I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Anoka County staff made it clear that the current platted RiVerdale Drive intersection cannot be changed until the appropriate government agency is able to take control of the property and at this point, the County is unable to' determine when that will occur. : Since Riverdale Drive is a designated MSA road, the Council inqu/red whether R/verdale Drive could be constructed to temporary standards until the realignment of Riverdale Drive occurred. MnDot Would require Riverdale Drive' to be constructed to MSA standards, however there are measures the City could take to reduce road construction.cost. - The City Council also questioned if the placement of the 12-inch waterline would be affected if Riverdale Drive were to be relocated, Staff and the developer have discussed. this issue and determined that the 12-inch waterline could be placed so that it would not'need to be relocated even if Riverdale Drive is required to be realigned in the future. · The City Council tabled action on the .prOposed prelhninary plat for Rivenwick 3~ Addition at the November 12, 2002 meeting. Recommendation: ' The realignment of Riverdale Drive will 0nly be required when the land to the south of the project area is developed and accessed as a Regional Park and when development occurs west of the subject property. The City is aware that MnDot anticipates upgrading the signalization'at the intersection of I-Iighway #t0 and Ramsey Blvd. in the year 2004. The City participation would be $5;000 if the City constructs the intersection of Highway #10 and Ramsey Blvd. as a four legged intersection prior to MnDot beginning their resignalization project. The City Council had previously discussed whether or not the City should, require an escrow from the Developer for the cost to realign Riverdale Drive in the future. Since the realignment of Riverdale Drive would be required only if and when future development occurs to the south and west, it seems more reasonable to require the developer to incur the cost of improvements required as a result of their project} namely upgrading the signalization at Highway #10 and' Ramsey Blvd. Staff is also recommending that the City Council approve the preliminary plat with the alignment of Riverdale Drive as proposed. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #03-01-OI0tol approve the Preliminary plat of Rivenwick 3rd Addition contingent upon compliance with City Staff review letter dated September 27,2002,. revised November 8, - 2002, revised January 1'0, 2003 and the developer receiving a rezoning of that portion of the subject property which is zoned B-1 Business. ~or~ Motion to deny. the preliminary plat ofR/venwic!< 3~a Addition.
