The property is zoned R-1 Residential and is located in the Rural Developing Area. The proposed major subdivision is a replat of the Kruger homestead that will create five lots that are all over the required minimum lot size of 2.5 acres as well as one outlot. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Preliminary Plat c) Planning Commission meeting minutes dated September 5, 2002 d) City Council meeting minutes dated September 24, 2002 e) City Staff review letter dated August 29, 2002, revised September 17, 2002, revised October 4, 2002, revised October 22, 2002 f) Letter from Anoka County dated October 9, 2002 g) Proposed Preliminary Plat Resolution Notification: State statute requires notification of preliminary plat public hearing to owners of property located within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify property owners within 700 feet of the subject property. Observations: Darrel Kruger owns a 28.5-acre parcel on Ramsey Blvd. (County Road 56) south of 159a' Lane NW. The developer, Wurm-Paumen Properties, LLC, is applying for a major subdivision that proposes five. new lots, all of which are larger than the 2.5-acre minimum required in the .R-I, Rural Developing Area, as well as one outlOt. The existing homestead as well as a second dwelling unit are located on prOposed Lot 5; both will be demolished and removed from the property as a part of the development. The plat also contains Outlot A, which is located across from the main tract. The outlot is entirely, wetland. Wurm-Paumen Properties, LLC is proposing to extend 158~ Lane NW into the parcel to provide access to four of the lots. Due to the substantial amount of wetland on the property, Lot I will require access from CR56. Staff has observed a 7-second reaction time for northbound traffic at the proposed driveway location for Lot 1; a 1 O-second reaction time is desirable. Anoka County is recommending that all right-of-access along CR56 be dedicated to the County. Once the best location of the driveway access for Lot 1 is determined, the remained of the frontage along Lot 1 will also need to be dedicated to the County. The County is also requesting a right mm lane for southbound CR56 at 158~' Lane NW. -243-
