City of Ramsey 1515:~ NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 'l-rD (612) 427-8591 I I I I ! I I I I I I: April 6,~1995 Rick Foster 241 Main Street Elk River, Mn 55330 Re: Request for final plat approval of River's Bend 4th Addition Marly: ~ We have received the proposed final plat for River's Bend 4th Addition. The plat consists of two (2) shee_ts drawn by Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc., with a print date of March 20, 1995. We offer the following comments: General. The plat is a subsequent phase of an approved preliminary plat and proposes to plat Outlot~E and F of River's Bend 3rd Addition into 15 residential lots and 1 commercial lot. According to the preliminary plat, there would be 7 commercial lots yet to be platted following River's ~end 4th Addition. Zoning. Lots 2 through 16 of Block 1 are zoned R-1 Urban Residential and Lot t of Block 1 is zoned B-1 Business. City Staff is very concerned with the commercial development of Lot 1 because of its location on a cul-de-sac with other residential lots and the traffic impact to the interseC-tion of Xkimo and T.H. #47. Staff recommends that the developer rezone Lot 1 to residential and divide it into two additional lots. Lot Area and Dimensions. The residential portion of the plat is in the Scenic River Overlay Districf for which the minimum lot area is 12,150 square feet. Although each of the lots do not contain a minimum of 12,150 square feet, the average lot size in River's Bend 3rd and 4th AdditiOns overall exceeds 12,150 square feet and this was acceptable to DNR at the time of prelim~ary plat approval. Although the lots meeting the minimum width requirements, depth wise thOy are quite constricted and this substantially limits the style of home that can be built on the lots. City Staff is recommending that the radius of the cul-de-sacs be reduced to 50 feet to give more d~pth to the lots and flexibility to the development of the lots. StreetS, Neither of the cul-de-sacs exceed the 600 foot maximum length restriction. As noted above, ~ty Staff is recommending that their radii be reduced to 50 feet. The street name on 143rd Lane N.W. should be changed to 143rd Court N.W. In accdrdance with the approved preliminary plat, Xldmo Street consists of 70 feet of right-of-way and wo_-uld access onto T.H.g47. The plat has been forwarded to Mn/DOT and Anoka County Highway Department for review and comment regarding the alignment of the Xldmo intersection as it relates to the future relocation of the T.H.~47 and C.S.A.I-L #5 intersection. At the time of prelirm~nary plat review, the intersection of Xldmo was to be relocated 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 highway department indicate that this intersection should be located further north than identified on this plat. The relocation could be accommodated consistent with Staffs previous recommendation that Lot 1 be replatted into single family residential lots. qz I I I I I I I
