Special regulations pertain to the Mississippi Critical River's Area shown on Figure 2. The City has been limiting development in the Critical River's Area in accordance with the interim regulations administered by the EQB. The development restrictions outline appropriate densities of development, tree clearing limitations, fill limitations, building setbacks and other measures. There are different restrictions for the urban service area and rural area. Ordinance #88-11 addresses the key elements and provides for the following lot sizes and setback restrictions in the urban area. Ordinance #89-33, adopted December 19, 1989, further requires minimum residential lot sizes of five acres within the Critical River Area which are outside the MUSA. Review of the development proposals within the Critical River's Area will continue to be reviewed under the EQB's Interim Development Regulations until the City's final Critical Area Plan is approved. The City will be seeking approval for the Critical Areas Plan after approval of this comprehensive plan amendment. AREA STANDARDS AND PERMITTED USES FOR THE LOTS LOCATED IN THE CRITICAL RIVER AREA AND URBAN SERVICE AREA Mississippi River Recreational Corridor Trail A regional trail along the Mississippi River has been proposed since the late 1970's. Anoka County is the designated responsible unit of government for implementing and maintaining the trail since it will traverse several communities within the County. The City adopted Ordinance #90-02 which describes the alignment and right-of-way (ROW) width for the proposed regional trail. The ordinance was reviewed by Metropolitan Council and Anoka County prior to adoption. The City will work through the development process to provide trail ROW in accord with the ordinance. Figure 5 illustrates the proposed trail location and trail ROW widths. It is intended that the trail east of the Anoka County Park will be a single paved treadway serving primarily pedestrian and bikes. It is recognized that these users would ideally be on separate treadways where high volumes of use are expected; however, no use projections have been generated by either the County or Metropolitan Council. 29
