The primary access would be taken from Edgewood Drive, in the location of the present curb cut on Edgewood Drive. There is some question as to whether Ramsey County Traffic Engineers will allow for the proposed right-in right-out, or any access for that matter, on Highway 10, due to the presence of the deceleration lane for Edgewood Drive. The site plan will be forwarded to Ramsey County for their comment and review in conjunction with the preliminary plat. Drainage and Utilitv: The applicant has submitted plans to Rice Creek Watershed District for review, who has administratively approved of the concept plans calling for the relocated stormwater pond. Mike Ulrich, the City's public Works Director, and SEH Hydrologist Rocky Keehn have reviewed the proposed drainage and utility plans and have recommended changes. These plans are in the process of being revised in accordance with the suggestions changes and may be available at the time of the Commission meeting on June 7. It is anticipated the applicant would need to work within the delineated wetland to install the required storm sewers, which would also need to be approved by Rice Creek watershed District. Trailwavs: It has been suggested that the developer shall be responsible for installing a bituminous path around the wetland that would connect to the Community Center as well as to the proposed Walgreens / Culver's development. In addition, there is a strong desire to install bituminous pathways along the Highway 10 Corridor as indicated in the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan and as recently evidenced with the construction of the movie theater across from City Hall. In that case, the theater developers were required to install 1,7001ineal feet of paved trails along Highway 10 on theater property. The Walgreens site plan as proposed would not allow for a trailway to be installed along Highway 10 as the parking lot is shown to be set back five feet from the property line. Because the City requires 7-foot wide trails, the parking lot would need to be set back from the property line a minimum of 10 feet. It is not know if the site plan could be arranged in such a way to allow for this, but staff would suggest it be done to accommodate the Highway 10 trailway off of the County right of way. Major Subdivision Discussion: Preliminarv Plat: Mr. Cunningham has arranged to have a complete and full survey done on the City Hall property, public works property, the Community Center, the Midland Videen site and the remnant parcel. This survey is included with your staff report for your reference. Utilizing the information obtained from the survey, a draft preliminary plat was drafted. While this too is included for your reference, it is only labeled as "Exhibit99 in the lower left hand corner of the plan. The proposed plat has not yet been identified with a name. Because the remnant parcel is a part of the City Hall
