This alternative would help address concerns that have been raised both by the public (traffic) as well as Anoka <br />County (noise). The Preliminary Plat does address the other major concern, which was tree preservation and density <br />transitioning. The Subject Property is properly zoned and guided for the proposed product and density. Based on <br />feedback over the years concerning Nowthen Boulevard and public comments specific to this project regarding <br />traffic, Staff supports this alternative with all three contingencies. <br />Alternative 2: Recommend City Council approve the Preliminary Plat as proposed without the three (3) <br />contingencies listed above. Should there be future concerns raised due to noise, the City could be responsible for <br />completing mitigation measures. If a noise study is completed now, it would help inform whether any mitigation <br />measures should be incorporated into this project now, at the developer's cost. While the proposed right out only <br />access point wouldn't require modifications to Nowthen Boulevard, the additional traffic could create issues at <br />146th Avenue and Nowthen Boulevard. If the Planning Commission has concerns about traffic, it should not <br />recommend this alternative. <br />Alternative 3: Recommend the City Council not approve the Preliminary Plat. However, the project does generally <br />comply with the zoning designation and the land guidance. <br />Funding Source: <br />The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this project and review. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends Alternative 1: Approval of the Preliminary Plat with contingencies. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution #20-114 approving Preliminary Plat for Hampton <br />Townhomes. <br />[Note on above motion: as drafted, Resolution #20-114 already includes the three (3) additional contingencies <br />listed in Alternative #J] <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Landscape Plan Sheet 1 <br />Landscape Plan Sheet 2 <br />Anoka County Review Letter <br />Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Dated January 2, 2020 <br />Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Dated February 6, 2020 <br />Fire Truck Turning Movements Exhibit <br />Planning Review Comments <br />Proi ectDox Review Comments <br />Resolution #20-114 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 05/29/2020 09:01 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 05/26/2020 03:42 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 05/29/2020 <br />
