Memo to P]snning Commission May 28, 1996 Streets 3 The proposed road (Ivanhoe Street) off of County Road 33 (CR 33) will terminate in a cul-de-sac near the southern boundary of the property. The proposed 208th Avenue will be extended to the western property line so that it can be continued ff and when the adjacent property subdivides. The streets will be 32 foot wide rural streets with bituminous curbs. The Ivanhoe Street is situated in such a way that the rows of trees along the existing driveway can be preserved. The plat shows a 50 foot right-of-way along CR 33. In a letter dated May 17,1996, the County Highway Department requested that the developer provide an eastbound right turn lane from County Road 33 on to Ivanhoe Street and that it be designed in accordance with the MnDOT Road Design Manual. The County also indicated that access on to CR 33 will require a permit from their office and that stop signs will be required for Ivanhoe Street at CR33, to be paid for by the developer and installed by the County. They also ~noted that CR 33 is not a County State Aid Highway as shown on the plat. Landscaping In the past, developers of urban subdivisions have been required to plant landscaping and screening material to serve as a buffer when residential lots abut county roads. The Commission may wish to consider requiring landscaping and or a berm along County Road 33 to serve as a buffer for the two lots with frontage on that road. The subdivision regulations also require street trees, with a diameter of not less than 2" be planted at intervals of at least one every 60 feet. A landscaping plan has not been provided.
