• Planning & Zoning Board Marshan Lake Industrial Park August 13, 2003 The lots are of adequate size to accommodate required building and parking setbacks. However, the plat should identify a 50 -foot building setback from Lake Drive, which is a Minor Arterial. Access /Circulation. The property is proposed to be accessed from Lake Drive via a new street. The proposed street, which will terminate with a cul -de -sac, is approximately 460 feet in length. Chapter 302 of City Code sets maximum cul -de -sac length at 500 feet. The proposed street is in conformance with this provision. The proposed access is approximately a quarter mile between both Town Center Parkway and Elm Street and is generally consistent with Anoka County access spacing guidelines. Additionally, the proposed intersection will provide access to future residential development on the east side of Lake Drive. Traffic Impacts. A detailed traffic study was initiated by the City Council in June of 2003 to address traffic impacts from the Marshan Lakes Business Park and the proposed Village development. While the overall study is still in progress the portion relating to the Marshan Lakes Business Park has been completed. A report, dated August 7, 2003, from Glen Van Wormer, the City's Traffic Engineering Consultant, is attached. In summary, the traffic generated by the Lino Lakes Business Park will not require significant improvements be made to Lake Drive other than construction of a southbound right turn lane and a potential northbound left turn lane. With the provision of both northbound and southbound turn lanes onto the industrial park access road, any potential vehicle delays will not impact traffic on Lake Drive itself. A southbound turn lane on Lake Drive is proposed to accommodate vehicle turning movements into the development. Staff is also recommending construction of a northbound left turn lane as a requirement of plan approval, subject to Anoka County concurrence. Street width. Section 302 of City Code requires a minimum of 60 feet of right -of -way for cul -de -sacs, and 120 feet for arterial streets. The proposed cul -de -sac satisfies this requirement. However, the plat does not provide the necessary right -of -way along Lake Drive. Sixty feet of right -of -way from the centerline of Lake Drive (C.S.A.H. 23) will be required. Additional right -of -way will be required at the intersection of the new street and Lake Drive to accommodate future signalization and road improvements to be deteimuned by the City Engineer. The street is proposed to be constructed to a 40 foot width which is adequate to service industrial traffic. • Access control, dedicated to Anoka County, should be shown on the plat on Lots 1 and 4 adjacent to Lake Drive.
