I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I I I Preliminary Plat Review Letter: Alpine Estates Page 3 of 3 March 21, 1997 drainage from the subject development and also adequately provides drainage from property to the north. 10. Land~cape plan: A Landscape Plan has been submitted that was prepared by Breaker Landscape Designs and is dated February 4, 1997. The text on this sheet should also be corrected to reflect a six (6) foot, rather than a five (5) foot, setback on the garage side of the property. Because this area is mostly pine trees, the developer will be required to submit a tree disposal plan for City staff approval to ensure that the disposal methods will not create a breeding ground for the pine bark beetle. City staff is also requiring that the Landscape Plan be modified to include a size of the plantings to bo established and recommending that the 15 Betula Platyphylla be replaced with Betula Pendula. In addition, there are a considerable number of smaller "volunteer" Norway Pines that should be mechanically transplanted within the plat. These trees should be relocated to provide screening to the north - with any extra trees situated in locations desired by the owner - but not immediately south of the street intersection. This, and the use of tree save fences by the home builders will fulfill the terms of the City's Tree Conservation policy. 11. Utilities: We have received a Preliminary Utility Plan prepared by Charles W. Plowe, consulting engineer, that is dated February 10, 1997. 12. Park Dedication; It was agreed in the purchase agreement for the property that there would be a cash payment to satisfy park dedication and that the selling price of the property, $10,500 per lot created, would include the $825 per unit park fee. This fee will be used for the development of Alpine Park on the south side of 153rd Avenue. The City Council will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25, 1997, at the Ramsey Municipal Center, to consider your request for preliminary plat approval of Alpine Estates. A copy of the case cover sheet is enclosed for your information. I suggest that you, or your representative, be present at the meeting to answ,er any questions that may arise.
