'1 I City of Ramsey 1515~ NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (612) 427-8591 October 17, 1996 Kelsey Gustafson 15600 St. Francis Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, Mh 55303 Re: Final Plat Review; Wildlife Sanctuary Addition Dear Kelsey: We are in receipt of your preliminary plat for Wildlife Sanctuary Addition consisting of one (1) sheet prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. dated September 26, 1996. We offer the following comments: Zon.ing and General: The property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and single family residential lots are a permitted use under this zoning. The proposed plat consists of 3 single family residential lots; two of which will accOn-m~odate existing homesteads on the subject property. Rest~bdivision Plan: In accordance with City Code, a resubdivision plan~ has been superimposed onto the preliminary plat. This plan verifies that the location of the existing and proposed building pads should not hinder future resubdivision of the subject property to its ultimate density under urban standards. However, either the house pad for Lot 2 or the road~vay would need to be shifted slightly to accomodate the 35 foot setback from the future road. Appropriately, the resubdivision plan also provides for one access onto T.H. #47 and the future extension of through streets to adjacent parcels to the north and south. o Lot iDimensions and Area: The property is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and the minimum lot size for parcels in this district without City sewer and water is 1 acre. Lot 1 is proposed at 29.5 acres, Lot 2 at 7.5 acres, and Lot 3 at 2 acres. The minimum lot width in the Urban Residential District without City sewer and water is 200 feet. Lot width is defined as the measurement taken at the property line abutting the street. There is not 600 feet of road frontage on T.H.~ #47 to accommodate 3 lots. Three lots from 40 acres is not an unreasonable request and the homestead located at about the center of the 40 acres is currently landlocked. Therefore, City Staff is recommending approval of a deviation from the 200 foot lot width requirement on Lot 2.
