7.08: Adopt Resolution #20-114 Approving Preliminary Plat for Hampton Homes (Project #19-140); Case of Platinum Land LLC Senior Planner McGuire Brigl reviewed the staff report and recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the Preliminary Plat contingent upon: 1. Compliance with the Staff Review Letter and Plan Review Comments. 2. Completion of a Noise Study and incorporation of any necessary mitigation elements. 3. Incorporation of turn lanes on Nowthen Boulevard at 146th Avenue with details of cost allocation addressed at time of Final Plat. Councilmember Menth asked what mitigating elements would be for noise. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl provided examples of landscaping or a noise wall. Councilmember Heinrich asked for input from public safety on the right turn option onto CR 5. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that public safety is supportive of the right out onto Nowthen Boulevard. Councilmember Musgrove asked if the noise mitigation would be for the existing residents as well as the new residents of this development. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that the noise study would be for the project site and therefore only the new townhome s . Deputy City Administrator Gladhill explained that Nowthen Boulevard would not trigger noise mitigation for the existing homes and that requirement would be specific to the new homes. He stated that the benefit would be to the people purchasing the newly created homes. Councilmember Musgrove stated that it does not appear that there would be room for a berm. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill provided different examples of things that could be used to mitigate noise, such as landscaping or fencing. He noted that the study would provide those examples. Councilmember Musgrove stated that Anoka County provided four options for CR 5, with one option being a right out only used for emergency or utility vehicles. She asked for input from staff. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that at this time the proposal is for a right out for any vehicles. She stated that public safety requested a right out for their vehicles and noted that it would make more sense to allow that action for all traffic. She noted that public safety was supportive of that option. She stated that Anoka County would like to see no new access onto County Road 5.
