City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 · FAX (612) 42'7-5543 TDD (612) 427-8591 January 31, 1996 Kevin .Tohnson /ohnson Holdings P.O. Box 250 Isand, Mn 55040 Re: Landmark Community Bank Dear Mr. Johnson: We are in receipt of a Site Plan consisting of (1) sheet dated January I6, 1996, drawn by Korsunsky Krank Erickson Architects, Inc. The plan proposes to construct a bank on the west side of T.I-L g47 at I42nd Avenue N.W. We are aim in receipt of Building Elevations consisting of one (I) sheet also prepared by Krosunsky Krank Efickson Architects, Inc. and dated January I6, 1996; a Preliminary Grading a_nd Drainage Plan consisting of one (1) sheet prepared by Pumam Consultants P.A., dated January 16, 1996; and a one (1) sheet Landscape Plan dated January 15, 1996, prepared by Markell Laberee Design Group. We offer the following comments: Property History.;: The subject site is the current location of Ramsey's Old Town Hall and the former public works building. In preparation of the site plan, it became apparent that the current north property line extends into what should be the fight-of-way for i42nd Avenue N.W. It is also anticipated that MnDOT will require additional fight-of-way along T.H. g47. In negotiating for redevelopment of this site, the City has agreed to replat the property to accomplish the following: a) separate the Old Town Hall onto its own lot of record; b) dedicate appropriate right- of~way to 142nd Avenue N.W.; c) De&icate additional right-of-way to T.H. 4i47. Trunk Highway g4_7 Right-Of-Way: The site plan proposes dedicating an additional 12 feet of right-of-way, bringing the total right-of-way width to 45 feet west of T.H. ~7 centerline. This is consistent with the right-of-way width dedicated immediately to the south. Combined with the 75 feet of fight-of-way dedicated east of centerline, the trank highway has a total right-of-way of 120 feet. This width is adequate to accommodate the long term road section requirements identified in the current T.H. #47 Corridor Study. However, there would not be adequate right-of-way to accommodate a pedestrian/bicycle trail adjacent to the highway. It is recommended hhat the site plan be modified to add a trail along the southern boundary of the historic town hail property and along the wetland. This trail should then run along the south side of 142nd Avenue to provide a crossing opportunity at T. H. Zoning: The site is zoned B-1 Business for which a bank is a permitted use. Lot Coverage:_ The site is approximately 1 acre or 44,024 square feet in size. Lot coverage is restricted to 35% or 15,408 square feet. The proposed size of the principal structure is 2,500 square feet, which is in compliance with City Code. A possible future expansion of 1,500 square feet is noted on the site plan. The lot coverage resection would not be exceeded by such an expansion. Utilities: The facility will be served by municipal utilities. I I I I I I I I I, I I I I I I I
