DEVELOPMENT By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Thc apprOved preliminary plat for River's ~end 3rd Addition consisted of 32 single fam~!y lots and 8 commercial lot~. The final plat for River s Bend 3rd Addition platted the fn'st 17 residential lots. The applicants hja.ve submitted a request for final plat approval of the second phase of the plat, which consists or'the remaining 15 single family lots and 1 of the commercial lots. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Approved prellmlrtary plat c) Prbposed final plat for River's Bend 4th Addition d) C~ty Staff review letter dated April 6, 1995 e) Pr0~ posed resolution for final plat approval 0 .l~posed development agreement Observations: The residential l~ts are in the Scenic River Overlay District for which the minimum lot size is 12,150 square fe~t Some of the lots do not meet this minimum area requirement on an individual basis but overall~ the density of the residential lots exceeds I per 12,150 square feet, which was acceptable to DNR at the .time ofprelimlnary plat approval. However, the depth dimensions of the lots on the cul-d~sacs is such that it somewhat restricts the style of homes that can be built on the lots and meet the~minimum setback requirements. The City Engineer has recommended that the radii for the cul-de-sacs be reduced to 50' to add more depth to the lots. City Staff is concerned with the commercial development of Lot I because of its location on a cul- de-sac with other~residential lots and the additional traffic impact it will cause to the intersection of Xkimo and T.H. i#47, an already hazardous traffic area. Staff recommends rezoning this lot to residential. : With respect to p3rk dedication, there is an agreement between, the City of Ramsey and Ramsey Center Parmersh!p dated January I0, I980 that exempts this particular property from any park dedication in lieu of property donated to the City and County for various purposes. The development agreement will require the developer to install a 2 inch diameter tree on every lot. In accordance wis the conditions placed on the plat at the time of preliminary plat approval, Xkimo Street has been p~tted with 70 feet of right-of-way. -The plat has been forwarded to Mn/DOT and Anoka County I~ ghway Department for review. Anoka County has expressed concern with the fact that the inter ;ecfion of Xlfimo Street N.W. and T.H. g47 does not align with the current or future intersection of C.S.A.H. #5 and T.H. ~g47; At the time of preliminary plat review, the intersection of XtSmo was to be located directly across from the point that C.S.A.H. #5 was to be relocated. Although this final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, comments from the County high~ ay department indicate that this intersection should be located further north than identified on this plat. The relocation could be accommodated consistent with Staff's previous recommendation flaat Lot 1 be replatted into single family residential lots, g7
