Ramsey, Mn 55303 Re: Minor Subdivision Dear Mr. Hunt: We are in receip~of your sketch for the proposed minor subdivision consisting of one (1) sheet prepared by E.G.:Rut & Sons, Inc. dated July 12, 1996. We offer the following comments: ~ The proposed plat is a minor subdivision that proposes to subdivide a 40 acre parcel int6 3 lots. The minor plat will separate the two existing homesteads onto their own lots of re4zord and it is assumed that the third lot will be retained in the family for agriculturell purposes. The right-of-way for both County Road #63 and County Road #5 should be ;dedicated to the County on the final plat document. Zoning; The property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and is located in the Rural Service Area. A minor plat of 3 lots in 40 acres is in compliance with the 4 in 40 density restriction. Subdivisions in the Rural Service Area are not required to submit a resubdiviston plan to reflect ultimate resubdivision plans when sewer and water are available. Lot .Sizes: The Lot 1 (29 acres) is in compliance with the 10 acre minimum lot size in the Rural Service Area. Lot 2 (8 acres) and Lot 3 (3 acres) do not comply with the minimum lot size requirement. 4. Lot Dim e~sion s: All 3 of the lots have at least 200 feet of frontage on a public road. Wetla n ds i Any wetlands on the property should be identified and designated as drainage and utility easements. o Drainage:: The standard drainage and utility easements have been provided around the perimeter of each of the lots. County Ditch No. 27 is also proposed to be dedicated as drainage easement on the plat. Development of an additional single family residence on proposed LOt 3 would not significantly alter drainage in the area. If this lot is developed in the future, it culvert should be placed beneath any driveway proposed to service the new residence.: Access to,Lots. If and when Lot 1 develops, an access permit onto County Road No. 63 will be required from Anoka County. Lot 2 has an existing driveway on County Road No. 63 and~Lot 3 has an existing access onto County Road No. 5. The plat has been forwarded tO the Anoka County Highway Department for review and comment.
