We offer the <br />following comments: <br /> <br />General and Zoning: The subject property is approximately 22 acres in size <br />and except for a small portion in the southeast corner of the plat, a majority <br />of the property is zoned B-1 Business. The revised preliminary plat <br />proposes to reduce the number of single family residential lots from 45 to <br />40 and increase the size of the commercial ouflot to approximately 8.75 <br />acres, ff the Planning Commission and City Council find the plan <br />acceptable, the developer should make official application for a rezoning to <br />facilitate the development of the residential lots. <br /> <br />Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban <br />Residential District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot <br />area is 10,800 square feet. Thc revised preliminary plat verigie, s that these <br />standards are met either at the street frontage or the building setback line. <br /> <br />Streets and Access to Lots: Access to the plat is proposed to be provided <br />from 153rd Avenue N.W.; in accordance with Mn/DOT's <br />recommendations, none of the lots will have direct access onto T.H. g47. <br />In accordance with Staff's recommendation, 152nd Avenue N.W. has been <br />platted to the west boundary of the plat to provide future access to the City <br />of Ramsey property. There are 40 lots which will be dependent upon a <br />single access point, the intersection of Germanium Street N.W. and 153rd <br />Avenue N.W. Consideration should be given to grading an emergency <br />access from 152nd Avenue N.W., west across City property to the northern <br />City Hail access. <br /> <br />Trunk Highway 47; Mn/DOT recommends that the dedicated right-of-way <br />for T.H. #47 be a minimum of 50 feet, but preferably 60 feet, from <br />centefline. The Trunk 47 Corridor Study, which is currently in progress, <br />also recommends the acquisition of 60 feet from centerline throughout the <br /> <br />115 <br /> <br /> <br />
