Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that public safety is supportive of the right out onto Nowthen <br /> Boulevard. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the noise mitigation would be for the existing residents as well <br /> as the new residents of this development. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that the noise study would be for the project site and therefore <br /> only the new townhomes. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill explained that Nowthen Boulevard would not trigger noise <br /> mitigation for the existing homes and that requirement would be specific to the new homes. He <br /> stated that the benefit would be to the people purchasing the newly created homes. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that it does not appear that there would be room for a berm. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill provided different examples of things that could be used to <br /> mitigate noise, such as landscaping or fencing. He noted that the study would provide those <br /> examples. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that Anoka County provided four options for CR 5, with one <br /> option being a right out only used for emergency or utility vehicles. She asked for input from staff. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that at this time the proposal is for a right out for any vehicles. <br /> She stated that public safety requested a right out for their vehicles and noted that it would make <br /> more sense to allow that action for all traffic. She noted that public safety was supportive of that <br /> option. She stated that Anoka County would like to see no new access onto County Road 5. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that Anoka County originally stated that they would not <br /> want to see an additional access, but if Ramsey public safety believed that access could be <br /> supported, the County would allow it. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that currently there is a driveway on the southern portion of <br /> the property, therefore this will not be an additional access. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if there is concern with the proximity to existing access points. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl noted that was not brought up as a concern by the engineering team. <br /> She noted that additional information could be brought back with final plat if desired. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich asked how long this road would be compared to Bowers Drive. She also <br /> asked if the cul-de-sac and barricade for emergency vehicles would suffice. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill replied that this would be significantly shorter than Bowers <br /> Drive as this would be several hundred feet long. He stated that Bowers Drive is a public road <br /> whereas this would be a private road that the City would not own or maintain. <br /> City Council/June 23,2020 <br /> Page 11 of 21 <br />
