Apple Academy Page 7 The applicant will need to apply for a MnDOT drainage permit to ensure that current drainage rates to MnDOT right-of-way will not be increased. The City will need to receive a copy of this permit in advance of any work taking place. Utilities The site is served by existing local utilities. The applicant is proposing to vacate a permanent utility easement that runs south to north through the site under the location of the proposed building. The existing sanitary sewer main will be removed and rerouted around the proposed building. A sanitary sewer service will be extended from the infrastructure located on the north side of the property with a 6-inch service extended into the site. As outlined in the Development Agreement, a letter of Credit will be required for the removal and relocation of the public sanitary sewer. Vehicular Access The subject site abuts U.S. Highway 61 to the west. The applicant will remove the existing gravel access onto Highway 61 from the property and will access their site through the TGK Automotive site. The developer is proposing a 24-foot wide drive connection from the subject site to the TGK property. Cross access agreements with the landowner of the TGK Automotive site will be required. Parcels A and B (the subject site) are separated from Parcel C by a strip of property with a private road easement. As part of the site plan review process, city staff asked the developer to clarify the development team’s intended process to obtain the right for Parcel C to cross the strip of property. Parcel C is not part of this application, however, Parcel C will not receive future access to U.S. Highway 61, so it is imperative that Parcel C enter into cross access agreements for across the gap of property, across the Apple Academy site and the TGK Automotive site. Additional access concerns were raised for the two residential properties directly to the east that are served by the gap of property and not deeded right-of-way. The City of Hugo requested that the applicant provide a title opinion for the three properties owned by Premier Bank (parcels A, B and C) and for the gravel road. The applicant provided exhibits that addressed access rights, noting that a 30-foot roadway easement was placed over the gravel road. A description of the private road easement was found within the deeds for both residential parcels. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed access points for safety and visibility and finds them to be appropriately located. Trash Enclosures The trash and recycling enclosures are proposed to be constructed of materials to match the principal building and will be located on the southern border of the parking lot area and connected via sidewalks to the building. As proposed, the trash and recycling enclosure complies with ordinance requirements.
