4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. The proposed development will not overburden existing public utilities or services. 5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. The proposed site will be accessed via the Apollo Drive /CSAH 23 intersection. The Town Center Master Plan will involve working with both Anoka County and MnDOT with regard to the redesign and improvements to both the I -35 /CSAH 23 interchange, bridge and CSAH roadways. These improvements will impact the proposed PDO development with regard to site design, streetscape treatment, and traffic circulation. In respect to these roadway improvements, the PDO development and preliminary plat are premature. PRELIMINARY PLAT / CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS The preliminary plat involves only a portion of the overall PDO site and includes a partial dedication of Apollo Drive, an outlot for the private street, and a single commercial lot. Review of the preliminary plat presents the following comments: Lots. The SC Zoning District requires a minimum lot size of three acres. The conceptual development plan and the preliminary plat illustrate lot sizes in the southwest corner of the PDO site less than three acres. Through the PDO process, flexibility may be approved without variance. Utilities. The general development notes have been revised t� state that drainage and utility easements will be provided in accordance with the following schedule: Pipelines Ponds Perimeter Lot Lines Wetlands 20 feet (centered on utility) 1 foot above HWL 5 feet on all lot lines 5 feet beyond wetland boundary Private Street. The proposed private street is proposed to be platted as Outlot A. In response to staff comments, the applicant has revised the concept plan to illustrate the private road ending in a temporary 40 foot radius turnaround until the restaurant site is developed. This change, however, was not also made to the site plan. Without the addition of this turnaround, vehicles must rely on private parking areas for vehicle turnaround. 6
