Ms. Katie Larsen 08/06/2025 Page 9 Nature Refuge North Addition Engineering Review The City’s Engineering and Public Safety departments submit that the roadway connection to Andall Street shall be constructed as detailed below. Trails and sidewalks A trail is proposed extending from the south end of the development at the connection with Natures Refuge, to the north end of the development and branching west to one of the new streets. Reference the City Planner’s report for trail and sidewalk detail. Comments: 1. There is little to no significant impact on the adjacent streets and intersections due to the trips expected to be generated by the proposed development. Carlson (4/25/2025) Noted WSB (5/23/2025) Complete 2. There is no difference in operations with or without the Andall Street access. a. Improving Fire and Life Safety response to both neighborhoods (providing additional means of access). b. Connectivity of neighborhoods which generally results in a reduction of overall vehicle miles traveled c. Provides access for the existing neighborhood to sidewalks and trail system. Also, can provide a far safer route to/from the school with almost no need to walk/bike on CSAH 14. Carlson (4/25/2025) Noted – Street added WSB (5/23/2025) Complete 3. It may be beneficial to look into providing a trail extension from the school to Basswood to provide a non-motorized connection to the school completely independent from CSAH 14. Carlson (4/25/2025) Noted WSB (5/23/2025) To be further reviewed with final plans 4. The CSAH 14/Wood Duck intersection is expected to operate acceptably during full- build scenarios, however it still would improve safety by providing exclusive left-turn lanes on CSAH 14. Would get queueing vehicles out of the through lane and eliminate the potential for through vehicles to use the right-tun lanes as bypass lanes. Carlson (4/25/2025) Noted WSB (5/23/2025) To be further reviewed with final plans 5. Andall Street should be constructed as a 24 foot wide roadway within the cleared path from the watermain / fire hydrant extension to the Arena Acres Development. The City will consider a sidewalk on one side of the roadway during the final plat review. It is anticipated that approximately 15 trees will be removed with the construction of the watermain and roadway. There will also be wetland impacts that will need to be mitigated. Carlson (4/25/2025) Street has been adjusted. WSB (5/23/2025) Complete 6. Provide a striped crosswalk at the east end of Street C instead of having the trail cross the road Carlson (4/25/2025) Trail adjusted. Markings to be provided with final plans WSB (5/23/2025) To be completed with final plans Page 115 of 168
