REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW FOR THOM_AS ANDERSON MINOR SUBDIVISION; CASE OF THOMAS ANDERSON By: Patrick Trudgeon, Principal Planner Background: Thomas Anderson and Roger Austin have submitted an application to subdivide the parcel that contains the Ramsey Dental Clinic into two parcels. The property is located in the southeast comer of Alpine Drive and Nowthen Blvd. The Ramsey Dental Clinic would be on one lot and a second lot will be held for future development. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) Site location map Sketch plan City Staff review letter dated August 29, 2002 Notification: Minor Subdivisions are not required to be subjected to a public hearing. Observations: The property proposed to be subdivided is approximately 4.53 acres. The applicant is proposing to divide the existing lot into two lots. Lot 1 contains the Ramsey Dental Clinic and is shown as being just under an acre in size. Lot 2 is vacant and is shown to be slightly over 3.5 acres in size. The subject property is currently zoned B-1 Business and the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan shows the subject property as Places to Shop. Any proposed use of Lot 2 will need to conform to the B-I zoning designation unless the property is rezoned. If a rezoning is proposed to be for a residential use, the applicant will need to also apply for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. In addition, the use of Lot 2 will require site plan approval from the City Council. The proposed parcels meet the half-acre minimum lot size requirement, fhe 100-foot width and 150-foot depth requirement established in the B-1 Business District. Currently, the property has one access from Nowthen Blvd. The access serves the Ramsey Dental Clinic and is expected to remain. It is presumed that Anoka County will not allow another access onto Nowthen Blvd. and Lot 2 will only'be able to receive access from Alpine Dr. Anoka County have been notified of the proposed subdivision. 24
