The sketch plan consists of two (2) <br />sheets dated May 30, Z008, prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. We offer the <br />following comments: <br /> <br />1. General: The subject property is approximately 5.08 acres in size and is located south of <br />Highway 10 at the border of the Cities of Ramsey and Anoka. The sketch plan is <br />proposing to plat a lot for the existing commercial use and one outlot for the remaining <br />undeveloped parcel. There are currently four (4) accessory structures on the proposed <br />outlot that will need to be removed upon recording of the plat. You stated during our <br />phone conversation on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 that your plan was. to record on the <br />abstract document that those buildings shall be removed upon sale. <br /> <br />2. Zoning: Currently, the property has dual zoning; E-l Employment and R-l Residential. <br />The proposed Lot 1 will contain the existing industrial use and remain zoned E-l <br />Employment. The proposed Outlot A would continue to have a dual-zoning designation <br />of R -1 and E-l. City staff finds this acceptable in this instance, as the City's <br />Comprehensive. Plan is in the process of being updated. Through that process, the land <br />use designation and zoning can be amended so that Outlot Ahas one zoning designation. <br /> <br />3. Mississippi River Overlay District. A portion of Outlot A is located in the Mississippi <br />River Overlay District. All development projects in this District that include platting the <br />property are required to submit a Site Development Plan. The district states that the <br />development shall preserve 50% of the land as open space, and restrict impervioUs <br />(rooftop and pavement) to 25% of the lot area (or up tq 35% with a Conditional Use <br />Permit). It is also noted that the maximum structure height in the Overlay District is 35 <br />feet. Compliance would have to be verified at the time Outlot A is developed. <br /> <br />4. MississiplJi River Regional Trail CorridorlKing's Island Access. The proposed Outlot A <br />currently contains a road easement dedicated to the city of Ramsey.
