o The new bituminous driveway serving the new home will be at or above <br />the flood plain driveway protection level. <br />• Replacement driveway will be created for existing house per Anoka County's <br />specifications. <br />• New County Ditch crossing: <br />o With new 48 inch concert culvert designed to reduce existing up -stream <br />flooding and replace current, inadequate culvert, improving Ditch flow. <br />o Will accommodate emergency vehicles (see prelim. specifications). <br />o Protect the Ditch's integrity with erosion control rip rap at the crossing. <br />• Removal of existing crossing with extensive Ditch improvement of flow and <br />properties (see preliminary specifications). <br />New home location access design: <br />• The only logical location for a new home site is north of the Ditch. This is <br />because: <br />o Heavily traveled Green Valley Road, a Major Collector not being <br />conducive to residential development. <br />o Access only form Green Valley Road; all other options require crossing <br />private property. <br />o Large commercial/agricultural facility (greenhouses and related <br />warehouse, parking, and retail) south of Green Valley Road not conducive <br />to residential devlopment. <br />o Cell Tower's visual impact and setback requirements curtail any <br />residential development in the south and southeast portion of the <br />Property. <br />o County Ditch and required 100-foot wide easement for the County Ditch <br />limit development in the western part of the property. <br />o Existing improvements limit the use of land in the south part of the <br />property. <br />o Flood Plain restricts use in the northwest part of the property limit <br />development. <br />o Existing trees dominate the western edge of the property; use of this area <br />for a new home will require the removal of trees. <br />• The Proposed location of the new home on the knoll north of the Ditch presents <br />an excellent location for the new home because: <br />o Except for the 10 box elder in the driveway, building the new home will not <br />require removal of any trees. <br />o The home has proposed access for service and emergency vehicles that <br />conform to the City Fire Marshall's standards and meet engineering <br />standards for access. <br />o The new County Ditch driveway crossing will help resolve the current <br />issue of upstream flooding. <br />o The surrounding land uses are residential. <br />5 <br />
