I I I I I I I March 29, 1995 Mr. Rick Murray Residential Development, Inc. 15 Choctaw Circle Chanhassen, Mn 55317 Re: Preliminary Plat Review; Fox Knoll Dear Rick: We have received th~revised preliminary plat for Fox Knoll which consists of one sheet dated March 20, 1995 and ~e Grading Plan and Utility Plan which consists of two sheets dated March 22, 1995, all of which were prepared by John Oliver & Associates, Inc. We offer the following comments: 1. General; AS a result of Metro Council's recent approval of Ramsey's request for a Metropolitan ~rban Service Area (MUSA) expansion, the subject property is now in the MUSA and zoned R-1 Urban Residential. The proposed plat has been revised to one of urban densi~ single family lots rather than rural density. The plat consists of approximatel~, 23 acres to be subdivided into 22 lots. 2. Access to Lot~: It will be necessary to extend 151st Lane N.W. into the plat as a cul-de-sac to provide puf~lic access to the lots. The length of 151st will exceed the 600 foot maximum for dead end Streets. However, the property to be developed is surrounded by wetlands and the extension of 151st is the only reasonable access to the developable high ground. The City kno~s from past experience that DNR will not approve bridging the wetland to create a throhigh street to Sunfish Lake Blvd. The cul-de-sac extending north of 151st, Quicksilver S~reet N.W., will not exceed the 600 foot maximum length. o Lgt Size. ~ and~Dimensions: All of the lots meet the 80 foot'width requirement (90 feet on corner lots) it either the front property line or the building setback line, and the 10,800 square foot mea requirement. Sewer and '~ ater Services; The parcel will be served by city water and sanitary sewer. Watermain i~ anticipated to be extended to the site along the north property line of the elementary se h0ol as early as June, 1995. Sanitary sewer will be extended to the western boundary of ~ he site by the extension of the sanitary sewer interceptor. This interceptor may be avaih ble to the site by August, 1995. The streets and utilities are proposed to be installed as a!private project with no financial participation on the part of the City. The trunk line in [51st Lane should be upgraded to a 12 inch pipe. Grading and Drainage Plan: Per the City Engineers comments at the sketch plan stage, a Grading and ~Drainage Plan has been provided that directs drainage toward the west and north. A sedimentation pond has also been provided to handle mn-off untill its discharge into the wetl~d.
