Apollo Landing /Equinox City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota • • Page 4 March 4, 2005 be required at the south end of the property where the streets are located. Typically, the County has requested right of way dedication of up to 60 feet from the center of a roadway, and it is likely that an Agreement with the County will be needed. 3. The proposed driveway entrance will also require a permit from the County. The County may have additional comments with regards to the driveway location, width, turning lanes, etc. 4. Drainage and utility easements must be provided around all detention and infiltration areas. In addition, the drive easement should also be designated as a drainage and utility easement. Platted drainage and utility easements adjacent to property lines (10 feet) must also be provided per City requirements. 5. A proposed site landscaping plan has been provided. Screening from adjacent properties is proposed by the use of a Wood Privacy Fence, subject to approval by the City. The Landscape Plan should either include or refer to the Grading Plan the proper establishment around the ponds and infiltration areas. 6. Soil borings generally indicate a soil profile of topsoil underlain by coarse alluvium. For the building foundation and roadway and parking area subgrades, varying amounts of engineering fill and granular material will be required. Recommendations as provided in the Geotechnical Report must be provided throughout construction. 7. In addition to trees and vegetation, the existing site contains various remains of structures and facilities from previous site use (foundations, silos, etc.). All above and below ground abandoned facilities must be removed from site and disposed properly. The removal of any septic, well or other such facilities shall be also subject to the rules and regulations of the State of Minnesota and /or Anoka County as required. 8. A Traffic Study has been reviewed as referenced above. The review found several concerns regarding project trip generation and the level of service analysis which will need to be addressed prior to final review and concurrence with the BRAA finding of no significant traffic impacts. Comments on the study are as follows: 1. Projected Trip Generation • Table 5 of the traffic study memorandum displays projected trips to be generated by the proposed development. There are shown to be about 35% reductions in total a.m. and p.m. peak hour trips generated due to pass -by and multi -use trips; however, the underlying assumptions for these reductions are not provided, nor are there any data that demonstrate what pass -by or multi -use trips were added to turn movements at specific intersections. Similarly, there is no accounting for the diverted trips that would be attracted from I -35W to the new businesses at the development site. These details must be provided before the review of this study can be completed.
