In September the Commission had an opportunity to comment on concept plans for this development. The developers are now back before the Commission with a formal application. Given the scope of this project, the Commission is not expected to make a recommendation at this meeting. The developer will be looking for direction and comments on the overall plan and suggestions for any modifications. Following this meeting staff will continue to work with the developer to address concerns raised by the Commission. The developer will then submit revised plans for the November 24th Planning Commission meeting. Issues Some of the issues the Planning Commission may wish to think about include the following: • Density The applicant is proposing a commercial strip center anchored with a big box retail store and a home improvement center. The strip center will be 353,000 • square feet located on approximately 32 acres. The project also includes 8 freestanding lots. The proposed uses on these lots include a bank, 2 office sites, 2 restaurants, a fast food establishment, a convenience store and a retail store. When compared to the density of Elk Park Center, the density of this project is slightly less (6,600 square feet of space per acre vs. 7,000 square feet per acre in Elk Park Center). The Commission should comment on the density of the project; is the Commission happy with the proposed density or is it to dense for this particular site. • Land Use The Commission should consider the type of land uses that are proposed. Is it a good mix ? Given the limited access of lot 1, block 1, is a convenience store an appropriate use. Of the 5 lots along highway 169, three of them are food oriented, 2 restaurants and a fast food establishment. Since the back of the strip center and the loading docks will be facing a main north/south arterial, consideration should be given to lowering the grade of the loading docks and providing some type of buffer along Tyler Street. • Wetlands • \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\p98-8.doc Memo to Planning Commission/Elk River Crossing October 27, 1998 Page 3 • The applicant is working with the City on a wetland mitigation plan. The development as proposed will require the filling in about 2.79 acres of wetland. The plans showed 2:1 slopes around some of the wetlands and ponds; the City Ordinance limit slopes to 4:1 on slopes adjacent to pedestrian systems, ponding and sedimentation areas, or other water or wetland features. The Commission may wish to discuss the relationship between the density of the project and how it relates to the developers inability to provide slopes which meet the ordinance requirements. The developer also has the opportunity to incorporate the wetland at Crossing Road and County Road 12 as an amenity to the site. With mitigation and landscaping it could serve as a focal point at the main entrance to the project • Pedestrian Circulation Pedestrian circulation within the project and connections to adjacent properties including Main Street are important. An 8 foot bituminous trail is proposed along the west side of Crossing Avenue. It will extend from the intersection of Main Street and Highway 169 to Lot 5, Block 1, which is shown to be the site of a restaurant. A sidewalk is shown on the on the north III side of Crossing Avenue extending along parking lot for the big box retail and terminating at Lot 5, Block 3, which is shown to be a freestanding retail store. A pedestrian connection is provided between Lot 5 and the strip center. An 8 foot bituminous trail is shown on the south side of 181st Ave/ County Road 12 extending along the northern boundary of the plat. A sidewalk is proposed to be installed along the south side of the home improvement building and connect with Tyler Street. In order to provide for a safe pedestrian crossing of Crossing Avenue, the Commission should consider a sidewalk along the north side of the Crossing Avenue. The sidewalk should be continuous, extending from the intersection of Main Street and Crossing Avenue, along the north side of Crossing Avenue to a connection with Tyler Street. This would allow for pedestrians to cross Crossing Avenue at a controlled intersection and continue through the project. Pedestrian access as proposed would require people to cross Crossing Avenue at mid block in order to get to the businesses located on the east side of the street. Multiple pedestrian access through the parking lots should also be considered. The business park development directly south of this project is proposing a pedestrian connection between the two projects. Possible connections between the two should be examined at this time. • • Landscaping and Signage \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\p98-8.doc Memo to Planning Commission/Elk River Crossing October 27, 1998 Page 4 IIThe applicant will be providing a comprehensive landscaping and signage plan for the project. • Parking The parking requirements for the strip center is 1401 spaces. This is determined by dividing the retail space (227,000sf.) by 200 and dividing the home improvement center/garden center (133,00 sf.) by 500. The site plan provides for 1544 parking spaces, which exceeds the number of spaces required by 143. The Commission should consider whether the extra 143 spaces are really needed. If the extra spaces are eliminated, the developer would have more flexibility in site design and could possibly adjust the grading plan to meet the slope requirements. It would also allow for additional green space, landscaping and opportunities for pedestrian circulation. The required parking setback is 10 feet from the property line and the setback shown in front of the discount retail is 5 feet along Crossing Avenue. The development plan shows parking in the access drive in front of the strip center. The Commission should consider eliminating those 38 spaces. There • also appears to be 2 islands in front of the home improvement store; clarification is needed regarding those. Additional landscaped islands should also be considered in the parking lot to provide shade and break up the expanse of pavement. • Relation to the Central Business District The City is currently undertaking a visioning process for the central business district. It is likely that this development will serve as the eastern terminus of the central business district along Main Street. It is important that the Commission takes this into consideration when reviewing this project and find way to make the connection to the central business district. Methods to accomplish this include architectural treatments and building materials, pedestrian walkways, landscaping and lighting. • Architecture As in Elk Park Center there should be some type of unifying architecture that that is included as part of the building elevations. The Commission should consider the type of exterior materials and colors they would like to see as part of a comprehensive look to the site. • • Miscellaneous \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\p98-8.doc Memo to Planning Commission/Elk River Crossing October 27, 1998 Page 5 • There are several power easements and transmission lines that cross the project. The applicant should show those on the development plan so their impact on the different lots can be determined. There is a high pressure natural gas line that cuts diagonally across the site. The proposed location of the large retail store is on top of that gas line and will require the relocation of that natural gas line. This gas line and the associated easement should be shown on the development plan. It should also be noted the developer does not have ownership or signed purchase agreements with all property owners that are included as part of this development. The developer is currently working with those property owners on finalizing the purchase of those properties. • \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\p98-8.doc . • • _,. .. ,•41.

