This is related to the 2021 <br />reconstruction project of Birch Street from Hokah Drive to Old Birch Street and necessary <br />acquisition of road right-of-way. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Anoka County is proposing to reconstruct Birch Street from Hokah Drive to Old Birch Street in <br />2021. The improvements include construction of roundabouts at Tomahawk Trail and West <br />Shadow Lake Drive, storm water quality improvements, utility and pedestrian trail <br />improvements and appurtenant work. The roundabout design at West Shadow Lake Drive has <br />been modified to minimize property impacts to the greatest extent possible. Road right-of-way <br />acquisition is necessary which will result in building setbacks along CSAH 34 (Birch Street) <br />being reduced less than required by zoning ordinance. <br />
