Development LLC #02-2789/02-2840 *Stonebay* Final Development Plan Revic^v October 18,2002 Pages Streets and Trails : Plans should confirm horizontal curve has been changed to meet 500' radius. Vertical curves must be indicated on the plans. Right-of-way east of Kelley must be widened to accommodate turn lanes and snow storage, i.e. 15' behind the curb, or snow storage will end up on private property. Changes to Willow Drive are also required as part of this project: A center northbound left-turn lane and southbound right turn lane. The trail crossing at Willow/Kelley should be nioveo eastward to the intersection rather than 75' west of it as currently shown. The trail segment along Willow south of kelley should be constuxted in the commercial outlot as part of this project. A geotechnical report, R-value recommendation and pavement design should be provided for review. Traffic : The roundabout design does not meet the standards for a typical moving van. There are a number of options to resolving this, including widening the road or adding a surmountable inner curb with 4’ sidewalk at the perimeter of the roundabout. The City Engineer is recommending against the recently added separate access to West Lane. The reason for this access apparently was to deal with elevation differences between the cast Lofts bui. Jing parking entrance and the drop-off circle at the lofts shared entry level. This will likely generate some discussion Sheldon Johnson of Bonestroo is expecting to complete his study of traffic issues for the Highway 12 area within the next two weeks. Mr. Johnson has indicated he will be at the October 21 meeting to address any questions Planning Commission may have regarding the traffic study. His comments related to the impacts of the Dahlstrom project have been incorporated into Tom Kellogg ’s letter of October 1 and discussed above; specifically, the need to add a northbound left turn lane (for easy access to Kelley Parkway) and a southbound right tuni lane at Willow/12 (to reduce stacking in the southbound through lane). These costs should be borne by Dahlstrom. Johnson has indicated a number ofehanges will likely be recommended to area roadways and intersections in addition to those at Willow/Kelley and Willow/12, but they are not directly a result of the Dahlstrom project. 3. City Fire Marshal Bill Meyer has reviewed the plans and has indicated he has no significant changes that would impact site layout or design. He indicated that other than refining a few hydrant locations, he does not see any issues from a fire safety standpoint. He plans to meet with Long Lake Fire Dept, representatives the week of October 21 to determine whether they have any comments.
