Review Letter: Muller Addition Page 2 of 3 November 14, 1996 The homestead and accessory buildings located on the proposed Lot 1 will exceed the setback requirements for the R-1 Rural Residential District. UtilitieS: The property is not located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and all 3 lots willlcontinue to be served by on-site septic and well. As a matter of fact, there is an 'exception identified in the southwest comer of Lot 1 that was intended to provide area needed for septic system improvements for the strip mall to the west. Some time ago, Mr. Muller and Mr. Gerald Bauer, the new owner of the strip mall to the west, applied for an adminisla'ative subdivision allowing Mr. Muller to convey additional property needed by Mr. Bau,r to upgrade the septic system. That administrative subdivision was approved by City Staff but the applicants never followed through and recorded the subdivision at the County. Therefore, that 'exception' area does not exist as shown. It is staff.s recommendation that the 'exception' area be platted as an outlot in the plat and following the recording of the plat, Mr. Muller can convey the outlot by deed to Mr. Bauer and f'malize that former transaction. ~ The purpose of the replat is to move property lines and does not create any additional buildable lots. Therefore, there is no impact to the existing drainage pattern on the property. The standard 10 foot wide drainage and utility easements along all of the property lines are proposed to be provided. As a result of the replat, all existing drainage and utility easements will have to be vacated and that process has been initiated. Park Dedication: Since no new lots are being created, there is no park dedication due on the plat.: However, there is an important segment of transporational trails planned for adjacent to T.H. g47. City Staff is requesting that in lieu of vacating the 39 foot wide easement' along the east property line for public purposes, that it be rededicated on the plat as a linear park or by a separate, recordable document, the City be provided with an easement' for trail purposes along the east property line. For information purposes, the plat will be reviewed by the Park Commission at their regular meeting on Thursday, November 14, 1996. The Ramsey Planning Commission will be meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 19, 1996 to consider your request for sketch plan approval of Muller Addition. The Park and Recreation Commission will also be meeting at Ramsey Municipal Center on Thursday, November 14, 1996 at 6:00 p.m. It is~important that you, or your representative, be present at these meetings to answer any questions that may arise. Thank you for your cooperation in this process. Respectfully, CITY OF RAMSEY Sylvia Frolik Zoning Administrator City Engineer '7
