Item 09B December 11, 2017 Page 2 A Major Subdivision is the division of land into more than one lot, or includes two acres of land or larger'. In this case, four lots will be combined into one lot, 3.2 acres in size (4.5 acres including right-of-way). The developer will dedicate right-of-way for Mounds View Blvd (existing) and for Groveland Rd (new). During public meetings, there was discussion of the Mounds View Blvd & Groveland Rd intersection being unsafe, in -part because of the angle of the intersection and the inability to see oncoming traffic. In 2002, the City conducted a study (County Road 10 Redevelopment and Revitalization Plan), which included redesigning such intersections as 90 -degree intersections. Based on this study, Staff requested that the Developer dedicate additional right-of-way on Groveland Rd. Reconstruction may or may not occur, but the land is available should the County or City reconstruct this intersection in the future. Analysis: The developer submitted plans with the most current, dated December 1, 2017. Plans were distributed by Staff to applicable persons and agencies. Comments based on plans, dated November 14, 2017, were received from: Andy Schreder, Interim Building Official Nov 16, 2017 Mike Mattson, Fire Marshal (SBM Fire Dept) Nov 22, 2017 Tyler McLeete, City Engineer (Stantec) Nov 27, 2017 Erin Laberee, Traffic Engineer (Ramsey County) Nov 28, 2017 Phil Gravel, City Engineer (Stantec) Dec 7, 2017 The Preliminary Plat was reviewed for compliance with the Mounds View Municipal Code, Titles 1000 (Building and Development), 1100 (Zoning), and 1200 (Land Subdivisions).
