Ramsey, MN 55303 RE: Sketch Plan Review for Business Park 95 5th Addition Planning Commission Members: Hakanson Anderson has been engaged by the City of Ramsey to prepare a plat in the Business Park 95 Addition for the purpose of conveying property amongst Julian Johnson, Bjorklund Concrete and the City of Ramsey. The sketch plan consists of one sheet dated March 19, 1997. We offer the following comments: General: The proposed plat is in the Industrial District and consists of two lots and two outlot. The City of Ramsey is interested in retaining and preserving the substantial tree cover on the west end of the Bjorklund property for screening of heavy industrial uses from light industrial uses on the west side of Unity Street N.W. To compensate for the 16,975 square feet to be added to the City's property from Bjorklund, Julian Johnson will convey 19,250 square feet to the east end of the Bjorklund property in exchange for the City conveying 15,660 square feet of the former Outlot B Business Park 95 to the southern end of the Julian Johnson property. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: Both of the newly platted lots for Bjorklund and Johnson meet the one-acre minimum lot size requirement, and the Johnson property will retain it's 200 feet of frontage on Industry Avenue. As with respect to public access, the Bjorklund property currently has an easement with the property to the north for access onto Unity Street N.W. o Grading and Drainage Plan: With this plat the City will prohibit continued drainage onto the City's Outlot and it is anticipated that the development agreement will require establishment of a berm to stop the drainage from entering this area.
