The primary entrance to the plat is the existing 194th Avenue entrance,which serves <br /> Nordic Woods. A connection north will be made at Boston Street and at Zumbro Street. <br /> Two cul-de-sacs will extend south. <br /> Lot Size and Configuration <br /> All of the lots meet the minimum lot width and depth requirements for internal and corner <br /> lots.
