Review Letter: Wildlife Sanctuary Addition October 17, 1996 Page 2 of 3 4 10. Streets and Access: No street construction will be required. However, at the time the property is resubdivided, the lots will have to convert their access from T.H. g47 to an interior street. The location of the proposed future street shown on the resubdivision plan is directly across from 156th Avenue, which is consistent with the T.H. #47 Corridor Study. Mn/DOT is requesting that the final plat provide an additional 27 feet of right-of-way on both sides of the centerline of T.H. #47. Soils: Lot 2 must contain a minimum of 27,225 square feet of Class 1 soils to be deemed suitable for on-site septic system. Nymore soils, which are Class 1 soils, predominate ail three lots. Wetlands: There are a substantial amount of wetlands on the property and generally they are required to be delineated and encumbered on the f'mal plat as drainage and utility easements. The purpose of this policy is to prevent filling of wetlands. It is not likely that the filling of wetlands will occur in this plat for the purpose of creating one more building pad. Because there are so many wetlands on the property, the cost to delineate these would be substantial and Staff feels that it is not necessary until such time as the property is subdivided further. Drainage and Utility Easements: The standard drainage and utility easements around the per/meter of each of the lots is proposed. Grading and Drainage: The amount of grading anticipated to accommodate this plat should not significantly alter drainage patterns. Care should be taken to protect wetland areas from sedimentation as a part of the home construction. Park Dedication: The plat was reviewed by the Park Commission at their regular meeting on October 10. It was recommended that a cash contribution satisfy park dedication requirements. Transportation Impact Fee: Effective April 15, 1996, the City of Ramsey implemented a Transportation Impact Fee. The current rate is $500.00 for each new lot created, which amounts to a total of $500.00 in the case of Wildlife Sanctuary Addition. It is Staff's recommendation that the transportation impact fee be waived if the additional right-of-way requested by Mn/DOT is dedicated along T.H. 047. i I I I I I I I I
