Corridor Study Area, along with the standards and requirements of the underlying zoning district would govern the development of this area. The following paragraphs summarize those requirements and the manner in which they may be satisfied as this proposal advances. Special Requirements, Highway 12 Corridor: A. Minimum Area As currently drafted, the special requirements for rezoning in the corridor area call for a minimum of five acres. There has been some discussion about the increase of this minimum to ten acres. However, since the subject application includes 32.6 acres, it is well in excess of the minimum area requirements. B. Access and Circulation Plan As noted above, key access and circulation issues will be resolved when the specific alignment of the proposed frontage road is determined. The section on the recorimended alternative for this area states that the residential area would be served by a cul-Os-sac or circular road off Brown Road with no connection to the west, if the frontage road is installed. Consequently, the proposed design would meet this standard, provided that appropriate commitments can be negotiated for the location and construction of the proposed frontage road. Some comments regarding the design of the proposed residential street are included in a later section of this report. C. Sanitary Sewer Availability The City's engineering consultant has reviewed this application and states in his report that the site can be served with sanitary sewer through Long Lake (joint pcwers agreement) or by constructing a new interceptor line as described in the Trunk Highway 12 Corridor Sanitary Sewer Study prepared by his office. D. Stormwater Management The City Engineer indi,.ates that a storm drainage plan will need to be developed to serve the area. The proposed ponding area will be located near the intersection of Brown Road and Trunk Highway 12. The applicants are aware of the need for the stormwater pond and the City's concern about the quality of runoff to area lakes, and have agreed to predare detailed plans to meet these standards.
