The sketch plan consists of one sheet prepared by Lot Surveys Company, Inc. We offer the following comments: General: The subject plat is a replat of Lots 1 and 2 of Ramsey Commercial Park. The purpose of the replat is to create a smaller commercial lot for the buyer of the existing structure on Lot 1, create two additional lots from the remainder of Lots t and 2, and create a new lot and block for the remnant of property on the south side of 153rd resulting from the construction of 153rd. 2. '.Zoning; The property is zoned B-1 Business. Lot Sizes .and Dimensions: The minimum requirements for B-1 lots in the unsewered area is I acre in area and 200 feet of frontage on a public road. Lots 1 and 2 of Block 1 and Lot 1 of Block 2 meet these requirements.' The plat proposes to utilize .1 acre of City property to meet the road frontage requirement on Lot 3, Block 1. The City is interested in cooperating in this effort in exchange for road 'right-of-way to be provided for a future public road to access landlocked property to the northwest. To that end, Staff is recommending that the City join in the plat. · F.uture R0ads: City Staff has identified a need to provide public access to landlocked property northwest of the subject plat. In accordance with Staff's request, the sketch plan proposes to provide property for future fight-of-way across the northeast corner and along the north property line of Lot 3, Block i. Staff is recommending that this right-of-way be identified as two outlots rather than 'Outlot A' and 'Street Easement'. The City will retain ownership of these' two outlots hnd development agreement will state that if at some future date it is determined that one or both of these outlots are not necessary for road purposes, they may be deeded back' to the adjacent property owner. Remant Property; There is a small remnant of City property not necessary to the plat that is located east and north of Outlots A and B respectively on the sketch plan. Since the City is considering joining in the plat for the purposes of meeting road frontage requirements and providing future road right-of-way, Staff is recommending that this remnant of City property be included in the plat as an outlot, also to be retained by the City. Structure Setbacks: The sketch plan indicates that the existing structure on Lot 1 is in conformance with required setbacks in the B-I Business District.
