-244- The property is also subject to the Ramsey Park and Trail Plan and will be required to dedicate a 75-ft. trail corridor connecting Central Park and Elm Crest Park. A revised preliminary plat was submitted that shows the trail corridor. The exact area of the trail will need to be verified before the Park Commission can draft a formal Park Dedication recommendation. On September 24, 2002 the City Council reviewed the preliminary plat and tabled the request pending receipt of additional information on access to CR56 and soil suitability for two on-site septic systems on each lot. At the October 8, 2002 City Council meeting, staff reported that Anoka County had indicated that they had not yet heard from Anoka County regarding the relocated driveway access. Staff also presented information showing that all lots are able to support a septic system with a primary and alternative drainfield site. The' City Council also had a discussion regarding the location of the wetland on Lot 1, Block I and the possible flooding of the lot. After some discussion, the City Council tabled action on the proposed preliminary plat in order to 1) receive comments from Anoka County regarding access onto County Road 56 (Ramsey Blvd.) and 2) allow City Staff to review the wetland location and the possibility of flooding on Lot 1, Block I. Since that meeting, staff has received a review letter from Jane Pemble of Anoka County regarding access issues for the plat. The letter is attached and will be discussed by Staff at, the Council meeting. In addkion, City Staff visited the site to look at the location of the wetland and review the possibility of flooding of the lot. Review of the site indicated' that the wetlands as shown on the plat are correctly located and that flooding of the house pad or the driveway is not a concern. Staff will be prepared to give a more detailed verbal report of their findings at the City Council meeting.
