City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 March 22, 1995 G~ Gorham 3538 Mississippi Drive N.W. Coon Rapids, Mn 55433 Re: Final Plat Review; Willow Ridge Dear Mr. Gorham: We have received the proposed final plat for Willow Ridge which consists of two (2) sheets prepared by Hakanson' Anderson Associates, Inc. We offer the following comments: .General ~ Zoning; The subject property is approximately 18 acres in size and has been rezoned from R-3 Urban Residential to R-1Urban Residential to facilitate development of the property with single family lots. As a result of Metro Council's recent approval to Ramsey's request for an expansion of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), the subject property is now in the MUSA.. ~ Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban Residential District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot area is 10,800 square feet. Ail of the lots in the plat meet the area requirement and the lot width requirement is met at either the mad frontage or the building setback line. The structure setback from Hwy. #47 is 110 feet from the centefline or 50 feet from the fight-Of-way line, whichever is greater. The plat reflects that all lots adjacent fo Hwy.#47 will be able to meet the structure setback from thoroughfare requirement. Access to Lots: All lots in the plat would be accessed by interior streets and no lots will have direct access onto Hwy. #47. A March 20, 1995, letter from Mr. Bill Warden of Mn/DOT reviewed a submittal by Mr. Peter Raatikka on behalf of the developer for an access on T.H. #47 directly across from 149th Lane. The submittal proposed the construction of a right turn lane on the east portion of the highway. Mr. Warden's letter indicated that in addition to the eastern fight mm lane, a similar lane would need to be constructed on the west side of T.H. #47 and that the existing access on 152nd Avenue N.W. be closed to direct traffic to the safer location at 149th Lane. Wetlands: There is a wetland in the south end of the plat which has been delineated and in accordance with the City Engineers request, copies of the delineation worksheet have been submitted for documentation in the project file.
