Observations: The subject property is zoned Industrial and a rezoning to R-1 Urban Residential has been properly applied for. The lots bordering Wetland #2-118 are under shoreland regulations and considered riparian. As such, they are required to be 15,000 square feet in area and that minimum must be calculated above the ordinary high water level. The preliminary plat dated 1/8/96 reflects that the riparian lots do meet the shoreland requirements. Ail other lots are considered non-riparian and as such, are required to mee~ the standard urban minimum area of 10,800 square feet. All non-riparian lots are in compliance. The plat has two accesses onto Industry Avenue and one onto Ramsey Blvd., the locations of which received preliminary approval from the Anoka County Highway Department. The preliminary plat has been forwarded to Anoka County for final approval of the access locations. The Planning C~mmission recommends.that the developer be required to install left mm, right mm and by pass lanes at the access oto County Road #56. None of the lots will have direct access onto County roads. One of the five cul-de-sacs exceeds the 600 foot maximum length restriction, however, it is the only reasonable way to get access to developable high ground on the north side of the wetland. The Planning Commission has recommended that the developer be required to provide any additional fight of way deemed necessary for 149th Avenue N.W. in Peltzer Addition to the north; the existing right of way is 33 feet wide. A Grading and Drainage Plan and a Tree Preservation Plan have been submitted and are generally acceptable.
