Eli ks. .= F1k River cmvelMmmgnmrim River • In the short term, a water pumping station could be utilized that pumps water from the existing system.The pumping station would pump continuously to maintain pressure, which should be retained as an emergency means of providing water to the expansion area. • As development warrants, a water tower will be needed during Phase 1. • Additional wells and a water treatment plant (WTP) should be constructed when water demand warrants their construction. • Utilize existing grades to consider regional stormwater ponds. Transportation With the first phase of development, the City should try to preserve the right of way identified in Figure 21 as plats come in and as other improvements are made. In terms of development, it is expected that the more intensive uses will occur near CSAH 33 and the US 169 interchange. As a result, it is expected that the following transportation improvements will be needed by the end of Phase 1: • Converting CSAH 33 to a four-lane, divided roadway from Ranch Road connection through the intersection with CR 121. This upgrade should allow for the eventual conversion to a six-lane roadway. It may be that the roadway is built to a six-lane facility but striped as a four-lane until such time as funding is available to widen the interchange bridge and its ramp terminals. • Construct Proctor Road as a three-lane roadway(at a minimum) north of CSAH 33 to the connection with 221st Avenue. It may be that the roadway is widened enough to accommodate the eventual four-lane divided facility but is striped as a three-lane roadway. • Construct Proctor Road as a four-lane, divided roadway south of CSAH 33 through the southern development area of Zone 1. • Construct 221st Avenue as a four-lane divided roadway from Proctor to the US 169 intersection. The County and the City should continue to monitor the development situation—the timing of development and funding availability for some of the improvements may dictate that the roadway configuration for 2040 be built by the end of Phase 1. Phase 2 While Phase 1 has relatively good access to existing infrastructure, significant investment will be needed both publicly and privately,to provide transportation and utility access to Phase 2. Based on input from mining companies, mining is already completed in this Phase 2 area, and could be made available for immediate development. Phase 2 is 194 acres total, and is guided for industrial and commercial uses. This area could net 800,000 to 900,000 square feet of industrial and business/commercial space. Its location located near an interchange allows for either type of development to be successful in that area. Its location does not access the needed infrastructure to develop and the timing of development will be dependent on the completion of mining operations (and subsequent development) of areas south of the Phase 2 area. 52
