• Bruggeman Properties Page 5 of 13 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 traffic 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 District have been received. Because such comments may affect the design of the development, staff cannot recommend approval of the project until such time as a determination has been made that the concerns of the Watershed District have been satisfied. As a condition of subdivision approval, all conditions of the Watershed District permit must be satisfied. Site and Building Plan Review As indicated previously, the applicant is seeking site and building plan approval to allow the construction of a 12,160 square foot retail 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 comprehensive 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 via a private street (which ultimately provides ingress /egress to Hodgson Road). While the submitted development plans illustrate two access points upon Hodgson Road. Anoka County has indicated it will not allow the 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 locations should be subject to comment by the City Engineer.
