Planning & Zoning Board <br />February 12, 2025 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Wipperfurth wanted to know how much influence the Board would have with the <br />Anoka County Highway Department regarding street connections and Red Oak Lane. Ms. <br />Larsen let the Board know that the Community Development Department converses <br />regularly with the Highway Department and will be having more discussions with them <br />regarding this project. <br /> <br />Chair Root has concerns about the water availability in this area. Ms. Larsen confirmed <br />that there are talks of removing the current well and replacing it with a new well. This <br />would help alleviate the capacity issue. <br /> <br />Chair Root also had concerns about emergency services vehicle access to the area. Ms. <br />Larsen stated that vehicles should be able to access the location but in the future a <br />connection with Birch Street would be considered. Mr. Laden wondered if this would be <br />part of the Comp Plan. Ms. Larsen stated that this would be part of the subdivision <br />ordinance to make the street connections. <br /> <br />Chair Root made mention of holding a neighborhood meeting and amending the <br />comprehensive plan to accommodate the lower portion of the development. A majority <br />of the Board members were in favor of the idea of holding a neighborhood meeting. <br /> <br />Chair Root summarized the recommendations of the Board, with the Southern most <br />access being full access not right in right out, making sure the trail is drawn out, and the <br />water supply issues. <br /> <br /> <br />7.
