South Hopkins, Minnesota 56343 v^%| tO Mflft- 7190•* — <br />935-3381 February 28, 1983 <br />Re: Hennepin County Entrance Permits and Right-of-Way Control <br />Dear Sir/Madam: <br />these activities. <br />While our review is a legal requirement in the platting process, we would <br />also like to be included on the checklists for property splits,.building <br />permits, and other developmental activities. Moreover, we encourage munici­ <br />palities to Include the entrance permit (or at least preliminary access <br />approval) as a required document prior to final municipal approvals. <br />— No”accesrwhen*^ade^^ alternate access (e.g., city street) is available. <br />— Specifying safe, easily-maintained accesses. u <br />-- To be included in site-plan reviev>;s of proposed land use changes through <br />the permit process, whether or not the access will change (driveways are <br />not automatically perpetuated.) <br />— To require permits for any driveway closure or relocation. <br />Also, a reminder that utility and entrance permits are not the same; they <br />must be coordinated but one usually does not cover the other. <br />Finally, your assistance in identifying road right-of-v/ay encroachments <br />would be greatly appreciated. This monitering is particularly important when <br />a definite hazard is possible (fences, signs, etc.) A phone call to the under­ <br />signed is all that's required. We suggest that all field personnel (road crews, <br />surveyors, police, etc.) be requested to watch for and note these encroachments. <br />Thanks for your past cooperation and please feel free to call the undersigned <br />at ext. 225 or Brad Larson at ext. 228 to arrange on-site or office meetings <br />or to resolve any traf“fic/access questions or right-of-way encroachments. <br />Sincerely, <br />David KJ Zetterstrom <br />Entrance Permit Coordinator <br />Traffic Engineering <br />DKZ:de <br />HENNEPIN COUNTY <br />an equal opportunity employer
