Planning & Zoning Board February 12, 2003 APPROVED MINUTES Page 31 The comments of the Environmental Board are attached to this report. CPTED Review. The CPTED review was completed on 1/21/03. The primary issues, as addressed in the attached comments, relate to corresponding roadway improvements (on Hodgson Road and Birch Street) and tr affic flow around the retail building. Rice Creek Watershed District Review. The proposed development is subject to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) approval for both a Land Development Permit and a Wetland Alteration Permit. To date, no comments from the Watershed Di strict have been received. Because such comments may affect the design of the deve lopment, staff cannot recommend approval of the project until such time as a determinati on has been made that the concerns of the Watershed District have been satisfied. As a condition of subdivision approval, all c onditions of the Watershed District permit must be satisfied. Site and Building Plan Review As indicated previously, the ap plicant is seeking site and bu ilding plan approval to allow the construction of a 12,160 square foot reta il center upon proposed Lot 1. At such time when specific development projects exist for the remaining lots in the subdivision (Lots 2 and 3) and the northern portion of Lot 1, they will likewise be subject to a site and building plan review process. At this point, the site plans provided for the motor fuel station, fast food restaurant and office building/day care facility are conceptual in nature and are intended to demonstrate the developability of the lots and a co mprehensive stormwater management and circulation system. Access. Access to the proposed retail center is to be provided from the north (from Birch Street) and from the south vi a a private street (which ul timately provides ingress/egress to Hodgson Road). While the submitted development plans illu strate two access points upon Hodgson Road. Anoka County has indicated it will not allow th e most northerly curb cut and it therefore must be removed. To accommodate the proposed private street access from the south, cross parking and access easements will need to be recorded with the property. The acceptability of the proposed curb cut loca tions should be subject to comment by the City Engineer. Circulation. As shown on the submitted site plan, southerly access to the retail center is to be provided via a private street system.
