12 <br />The proposed Sioux Lane is a local road platted with 60 feet of right of way and 32 foot <br />wide paved road surface. It will be extended east from the Sioux Lane right of way that <br />was platted in Shenandoah 3rd Addition. To maximize lots abutting the wetland and open <br />space, the developer is proposing a “boulevard loop” at the north end. <br /> <br />The cul-de-sac exceeds 500 feet and a variance shall be required. To mitigate emergency <br />access concerns related to the long cul-de-sac, a 10 foot wide, 7 ton emergency access <br />trail will be constructed to Birch Street. <br /> <br />A temporary access for construction traffic off of Birch Street was discussed with Anoka <br />County Highway Department but will not be allowed. <br /> <br />The driveway at 441 Birch Street encroaches onto 453 Birch Street and a driveway and <br />access easement is proposed. This potentially impacts the location of the trail and should <br />be evaluated. <br /> <br />Comments: <br /> <br />1. Sidewalk shall be installed on one side of Sioux Lane. <br />2. The north-south section of Sioux Lane shall be renamed to eliminate possible <br />confusion with the existing Sioux Lane for emergency services. <br />3. The configuration of the cul-de-sac, Lot 23, Block 1 Outlot C and emergency <br />access trail shall be re-evaluated. <br />a. Public Safety has concerns regarding the curve on the trail onto the cul-de- <br />sac. <br />b. The developer should discuss any interest or possibility of relocating the <br />existing driveways at 441 and 453 Birch Street onto the cul-de-sac. <br />4. The property owner at 6640 Hokah Drive shall relocate the existing driveway <br />onto Sioux Lane. <br />5. The proposed Trail and Access Easement from Outlot E to Birch Street shall be a <br />minimum of 40 feet wide. <br />6. A minimum 10 feet of separation shall be required between the proposed trail and <br />the existing driveway at 441 Birch Street. <br />7. Truck turning template shall be provided for the “boulevard loop” at the north of <br />Sioux Lane. <br />8. Due to the unique “boulevard loop”, it is important to note the property owners <br />shall be responsible for mowing and maintaining the right of way boulevard. <br />9. The existing trail along the north side of Birch Street shall be shown on the <br />preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Easements <br /> <br />Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide are provided along all lot <br />lines. Drainage and utility easements shall also be dedicated 10 feet above the high water <br />level over stormwater drainage ponds. Drainage and utility easements are also shown as
