The Anoka County Highway Department and City <br />Engineer provide comment/recommendation in <br />regard to the need for Elm Street improvements <br />necessary to accommodate increased area traffic <br />volumes. <br />b.

The site plan is modified to illustrate <br />specific trash handling areas. All waste, <br />refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed <br />building or container designed for such <br />purposes. <br />d.
