Preliminary Summary of City Engineer Plan Review Ramsey Town Center Plans Dated 27 August, 2003 Page 1 of 9 ,. Introduction This plan review is for Ramsey Town Center, proposed by Ramsey Town Center, LLC. The plans were dated August 27, 2003. This plan review was conducted in conjunction with submittal of the final plat to the City of Ramsey. Grading, Sanitary Sewer, Water, Storm Sewer and Street plans were submitted and reviewed for general conformance to city standards. The project covers 322 acres and full build out is scheduled to be constructed in phases. The initial construction will mass grade the entire site. Specific tolerances have been noted in the Grading section. The construction of the utilities and streets will also be phased and will be done under city and private developer contracts. The set of plans submitted was complete for the major streets. Additional detail must be added to the plans in order for a contractor to bid and construct the project. The review comments should not be considered as all inclusive, the construction documents for specific projects will need to be submitted and additional corrections may be found when those plans are reviewed. The comments from Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. and Bolton & Menk, Inc. are attached and shall be considered part of the staff review of this project. All plans need to have legends and additional labeling of features. The grading plans in particular need drafting changes (different line types and or line weights) to-make it easier to differentiate proposed contours, proposed curbs and walks and Proposed buildings. General Comments The cover sheet index must be expanded to list the street names and page numbers for streets and storm sewer and water and sanitary sewer plan and profiles. An index sheet in the plan set similar to sheet 23 will be necessary. Plat Review The final plat includes the major streets, several lots in scattered blocks and outlots. Each outlot will need to be platted and all plans will need to be reviewed by staff prior to construction on each parcel. Each outlot shall be subject to standard drainage and utility easements as approved by the City Engineer during the platting process. Lot 1 Block 2 does not need to be platted at this time as the negotiations for installing then later moving the park-n-ride to the permanent location is not in the best interests of the City and the State of Minnesota. · The legal descriptions are not complete. · The trail easement along the north side of CR116 is not shown and the plat drawings are not to scale. · The Anoka Electrical easement must be vacated or the right of way for Civic Center Drive must be shifted north to provide room for installing the road and utilities with out any conflicts. We understand a meeting has been scheduled with the electric utility to resolve this issue. · The alignment of the' north end of Rhinestone Street needs to be shifted east to align with the plat of Town Center Gardens on the north side of the road. There are some significant trees north of CR116 that are being preserved. Coordinate the alignment with Brightkeys Development and their Engineer, Pioneer Engineering. Last printed September 15, 2003
