Review File: Stoney River Sketch Plan and Site Plan Review June 30, 2011 Page 9 of 10 Sidewalk and Trails. A ten (10) foot wide trail is required along Nowthen Boulevard (CSAH 5), as indicated on the Plans. Any portion of trail on the Subject Property (not within the right-of-way) shall be encumbered by a perpetual trail easement to encumber the trail plus five feet for maintenance purposes, except as agreed upon along the proposed retaining wall. The perpetual trail easement shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. In those locations which the trail on Nowthen Boulevard (CSAH 5) is located within the Anoka County Right of Way, it is necessary to receive a right of way permit from the Anoka County Highway Department. Concerns that they will have are not limited to but will include the perpetuation of drainage within the ditches and a requirement for cross section drawings at least every 50 feet. Additionally, it is required to locate a trail on both sides of Trunk Highways, County Roads, State Aid roads and collector roadways through medium density housing land uses. Therefore there will be a trail required along the west side of Saint Francis Boulevard (TH 47). Finally, Staff recommends that the Applicant consider a pedestrian connection in the Anoka County Right of way to Dysprosium Street. A site distance analysis should be completed and discussions should be held with Anoka County to determine the feasibility of including a crosswalk at that intersection. Permits: The applicant is responsible to secure all required permits for this project; including but not limited to an MPCA NPDES construction permit, a Lower Rum River Watershed Organization permit, and Anoka County and MnDOT right-of-way permits. Additionally, the contractor performing the work will be required to get a City license and right-of-way permit. Lighting: The City has not received a lighting plan for review. City standards require that the luminaire (light source) must not be visible from beyond the property line. Any lighting used to illuminate an off- street parking area, sign, or structure shall be arranged to deflect away from Nowthen Boulevard (CSAH 5) and Saint Francis Boulevard (TH 47). The Applicant is responsible for the installation, and three (3) years of operations and maintenance, of all boulevard lighting. A light should be included at the access point onto Nowthen Boulevard to adequately light this area. REU Number: This property will be subject to a storm water utility charge based upon the amount of impervious surface on the site. The quarterly charge is dependent upon the number of Residential Equivalent Units (REU) calculated for this property. The site is proposed as 48.7% impervious. This leads to an REU of (2.66 x 6.55) 17.423 and a quarterly stormwater fee of $646.04. Fire Department/Public Safety Review Reviewer: Matt Kohner, Fire Marshal mkohneff&ci.ramsev.mn. us 763-433-9832 Site Access: The required fire department access road shall be a minimum unobstructed 20 ft. in width and 13 ft. 6 in. clear height and shall be designed to support an apparatus with a gross axle weight of 75,000 lbs. The turning radius for emergency apparatus roads is 30 ft inside and 50 ft outside radius or as approved by the code official. The proposed building is required to have an emergency vehicle access road within 150 ft of any exterior portion of the structure. Please add these notes to the applicable sheets.
