5 meeting be held with adjacent property owners. Staff ’s preliminary design comments are as follows: Blocks • P edestrian way s are provided to break up long blocks and connect lots with open space. Lots • The single family lots are 70 feet in width (85 feet corner) and 125 -130 feet in depth. • Lot a rea s s hall consist of buildable land exclusive of ut ility transmission or water course easements . • Wetlands require 10 foot buffer . • The proposed age restricted apartment is isolated among the single family lots. A location near the townhomes and open space would lend to a natural transition from low to high density development. Streets & Alleys CSAH 54 (20 th Avenue ) is a n “A” Minor Arterial -Reliever and Cedar Street W is a local road. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for a minor collector road extending north -south through the development. Str eet A provides one access point onto CSAH 54 (20 th Avenue ) and the second access shall be provided at either Cedar Street (north) or Birch Street (south). C are should be taken in the design and layout of Street B to minimize the likelihood of cut through traffic from Birch Street to growing commercial areas north of the site. Street A is located consistent with the access spacing proposed in the 35E Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR). Additionally, the following items should be taken into considera tion: • Street A & B shall be 32 feet wide. • Other streets will be allowed at 28 feet wide. • Sidewalk shall be installed along one side of Street A. • Street B shall be completed from S treet A to Street F and f ull 60 feet of right of way will need to be provide d fo r that portion of Street B extending north of Street A. • A t urn lane off of 20 th Avenue will be required subject to review by Anoka County. • A traffic study will be required as part of the development application. Build Out Plan A build out plan (gho st plat) illustrating a proposed future street syst em and land use (i.e. single family, townhomes, etc.) for ad jacent parcels shall be required .
