Mabusth, Building and Zoning Administrator City of Orono Post Office Box 66 Crystal B;‘.y. Minne.sota 55323 Re: Rick’s Super Valu File No. 139-2107 Dear Jeanne, We have reviewed the site plans for the proposed building addition and access relocation at Rick’s Super Valu located at the southwest comer of Shady wood Road (CS AH 19) and Shoreline Drive (CSAH 15) in Navarre. The addition includes a drive-up bank teller. The City and Watershed District approved an addition to the site in 1991 and addressed many of the storm drainage and access issues at that time. We offer the following comments in regards to engineering matters for the proposed addition. The site access is a concern because of the high traffic volumes on CSAH 15 and CSAH 19. The proposal to close the existing east access and create a common access at the property line is de.sirable. This change will move the east access approximately 70 feet further from the signalized intersection which will improve the traffic circulation in the vicinity. The radii on this access should be revised to show a 25' radius out to CSAH 19 for traffic entering the parking lot. Hennepin County should review the site plans and comment on the proposed access. The new access location will require a reconfiguration of the parking lot to allow for the turning movements of commercial vehicles. The reconfiguration shown on the plans provides adequate space to maneuver these vehicles, but will add 1,632 square feet of hardcover to the site. This increase amounts to a 2 percent increase in hardcover which we feel is an insignificant addition to the storm water pond approved in 1991. The applicant should obtain Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval. The additional parking lot pavement near the loading dock should be designed for 9 ton loading with concrete curb and gutter. Erosion control measures should be installed around CB#2 prior to beginning the grading operations near the east loading dock. The proposed drive-up bank teller is located close to th.: main entrance to the store. This location will allow possibly only one vehicle .stacking before a third vehicle blocks the entrance. This may
