Case #3: Request for Final Plat Approval of Ramsey Meadows 3rd Addition; Case of Jack Menkveld Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that a preliminary plat was approved on May 26, 1992, for Ramsey Meadows, consisting of 29.5 acres to be subdivided into approximately 29 single family lots. Mr. Menkveld is proposing to final plat the third phase of Ramsey Meadows which consists of four lots and one outlot. She explained that the lots will receive public access from 149th Lane N.W. and that the public improvements were installed as a part of previous phases of Ramsey Meadows. She further explained that the ability to create Lot 4 of Block 1 is dependent upon filling certain wetland areas in accordance with the approved Wetland Mitigation Plan dated December 11, 1992. All mitigation plans approved under the interim rules must be completed by June 30, 1995, or the approved filling becomes void. Park dedication will be satisfied with a cash payment.

Case #4: Request for Final Plat Approval of Whitetail Meadows, a Minor Subdivision; Case of Larry Ferber Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Mr. Larry Ferber is requesting a minor subdivision to subdivide a 19-acre parcel located on the east side of Baugh Street, just south of Countryside Estates. She explained that the subject property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and is located in the Rural Service Area, for which minimum lot size is 10 acres and the density is restricted to 4 units in 40 acres on a pro rata basis. City Code states that if a parcel is not evenly divisible by 10, an additional lot may be developed if the size of the fractional pamel is at 75 percent of that required for a single lot. Ms. Frolik informed Council that the existing homestead will be located on Lot 1. Lot 2 would require an access onto Baugh Street (County Road #83). The Anoka County Highway Department has reviewed the plat and recommended that the access for Lot 2 be constructed within 30 feet of the north property boundary for LOt 2. They have also recommended the removal of some of the cedar trees in that area for improved sight distance. The plan submitted by the applicant proposes to comply with these recommendations. Ms. Frolik pointed out that the plan submitted indicates that there are two wells on Lot 1. It is intended that the southerly well is to be abandoned, however, the applicant wishes to continue using this well for irrigation purposes. Under those circumstances, the City should require a coliform and nitrate test be performed on the well to be sure that it is not polluted. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt Resolution #95-02-038 granting final plat approval to Whitetail Meadows. City Council/February 28, 1995 Page 4 of 14
