City of Ramsey PHOh E($12) 427'14101 FAX (612) 427-5543 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 TDD (612) 427-8591 August7,1996 David Tranby 17220 Tiger Street N.W. Rarnsey, Mn 55303 Re: Final Plat Review; Tranby Terrace 2nd Addition Dear David: We are in receipt of your proposed final plat for Tranby Terrace 2nd Addition consisting of one (1) sheet prepared by Kurth Surveying, Inc. We offer the following comments: 1. Zoning and General: The property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and single family residential lots are a permitted use under this zoning. The property is also subject to 4 in 40 density zoning and the 29.7 acre parcel is restricted to three (3) lots. The plat is proposed to consist of 3 lots; Lot 1 will accommodate the existing Tranby homestead, Lot 3 will be the location of the new Tranby homestead, and Lot 2 wilt be reserved for future development. 2. Resubdivision Plan: The property is located in the Rural Service Area, for which service with municipal water and sanitary sewer is very remote. Therefore, because of the 4 in 40 density zoning prohibiting further resubdivision of the property until sewer and water is available and the remoteness of those services, Staff is not requiring a resubdivision plan. 3. Lot Dimensions and Area: The minimum lot size in the Rural Service Area is 10 acres. Lots 1 and 2 meet this minimum but Lot 3 is proposed at 2.5 acres. It is Staff's understanding that Mr. Tranby has a buyer for his home on Lot 1 who desires a 10 acre lot. Mr. Tranby will build his new home on Lot 2, and intends to reserve Lot 3 for future development if and when 4 in 40 density zoning is repealed. Mr. Tranby's request for a deviation from the 10 acre minimum on Lot 3 is to lessen the impact of this minor subdivision on the future developability of the remainder of the property and retain as many options as possible for the resubdivision of Lot 2. At their meeting on July 2, the Planning Commission recommended approval of this deviation from minimum lot size requirements. 4. Streets and Access: All of the lots will have access onto Tiger Street N.W. By the proposed decticafion of a 33 foot wide easement on the common property line of Lots 2 and 3, Mr. Tranby is demonstrating his intent for a cooperative effort between the then- owners and/or developers of these parcels to extend a public road into the subject property to facilitate its ultimate development at some point in the future. 5. Soils: Ali of the lots must contain a minimum of 27,225 square feet of Class I soils to be deemed suitable for on-site septic systems. Virtually all soils on the subject parcel are classified as Nymore soils which are Class 1 soils. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
