• Work with Anoka County and Ramsey County to ensure appropriate access <br />management on County Road J (Ash Street). <br />Mixed Use Areas Guidance and Recommendations: <br />The site is expected to develop as an extension of the mixed use multi -family and <br />commercial development south of the municipal boundary, in the City of North Oaks. <br />Commercial development in White Bear Township fronts County Road J (Ash Street) all <br />the way to the freeway. <br />The site is surrounded by Centerville Road, County Road J (Ash Street), and Wilkinson <br />Lake. Wilkinson Lake is classified as a Natural Environment Lake under the Minnesota <br />shoreland management rules. This lake is small and often appears to be a wetland or even <br />a dry prairie rather than a lake. Any development design must include careful <br />consideration to water quality and potential impacts on the lake. <br />Approximately 60 percent of the Mixed Use area is expected to accommodate residential <br />development at approximately 8 to 15 units per acre. The remaining 40 percent is to <br />accommodate commercial development. <br />Environmental Review Record <br />The proposed development may require a Mandatory Environmental Assessment <br />Worksheet (EAW). The residential unit analysis must be conducted on all contiguous <br />land the developer owns which includes the North Oaks Company property to the west of <br />the project site. <br />Wetlands <br />The concept plan indicates wetlands along Lake Wilkinson. Wetland delineations have <br />been completed and are waiting VLAWMO review and approval. The wetland <br />delineation report and VLAWMO approval shall be required with the PUD Development <br />Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat. Conservation easements 50 feet from the delineated <br />boundary shall be required for wetland buffer. <br />Floodplain <br />The 1982 FEMA Flood Insurance Rating Map (FIRM) indicates Zone A flood plain on <br />the subject property. A Base Flood Elevation is required to be determined, using <br />detailed methods acceptable by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). <br />This will be used in setting the low floor elevations. A FEMA Letter of Map Revision <br />(LOMR) is required for this site. It is highly recommended that the LOMR process be <br />started immediately with a Conditional Letter of Map Revision application. <br />10 <br />
