3 <br /> <br />wetlands on the site. Wetland fill an d mitigation requirements will be subject to review and <br />approval of the RCWD. The northeast quadrant of the development falls within a FEMA <br />Floodplain Zone A. The applicant shall be required to submit the proper Letter of Map <br />Amendment or Letter of Map R evision to FEMA for review and approval. <br /> <br />Transportation Plan <br /> <br />Items discussed during the public hearing regarding transportation include the future extension <br />of Fox Road and access at Old Birch Street to Birch Street. Fox Road will extend north -south <br />an d terminate at the southwest property line to provide future connection to the existing Fox <br />Road in the Foxborough as was required and designed with that development. Per the <br />subdivision ordinance, streets shall connect with streets already dedicated in a djoining or <br />adjacent subdivisions or provide for future connections. The CSAH 34 (Birch Street) Corridor <br />Study and the City Engineer further support the need to connect Fox Road to the south to <br />distribute traffic to other primary routes and provide alterna te access points. The future <br />connection is required on property owned by a separate entity and may not occur with this <br />development. <br /> <br />Staff met with Anoka County to discuss access concerns at Old Birch Street and Birch Street. <br />The County agreed that impro vements should be implemented and evaluate d the cost and <br />design of a by -pass lane vs. turn lane on Birch Street at the west end of Old Birch Street. <br />Preliminary evaluation determined a by -pass lane to be more cost effective than a turn lane. To <br />minimize impacts to the existing conditions of the north -south section of Old Birch Street and <br />eliminate access points onto Birch Street, a cul de sac on the east end of Old Birch Street may <br />be installed. Cost sharing of improvements will further be discussed betw een the developer <br />and County. <br /> <br />Final Plat <br /> <br />A land use application for PUD Final Plan/Final Plat for Saddle Club shall be required. At <br />such time, the developer shall enter into a Development Contract and other docume nts as the <br />City deems necessary. The fin al plan shall summarize all allowed PUD flexibilities. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on November 13, 2013 a nd continued the <br />hearing to the January 8, 2014 meeting.
