McDonald Second Addition Sketch Plan Review August 31, 2001 2 of 2 Drainage: The sketch plan does not indicate drainage patterns. It is Staffs understanding that this proposed sketch plan does not significantly alter ex/sting drainage pattern, however, before final plat is approved the applicant should supply information that clearly delineates drainage patterns. Both e~sting and proposed patterns should be shown. Additionally, it is staff's recommendation that approval of this sketch be contingent upon the property owner taking fulI responsibility for adequate drainage away from structures. Access to Lots. The subdivision is not proposing construction of new streets into the plat. The two newly created lots will receive public access from Variolite Street. The City will be requesting that the two newly created lots share an access onto Var/olite Street. Staff is also requesting further information on the proposed driveway Iocations for the newly created parcels. It should be noted that the placement of the driveways should be situated on lots to allow for access to ultimately be gained from a road located wi~n the plat to eliminate ali accesses on Varialke Street. Utilities: All lots vrilI be served by on-site sewer and water. Park Dedication: In minor subdivisions, the City requires park dedication for each new lot created and the ex/sting homesteads are exempted. The plat will be reviewed by the Park Commission at their September meeting to determine if the required park dedication fee Mil be met by cash, land or a combination of both. Trail Fee: The City has established a trail development fee at a rate of $325 per unit. This fee must be paid for the new lots created prior to release of the final plat for recording. Stormwater Management Fee: The City has enacted a Stormwater Management Fee at a rate of $375.00 per unit; the existing homesteads will be exempted in this case. The Ramsey Planning Commission will be meeting at 7:30pm or'immediately following 7:00pm Board of Adjustment on Tuesday, September 4, 2001 at the Ramsey Fire Station #2 located off of Armstrong Boulevard, to consider your request for sketch plan approval of the m/nor subdivision. It is important that you, or your representative, be present to answer any questions that may arise. Questions regarding park dedication may be directed to Parks and Utilities Supervisor Mark Boos.
