wetlands on the site. Wetland fill and mitigation requirements will be subject to review and approval of the RCWD. The northeast quadrant of the development falls within a FEMA Floodplain Zone A. The applicant shall be required to submit the proper Letter of Map Amendment or Letter of Map Revision to FEMA for review and approval. Transportation Plan Items discussed during the public hearing regarding transportation include the future extension of Fox Road and access at Old Birch Street to Birch Street. Fox Road will extend north -south and terminate at the southwest property line to provide future connection to the existing Fox Road in the Foxborough as was required and designed with that development. Per the subdivision ordinance, streets shall connect with streets already dedicated in adjoining or adjacent subdivisions or provide for future connections. The CSAH 34 (Birch Street) Corridor Study and the City Engineer further support the need to connect Fox Road to the south to distribute traffic to other primary routes and provide alternate access points. The future connection is required on property owned by a separate entity and may not occur with this development. Staff met with Anoka County to discuss access concerns at Old Birch Street and Birch Street. The County agreed that improvements should be implemented and evaluated the cost and design of a by-pass lane vs. turn lane on Birch Street at the west end of Old Birch Street. Preliminary evaluation determined a by-pass lane to be more cost effective than a turn lane. To minimize impacts to the existing conditions of the north -south section of Old Birch Street and eliminate access points onto Birch Street, a cul de sac on the east end of Old Birch Street may be installed. Cost sharing of improvements will further be discussed between the developer and County. Final Plat A land use application for PUD Final Plan/Final Plat for Saddle Club shall be required. At such time, the developer shall enter into a Development Contract and other documents as the City deems necessary. The final plan shall summarize all allowed PUD flexibilities. RECOMMENDATION The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on November 13, 2013 and continued the hearing to the January 8, 2014 meeting. The Board and staff recommend approval of the Rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for Saddle Club subject to the conditions listed in Resolution 14-15. ATTACHMENTS 1.
