Case #2: Request for Preliminary Plat Review of Rivenwick 3rd Addition; Case of Turtle Moon, Inc. Associate Planner Wald stated that the City Council met on November 12, 2002, and reviewed the proposed subdivision. During the meeting, several issues and concerns were raised. The City Council inquired how the developer is going to handle the adjoining property to the south that has a fence located on the developer's property. Subsequent to the City Council meeting, Mr. Shulte discussed this issue with the title company and they are unwilling to allow Mr. Shulte to provide an easement to the resident whose fence protrudes onto the developer's property. Mr. Shulte is willing to work with the resident to assist in removing the fence and may be willing to pay half the cost associated in removing the fence from the property. Concerns were raised in regard to Riverdale Drive possibly needing to be realigned in the future to meet MnDot's intersection separation requirements for the Regional Park entrance and continuation of Riverdale Drive west. Subsequent to the City Council meeting, staff met with the Anoka County Engineer and Anoka County Attorney. Anoka County Staff agreed that a frontage road would probably continue west through the regional park and the main entrance to the park would be at the intersection of Highway #10 and Ramey Boulevard. City Staff asked if it would be legally possible to move the Riverdale Drive intersection south in the future to meet MnDot's second entrance intersection separation requirements. It is the County Attorney's opinion that if the County and the City needed to realign the Riverdale Drive intersection in the future, this would most likely be possible when the correct government agency took control of the property. The City would most likely be responsible for finding additional land that is contiguous to the regional park to swap with the government agency for the land that would be utilized for road right-of-way for the intersection and continuation of Riverdale Drive.
