As part of the plat, 145th Court will be extended another 200 feet to serve additional lots being created as part of the plat. The sketch plan does not show any proposed access to or from the subdivision using Fluorine St. N.W. Three cul-de-sacs will be created to serve the single-family lots. The drives serving the townhomes and the apartment building wilt be private and maintained by the Homeowners Association. City ordinances state that private streets shall not be allowed in Ramsey. However, past practice has been to allow them in certain developments. Ail public and private streets shall _be named in conformance with the City's street grid pattern. The City of Ramsey sidewalk ordinance calls for sidewalk to be installed on all public roads except cul-de-sacs. Information supplied with the preliminary plat only partially complies with the sidewalk ordinance. Additional sidewalk needs to be constructed on Iodine St. and that part of 144th Lane northwest of Fluorine Court. The preliminary plat does show a continuation of the City trail system through this property. The trails will be reviewed in further detail by the Park Commission. Lots: All of the lots meet the minimum dimensional and area requirements. Eighteen lots are subject to regulations governing shorelands. The DNR and City staff has. reviewed the proposed subdivision and has found that all lots within the Shoreland District comply with shoreland regulations. Language will be put in the development agreement requiring Lots 1- 7, Block 1 to maintain a shore impact zone, 50-foot area where no vegetation will be allowed to be cut. Performance Standards: Site Plan Review of the town.homes and apartment building will establish appropriate performance standards relating to setbacks, lot coverage, landscaping, parking, screening, architectural standards, minimum floor areas, etc. Gradint and Drainage: The site has-a rolling topography and is bounded on the west and south by DNR protected wetland 114p, Drainage from the development is collected by storm sewer and is transmitted into four detention ponds which are located throughout the development. The exception to this are the seven single family lots on 145th Court which will drain eastward into the detention pond located at 145th and Junkite Street. The adequacy of these basins will need to be confirmed by the Lower Rum River Water Management Agency (LRRWMO) through their permitting process. This permit will also address the adequacy of the erosion control measures, during construction. All yard grades must be greater than one percent. Grades flatter than two percent will be required to have a grading certificate showing that the actual grade conforms to the approved grading plan prior to an occupancy permit being issued. The existing grading plan needs to be revised so that elevations are listed at each lot connection. The plan also proposes steep grades along the sedimentation pond and wetland in the _ .~-289-
