o e Based on City Staff and Anoka County comments in the review of the September 14, 1993 version of th~ preliminary plat, the developer has modified the street layout so that Lots 33 and 34 can _b~ accessed from intemaal streets versus creating additional driveways onto County Roadlg #57 and gl 16. The Septem.~er 14, 1993 version was also forWarded to the County Engineering Department f/pr their review and comment. The County has that the intersection of County Road gl 16 aOd County Road #57 will eventually become a major intersection and will eventually b{~ upgraded with raised medians extending 800 to 1,000 feet from the intersection, g'his will Iikely limit Vanadium Street to.right-in/right-out turning movements onto County Road #116 as it is only 630 feet from the intersection with County Road #57. However, to ~elocate Vanadium Street further east would decrease the separation distances with Tungste[a Street, which provides major access into the Wood Pond projects, and a possible futuri~ collector street into the industrial area south of County Road gl 16. The plat has l~een designed with 142nd Avenue N.W. as a through street into Cedar Hills 2nd Addition jn accordance with Staffs recommendation. As a result of comments made at the time of s~tch plan review by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the northern tier of the plat h~ been redesigned with cul-de-sacs to lessen the density of urban lots that would back u~ to the 1 acre rural lots in Hunter's Hill. All of file cul-de-sacs in the plat are in complianceI with the maximum length restriction of 600 feet.' What is show}a on the plat as 142nd Avenue N.W. should be rena,.';,.cl 142nd Lane; 141st Avenue N.WI should be renamed 141st Lane N.W. Tl~e north/:'~,,ith street into the plat from County iRoad gl 16 should be named Wolfram Street N.W., not Vanadium Street Park Dedicatibn,. The plat was reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission at their regular meeting in Octoger. The consensus at that time was that cash would be required to satisfy park 4edication obligations for the single family residential-portion of Sunfish Square. The cash payment due would be $48,300.00 ($700 x 69 lots). .

The intent of these bituminous tr~ils is to provide safe pedestrian access to commercial and recreational destinations, iThe costs associated with providing these trails are not eligible for park dedication beqause they are transportational issues and not a part of the City's planned trail sys. tem. Thes~ trails should be accommodated within the road right-of-ways. gl
