The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) lC~'oposed sketch plan c) htr from Mn/DOT dated March 28, 1994 d) Gity Staff review letter dated July 27, 1994 Observations: The property is iCurrentty zoned R-3 Urban Residential for multi-family units. To develop the property as propDsed will require a rezoning. It appears that all of the lots will meet the minimum dimensional and area requirements. Some adjustments to t}~e alignment of 150th Lane may necessitate the loss of one tot on the south end of the plat. All lots will receive access from interior streets and no lots will have direct access onto Hwy. g47. The developer i~ proposing to extend 150th Lane into Willow Ridge from Gorhams Sandy Acres to the east. An 9utlet is also proposed onto Hwy. #47. In exchange for this outlet, Mn/DOT may require closing pne of the accesses on the west side of Hwy. #47 in the same vicinity. The westerly north/s~uth street is a cul-de-sac that exceeds the 600 foot limit by approximately 100 feet.
