City Of Pequot Planning Zoning From: Tim Houle[thoule@wsn-mn.com] /,ent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 12:26 PM "70: Dawn Bittner(E-mail); Sandy Peine(E-mail) Cc: Chuck Marohn (E-mail); "Timothy Moore"@smtp1.onvoy.com; "Mike Rude"@smtpl.onvoy.com Subject: Pequot Lakes- Proposed RV Park south of CR 168 and west of TH 371 Dawn and Sandy: Sandy, if you could forward this to Mike Loven, I would appreciate it. I met with Chuck Marohn and Tim Moore today on the above subject. Tim Moore is a project manager at our firm working with the owner of the proposed RV Park on platting and the P&Z process. I pointed out to them that I was concerned about the status of Hurtig Road in all of this, especially alongside the parcel in question (about a 1/4 of a mile) and then on up to County Road 168 (a little over a 1/4 of a mile) . Hurtig Road does not come to mind as a roadway setup to handle RV type vehicles, especially the big diesel pushers pulling a car or a boat (with the acknowledgement that these will not be going in and out every single day) . We should really look at several items: • horizontal alignment • vertical profile • pavement type and structural capacity (a good subbase, aggregate base, ` and 'bituminous pavement) • road width (24-foot wide pavement) • shoulder width (there should be at least 2-foot wide, if not 4-foot • wide shoulders on each side; they can be grass or gravel and not necessarily paved) + ditches/drainage (if the road will be wider, this will need to be considered) • turning radii • does this road have the former Township's Rustic Road designation, and • if so, what implications does this have on improvements A final item is who is going to pay for any improvements. The City has already set aside the roads they want to improve this year. Will there be some "at large" or general levy City monies used? Is the developer going to pay for all the costs of upgrading Hurtig Road? Will adjacent property owners need to pay (be assessed) some of the cost of any road upgrades? Or is it going to be a combination of all of these (which I think is more realistic) ? We can put together a letter report to include a field visit with Mike Loven (and anyone else; P&Z Member, Council Member, etc. ) , a description of the proposed improvements (addressing the +'s in this Email above) , and a rough estimated cost (using some estimated quantities and unit costs) for around $1,500. This cost could be a City contribution to the project or could be one of the conditions with the developer. Let us know how you would like us to proceed. "imH Timothy M. Houle, P.E.
