City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARO N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE: (763) 427-1410 FAX (763) 427-5543 TOO (763) 427-8591 -156- February 1, 2002 John Darkenwald .f.R. Land and Cattle Co., LLL 7535 N.E. River Road ' Elk River, M2'4 55330 Re: Preliminary Plat Review - West Ramsey Industrial Park Dear Mr. Darkenwald: We have received your proposed preliminary plat for West Ramsey Industrial Park consisting of a Preliminary Plat, Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control and Street and Storm Sewer Plan, prepared by Roger A. Anderson and Associates, Inc. dated January 15, 2002. We offer the following comments: General: The proposed plat consists of appro,,dmately 17.29 acres and is generally located north of T.H. #10, on the City's common border with the City of Elk River. The preliminary plat is proposing to plat the property into 2 lots, an outlot for future development and a second outlot for conveyance to the City, when necessary, for a future street extension. The plat is also showing an outlot on Lot 2 that is owned by the City and shou!.d be removed from the proposed West Ramsey Industrial Park plat. Zoning: The property is zoned B-1 Business and the Comprehensive Plan designates 'this property for Places to Shop. Lot 1 is proposed to be developed with a light industrial use; to do so requires a rezoning and a comprehensive plan amendment. The City has received for a rezoning and a comprehensive plan amendment application that the Planning Commission will review on February 7, 2002 in conjunction with' reviewing the preliminary plat. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: Because the development proposal is industrial in nature, the plat will be reviewed under the Industrial zoning regulations. The minimum lot size and tot width in the Industrial District is 1 acre and 200 feet respectively. It should be noted that lot width is measured at the property line .abutting the street and continues to ~e building setback line. Lot 1 is approximately 4.3 acres in size and exceeds the 200~foot lot width requirement. Lot 2 is 2.3 acres in size and fronts on a cul-de-sac therefore not subjected to the 200-foot lot width requirement. City Code states that lots fronting on a cul-de-sac shall not have less than 80 feet of street frontage and that street frontage is measured from the building setback at right angles. It would appear that Lot 2 meets the 80-foot lot width requirement. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
