There are two parcels in the northeast comer of the intersection of Col mty Roads #116 and #56 that arc not included in the plat The property owner is interested in sellir the property for development and some effort should be put into planning for the inclusion of th igs property in Good Value's development.

In addition, the lots bordering Wetland #2-118 ~ have to meet the 15,000 square foot area requirement, be at least 75 feet wide at the water fronta~ge, and be able to meet a structure setback of 50 feet from ordinary high water. In accordance with the recommendations of the Anoka County Highway Department, the plat is proposed to receive one access from Industry Avenue and one access from Ramsey Blvd. All of the lots will recei~'e access from interior streets. The cul-de-sacs appear to be within the 600 foot maximum length ~restriction. It is not quite clear how the lots on the north side of the wetland will receive public ac~ss. A Grading and Drainage Plan and a Tree Preservation and Planting Plan will be required at the time of preliminary p~at approval.
