P.O. Box 238 Champlin, MN 55316 Re: Site Plan Review: Alpine Acres Dear Tim: We are in receipt of your site plan to develop a townhome subdivision in the City of Ramsey. The site plan consists of a Site Plan Sheet, Natural Features Plan, Street and Site Plan, Grading and Erosion Control Plan (2 sheets), a Utility Plan, and a Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan (3 sheets) all dated April 25, 2003 and prepared by Elakanson Anderson. We are also in receipt of architectural renderings for the eight-plex, six-plex, and four-plex townhouse structures prepared by John Bradly and Lampert Architects. We offer the following comments: General: The subject property is approximately 42.4 acres in size and is generally located in the triangular area formed by the intersection of Nowthen Blvd, Sunfish Lake Blvd., and Alpine Drive. The site plan is proposing to develop a total of 202 townhomes (11 eight-unit buildings, 8 six-unit buildings, 12 four-unit buildings, 6 three-unit buildings) and 1 existing single family home for a total of 203 housing units. Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential. The proposed development contains an outlot in the southern portion of the plat along Alpine Drive that is zoned R~I Single Family. The R-2 Zoning District allows for townhome developments up to 7 units per net acre. All of the townhome units shown on the plat are located in the R-2 District. The City has received a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning request to change the outlot's designation in the Comprehensive Plan to medium density residential and rezone the property to R-2 Medium Density Residential in order for the outlot to be developed with townhomes. The Planning Commission will be reviewing the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning request along with a Preliminary Plat and Site Plan at their June meeting. Density: The subject property is limited to a maximum net density of seven (7) units per acre. The subject property is approximately 42.4 acres (gross) and the 203 units proposed results in a gross density of 4.8 units per acre. The net area (exclusive of wetlands and major road right-of- I I I I I I I I I I I' I I I I I I I
