Strandlund: <br /> <br />We are in receipt of your preliminary plat to develop Alpine Meadows in the City of Ramsey. <br />The preliminary plat consists of' four (4) sheets dated January 15, 2002, Revised January 30, <br />2002, Revised March ti, 2002 received by the City on January 15, 2002 and January 31, 2002, <br />and March 12, 2002 and prepared by Midwest Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers, Inc. We offer <br />the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The subject property is approximately 8.7 acres in size (7.1 acres with major <br />right-of-way factored out) and is generally located in the southwest quadrant of T.H. #47 <br />and Alpine Dr. The preliminary plat submitted proposes to develop the property with 42 <br />townhome units. The townhomes will be subject to a site plan review for all other aspects <br />of the proposal including but not limited to architectural standards, off-street parking, <br />structure setbacks, and landscaping. <br /> <br />Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-3 Urban Residential. In the R3-U District, the <br />property can be developed to a density not to exceed 7 units an acre. <br /> <br />Density: The subject property is approximately 8.75 acres and the 42 units proposed <br />results in a gross density of 4.82 units per acre. Net density of the project is 5.91 units per <br />acre. <br /> <br />Streets: The sole access to all 42 units is from Alpine Dr. at a location approximately 400 <br />feet west of TH 47: This location is beyond the median on Alpine Drive and full turning <br />movements are possible at this access. Stafffinds the Alpine Dr. access acceptable. <br /> <br />City Ordinances limit the length of a cul-de-sac to 600 feet. City Ordinances also require <br />that the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the <br />continuation of ex/sting and future streets into adjoining areas. As part of the plat, the <br />applicant is proposing to preserve a future public right-of-way to the south boundary of <br /> <br />-177- <br /> <br /> <br />
