Review File: Stoney River Sketch Plan and Site Plan Review June 30, 2011, Revised August 17, 2011 Page 9 of 11 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 a trail would technically be required along the west side of Saint Francis Boulevard (TH 47) as indicated in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Master Park and Trail Map. However, City Staff is recommending conveyance of a twenty (20) foot perpetual trail easement along TH 47 in lieu of construction to ensure the possibility of a future connection. Staff acknowledges multiple future connection possibilities as well as the ability to pick up the connection with future development planned for the Lord of Life campus. Additionally, any site utilities (sanitary sewer and watermain) proposed within this trail easement must be relocated outside of the easement or buried to a depth that they would not need to be relocated in the future. 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 mkohner{a»ci.ramsev.mn. us 763-433-9832