Green Company „1M,,,,T,n„BNIiINRkl4f CONSULTING ENGINEERS Formerly MSA Consulting Engineers October 23, 1998 File: 800112J-0240 Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: ELK RIVER CROSSING REVIEW Dear Planning Commission Members: We have done an initial review of the submittal package for the Elk River Crossing commercial development. As you are aware, this is the 70-acre Earl Hohlen property in the southeast quadrant of TH 169 and Main Street. It would be staffs hope to follow the Trott Brook Farms model in reviewing this project. In other words, we would hope to make a presentation on the major issues we see with this development at Tuesday's Planning Commission meeting. After the pudic hearing, we would hope for some discussion and direction from the Planning • Commission to the staff on how to proceed with these major issues. We would anticipate that the Planning Commission would table action on this development to their next meeting. By that time, staff and the developers can work to revise the submittal package and staff will have a detailed list of conditions prepared for the Planning Commission to consider. The submittal package consisted of an 8-page set of drawings, prepared by McCombs, Frank, Roos and Associates, a draft Environmental Assessment Worksheet, a wetland report and mitigation plan, prepared by McCombs, Frank, Roos, and Associates, and a Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by Benshoof and Associates, Inc. Based on our review, comments received at the staff review meeting, and meetings with the developers, we would summarize the major issues as follows: A. PROJECT DENSITY According to the Environmental Assessment Worksheet, the project is proposed to have sp to 404,200 square feet of commercial retail and office complex, located on 70.02 acres. Of the 70+ acres contained within the site, 9.12 of these acres are wetland; herefore the developable resulting acreage is 60.9. As a comparison, Elk Park Center, where Target and Cub Foods reside, was a development on approximately 50 acres that -ontain 374,000 square feet. It appears that Elk River Crossing has a density somewhat ,ess than that of Elk Park Center. • 0:1P ROJ1.3ii0 112j102401112.2101,oct.doc 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 612/644-4389 fax 612/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 OCT-23-1998 11: 19 P.03/06 Elk River Planning Commission • October 23, 1998 Page 2 B. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES I , The Traffic Impact Analysis report prepared by Benshoof and Associates, dated October 1998, projects the p.m. peak hour traffic at 950 trips into the site and 1,052 trips out of the site. They go on to predict that 80% of these trips will be new trips, and that 20% will be bypass trips. Bypass trips represent vehicles that were already on the highway for some other purpose and decide to stop at Elk River Crossing. . The report goes on to analyze the exterior street infrastructure surrounding the development, and proposes additional improvements that will be needed. They are as follows: a) Trunk Highway 169 and Main Street At this intersection, they recommend the addition of a second westbound left turn lane, from Main Street onto Trunk Highway 10, a second southbound left turn lane, from Trunk Highway 169 onto Main Street, and a separate westbound right turn lane with channelization. This recommendation will result in a six-lane Main Street at the east side of TH • 169. It may also require some changes to Main Street on the west side of TH 169 to make the geometry line up. b) Main Street and CSAR 13 At the intersection of Main Street and CSAH 13, which will be the major access point to the development, they suggest that the following intersection configuration is needed: • One eastbound left turn lane, two eastbound through lanes, and one eastbound right turn lane. • One westbound left turn lane, one westbound through lane, and one westbound through/right turn lane. • Two northbound left turn lanes and one northbound through/right turn lane. • One southbound left turn lane and one southbound through/right turn lane. The report goes on to indicate that the left turn lane into the old northbound liquor site needs to be eliminated, and the left turn lane onto Trunk Highway 169 extended. With the proposed improvements at Main Street and CSAH 13, major construction will be required between Trunk Highway 169 and this first intersection, including additional lanes and turn lanes. The report also indicates that this intersection needs to be • signalized to operate efficiently. Howard R. Green Company o:\PROD 8.30112j10240\112-2101.oct.doc CONSULTING ENGINEERS OCT-23-1998 11 19 P.04/86 Elk River Planning Commission • October 23, 1998 Page 3 Additional right-of-way will likely be needed from the plat to accomplish these proposed roadway improvements c) The site plan shows a right-in/right-out along CSAH 12, between the main entrance and the intersection of Tyler Street and CSAH 12, at the east edge of the development. The Traffic Impact Analysis report indicates that this access point will operate at a level of service B. It does not indicate whether a right turn lane and/or short acceleration lane will be needed for its efficient operation. It should be pointed out that this access point does not meet Sherburne County's adopted