Circle -Lex VFW Post 6583 Page 2 January 8, 2004 City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota 1. The proposed 2.25 acre site development shall be subject to the requirements of NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) as most recently adopted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the City of Lino Lakes. Because the site is less than 2.5 acres, a review and approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) will not be required. 2. Because the property is adjacent to Lake Drive (County Road 23), the plan will require the review and approval of Anoka County. The County has provided review comments in a letter to the City dated September 22, 2003. Because the site plan has been revised since then, it is recommended that the County again review the proposed plans and provide comment. A summary of the County's comments from the September 22, 2003 letter is as follows: • The dedication of an additional 10 feet of right -of -way will be required for future reconstruction purposes. At this time, it is not proposed to construct a right tum lane into the property. However, increases in future traffic volumes and safety concerns may warrant such a requirement from the County in the future, and will be the responsibility of the property owner to construct if required by the County. • Currently, there are three driveways to CSAH 23 from the property. A single access to CSAH 23 opposite 79th Street is proposed, and is acceptable to the County. The Applicant shall be aware, that pending any future improvements to CSAH 23, a raised median or limiting of full access to the driveway may eventually become a possibility. Sight comer visibilities shall be maintained per City and County requirements. No plantings, berms, business signs, or other features may be installed within the right -of -way, and that any such features installed outside of the right -of -way must not compromise safe visibility. The site Landscape Plan shall consider this issue accordingly. At the time of the County's review (September 22, 2003), a Grading and Erosion Control Plan had not yet been submitted. The County will require a Grading and Erosion Control Plan for review along with drainage calculations. • A permit from Anoka County will be required for any and all work within the County right -of -way. Provisions for restoration, traffic control, and safety as required by the County shall be incorporated into the Plans. Site Plan(Sheet A1.1) The following comments regarding the Site Plan are offered as follows: 1. As previously stated, the three existing access points into the property from CSAH 23 have been combined into a single access point. This improves overall traffic safety with regards to the County Roadway and is viewed favorably by Anoka County. However, the access point must line up directly with 79th Street on the opposite side of the roadway.
