City of Ramsey 15~53 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (612) 427-8591 November 29, 1995 Mr. Rick Murray Residential DeVelopment, Inc. 15 Choctaw CiVic" - Chanhassen, Mn 55317 Re: Sketch Plag Review; Fox Knoll 2nd Addition Dear R~clc We have reccivr, d thc sketch plan for Fox Knoll 2nd Addition which consists of one sheet prepared by John Olive~ & ASsociates, Inc., and dated November 14, 1995. We offer the following commenm: - e General:_ The subject property is zoned R-I Urban Residential and consists of approxi~nately 25 acres proposed to be subdivided into 42 single family lots and one comme/,cial lot. The m'ea designated for commercial development conflicts with the current zoning iand the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff feels su:ongly that this area should remain as planned, single family residential, and staff will not recommend proceeding to prelim.i~ary plat with this plan. The conversion of this commercial lot to single family use may haq, e a substantial impact on the street plan. Access yoLots: Thc plat is proposed to receive one access from 153rd Avenue N.W. and one fro~ Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. (C.S.A.H. #57). The sketch plan has been forwarded to the Anoka County Highway Department for comment. All of the lots would receive access h'om interior streets. The cul-de-sac proposed does not exceed the 600 foot max~mtim length restriction. Transt~°rtation Immcts: On November 20, 1995, the Ramey City Council approved the impleix~ ntafion ot~ a Transportation Impact Fee. At this time, the fee. is proposed at $500.00 per lot. The exact implementation details have not been finalized but Fox Knoll 2nd A&tifion is potentially impacted by this new fee. ~t Sizes and Dimensions: All of the residential lots platted meet the 80 foot minimum lot width r.~luirement (90 feet on comer lots). Future revisions or preliminary plat drawings will hav~_' to verify that all of the lots meet the I0,800 square foot minimum lot size. Sewer and Water Services: The parcel wig be served by city water and Sanitary sewer. The fee[rifle owner of the subject property must submit a petition requesting.the extension of the services. ~)minag~ and Utili _ty Easements: A Grading and Drainage Plan will be required at the time of prelihainary plat. Drainage should be directed toward the east into Wetland #114. ProvisiOns will need to be made for sedimentation prior to discharge into the wetland. A low det3ression located in the southeastern portion of the plat may aisc provide an opportunity for drainage, however, there is no outlet from this wetland and an analysis of the impact on this low area will need to be addressed if it is to be utilized for drainage.
