■ WSB 477 Temperance Street I St. Paul, MN 55101 1 (651) 286-8450 March 17, 2017 Ms. Rachel Juba, City Planner City of Hugo 14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North Hugo, MN 55038 Re: Preliminary Plat/Preliminary PUD Review Adelaide Landing WSB Project No. 3288-04 Dear Ms. Juba: We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat/PUD submittal and drainage analysis for the above -referenced project. In particular, we have reviewed the following plans related to this particular request: • Preliminary Plat, Grading, Streets, Utilities, and Landscaping Plans prepared by Westwood Professional Services, dated February 5, 2017. • Preliminary Stormwater Runoff Narrative prepared by Westwood Professional Services, dated February 6, 2017. Based on the review of the application materials, we offer the following comments related to this application: Roadways and Access 1. The plan includes adequate roadway right of way and roadways and sidewalks/trails meet City standards for width and design within the extents of the residential development. 2. The development is bordered by 130th Street on the south where the proposed development will have three access locations. Internal roadway connections are also proposed at the existing 137th Street that extends west to Trunk Highway 61, 135th Street that extends easterly towards Egg Lake Road and Flay Avenue that extends northerly towards Egg Lake Road. 3. The proposed development consists of 319 lots, with seven (7) of these lots being developed by others in the future (southeast corner of development). The initial phase consists of approximately 54 lots that will access 130th Street. Subsequent phases continue in the southern portion of the sight that will also access 130th Street. As development continues northward on the site in later stages of the development, connection to 135th Street, Flay Avenue, and 137th Street will take place. 4. The plans include roadway extensions that will allow future roadway access to the property east of the plat area just north of 130th Street. 5. 130th Street will require improvements to accommodate this development and to address deteriorating roadway conditions. Staff is evaluating options for improving 130th Street that include the following: • addition of intersection improvements that could include a roundabout located at Flay Avenue and Street 5 • turn lanes located at street 12 • reconstruction of the roadway to an urban section from TH 61 to Goodview Avenue • 8-ft pedestrian trail along the north side of 130th Street, as identified in the Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan. • Pedestrian crossings of 130th Street in select locations Building a legacy — your legacy.
