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 Staff review letter dated August 29, 2002, revised September 17, 2002, revised October 4, 2002 e) 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. south of 159t~ 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 Ramsey Blvd. from the main tract. The outlot is entirely wetland. Wurm-Paumen Properties, LLC is proposing to extend 158th Lane NW into the parcel to provide access to four of the lots. Due to the substantial amount of wetland on the property, Lot 1 will require access from Country Road 56. 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. -95-