guidelines for access onto County State Aid Highways. This access is also of concern to City staff. d) CSAH 12/Tyler Street This is the main intersection with the City's new north-south transportation corridor along the east side of this development. The design of this intersection meets or exceeds the recommendation contained within the Traffic Impact Analysis. The Traffic Impact Analysis indicates that a signal control will need to be installed once Elk Park Crossing begins to • near full development. We have anticipated this in the design of Tyler Street and CSAH 12, and conduits are being placed for the future signalization of this intersection. e) Tyler Street/South Development Access The design of Tyler Street at this location meets or exceeds the Traffic Impact Analysis recommendation for lane configuration. Specifically, there will be a dedicated left turn lane into the site, which exceeds the Traffic Impact Analysis recommendation. One thing that Elk River Crossing should consider is future residential development east of this location. We would anticipate that there would be a four-legged intersection at some point in the future. f) Service Entrance/Tyler Street The Traffic Impact Analysis is silent on this intersection, but the site plan does show a full access to the rear of the large commercial sites off of Tyler Street. Staff would recommend that a right-in/right-out be allowed at this point for service vehicles, but that the median remain intact to preclude left turns at this point. • Howard R.Green Company O:IPROJIB?0112j102401112-2101.oct.doc CONSULTING ENGINEERS OCT-23-1996 11:20 P.05/06 Elk River Planning Commission S Octobe- 23, 1998 Page 4 The County will likely need additional right-of-way from this development along CSAH 12. The City would require that the development construct a 10-foot bituminous pathway along CSAH 12, from the intersection of Tyler Street to Trunk Highway 169. This will tie into the pedestrian facilities anticipated along Tyler Street and the north side of CSAH 12, east of the intersection of Tyler Street. The interior right of way is shown at 60 feet. There is no street section indicated. We believe that this right-of-way is too small to accommodate a commercial access road. It should also accommodate a sidewalk to connect Main Street with Tyler Street. C. Environmental 1. Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) The draft has been prepared and reviewed by City staff. The developer will be making the necessary changes and submitting the EAW to the City for signature and start of the public comment period. �. Wetlands • As indicated, a wetland report/mitigation plan has been prepared for the site. It was reviewed by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). Comments were given to the developer. After the changes are made and received by the TEP, joint notification will be given. County Ditch Sherburne County Ditch No. 10 meanders through this site. It is the City's intent to construct a storm sewer system along the Tyler Street alignment, which will eventually allow the abandonment of Sherburne County Ditch No. 10. This is the same process that was used with another leg of County Ditch No. 10 on the west side of Trunk Highway 169. The issue that needs to be resolved will be one of timing. The City and the developer will have to work with Sherburne County to accommodate timing of the construction of the storm sewer system and the abandonment of County Ditch No. 10 with the proposed schedule of the development of Elk River Crossing, 4. Corps of Engineers This project will require a Corps of Engineers permit. It is our understanding that the application for this permit has already been made, and is working its way through the process. • Howard R. Green Company O:1PROJ\E 00112j10240\112.2101.oct.doc CONSULTING ENGINEERS OCT-23-199E 11:20 P.06/06 • Elk River Planning Commission October 23, 1998 Page 5 Indirect Source Permit Because of the number of parking stalls, this project will require an indirect source permit. The developers have not made application for this permit as of yet. It will be required prior to any activity on this project. D. Utilities The City is proceeding with the Eastern Area Trunk Utility Improvement, which will bring sanitary sewer and water through Elk River Crossing. These utilities will be adequate to sewer the proposed development. E. Miscellaneous It should be noted that this proposed development does include three properties not yet controlled by the developer. There are three single-family lots along CSAH 12 that the developer is negotiating with the owners for their acquisition. ?_. Drainage plans have been submitted and reviewed. They meet the necessary on-site ponding and limit the peak outflow from the site to an acceptable level, • They may have to be adjusted slightly as the developers rework the wetland plan. 3. The 2:1 slopes shown in the ponds are unacceptable according to City policy. They need to be 3:1 or flatter. Again, reworking the wetland plan may address this issue, since the Wetland Conservation Act is more restrictive than City policy. 4, There are a few more minor issues that will be dealt with prior to the next submittal. If you l— ve any questions, we will be in attendance at your Planning Commission meeting. Sincerely, Howard R. Green Company Terry J aurer, P.E.
