• • Bruggeman page 10 The Anoka County Highway Dept. reviewed the Spirit Hills commercial project and the Bruggeman project in November and supported the signalization and turn lanes for the intersection. Anoka County subsequently provided a design for roadway improvements to accommodate both projects. The improvements will include: • traffic signals at Birch and Hodgson • Hodgson southbound through lane • left turn lane from southbound Hodgson to eastbound Birch • Hodgson northbound through lane • right turn lane from northbound Hodgson to eastbound Birch • right turn lane from westbound Birch to northbound Hodgson • left turn lane from westbound Birch to southbound Hodgson • right turn lane into the project from northbound Hodgson at the Hodgson access • left turn lane into the project from southbound Hodgson at the Hodgson access • right turn lane into the project from eastbound Birch at the Birch access (right -in- right -out only) • right turn lane from eastbound Birch to southbound Ware • left turn lane from eastbound Birch to northbound Ware • Birch eastbound through lane at Ware • right turn lane from westbound Birch to northbound Ware • left turn lane from westbound Birch to southbound Ware • Birch westbound through lane at Ware As part of the project approval, Bruggeman and the developer of Spirit Hills commercial will finance these improvements.

Park Dedication: The Park Board recommends cash park fees with credit given for the private park area.
