City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55203 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TTD (612) 427-8591 Fcb~ 2I, I995 Mr. Rich Kerner Rout~ 1, Box 189 Isanti; Mn 55040 Re: Final Plat Review; Putter's Field DearS. Kemer: We ~e in receipt of your proposed final plat for Putter's Field, a minor subdivision proposing to replat.' Outlot B, Brook View Estates into one buildable tot.. We offer the following comments: General: Outlots are not considered to be buildable by the City of Ramsey. The minor subdivision process is used to eliminate the outlot designation and replace it with a lot and block number, therein making the property buildable. Accordingly, the plat has been named and the lot was assigned a lot and block number. Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential which permits the development of single family lots served by on site well and septic system. Lot Sizes.'. The subject parcel is located in the Rural Transition Area, for which minimum lot size is 2.5 acres and the density is restricted to 4 units in 40 acres on a pro rata basis. The subject property is approximately 1.4 acres in size. Records regarding the platting of Brook View Estates in the early 1970's are minimal and Staff feels that the area known as Outlot B probably should not have been designated as such. Although there are some wetlands on the parcel, there should be a sufficient amount of high ground to accommodate a building pad and on-Mte services and based on that, the Planning Commission granted sketch plan approval and advised you to proceed to final plat the property. Lot Dimen~j0n~; The parcel meets the 200 foot minimum lot width on a public road requirement. ..Wetlands: There can be no filling of wetlands to construct a driveway or building pad. Preliminary environmental surveys have been performed and it is believed that there is a sufficient amount of buildable land. However, because the wetland delineation was performed during the time of year when vegetation is not evident, the City cannot warranty the buildability of the property. Drainage: Drainage is to a landlocked wetland located witkin the lot. The development of a single family residence should not significantly affect drainage in the area. In accordance with recommendations at the time of sketch plan api3roval, the final plat re- dedicates the existing 5 foot drainage and utility easement parallel to 170th Lane and dedicates the standard 5 foot easement on the common property lines, which are the south and east property lines in this case.
