CONCEPT PLAN SUBMITTAL December 13, 2021 ROBINSON PROPERTY Page 4 of 13 Existing Site Description The development site is currently in use as part of the Robinson Landscaping, Inc. sod farm agricultural use. The property also includes a residence and buildings used for operation of the sod farm. The site topography is very flat with multiple ditches to provide drainage and an irrigation source. The property is bound by Main Street (CSAH 14) to the north and Sunset Ave (CR 53) to the west. We have been working with the Anoka County Highway Department regarding their right of way needs for each roadway and to request preliminary feedback on potential roadway access points. The County has indicated roadway access will be made available to the property, and provided a general guideline for locating new access points as depicted on the Concept Plan. Additionally, the County has requested 75-feet of Right of Way dedication from the centerline of Main Street and 60-feet of Right of Way dedication from the centerline of Sunset Avenue; both requests are depicted on the Concept Plan. Other roadway access points have been provided to the property through the Century Farm development to the south at Cardinal Way, Robinson Drive, and Century Trail. Additionally, a pedestrian trail has been stubbed to the property from Century Farm Addition to the south, just west of the Cardinal Way street connection. Adequate public water and sanitary sewer is available to the property from Century Farm development to the south at Cardinal Way, Robinson Drive, and Century Trail. The development site has been historically used for agriculture and currently has no significant tree removal required to construct the development. Braun Intertec performed a Geotechnical Evaluation Report, dated November 29, 2021, on the site. The results are summarized below, with peat levels ranging from 0.5-feet to 8-feet in depth and water levels ranging from 4-feet to 9-feet in depth.
