CASE # 7 REQUEST FqIR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF RIVER'S BEND 4TH ADDITION; CASE OF RICK FOSTER AND ART RAUDIO, R.F. DEVELOPMENT ~ By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: ~ The approved preliminary plat for River's _B, end 3rd Addition Consisted of 32 single family lots and 8 commemial lois. The final plat for River s Bend 3rd Addition platted the first 17 residential lots. The applicants ~ave submitted a request for final plat approval of the second phase of the plat, which consists ~ the remaining 15 single family lots. The following items arc enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Approved preliminary plat c) Proposed final plat for River's Bend 4th Addition d) Oj'ty S taft review letter dated April 20, 1995 e) 1:~'i oposed resolution for f'mal plat approval f) ~oposed development agreement Observations:[ The residential lots are in the Scenic River Overlay District for which the minimum lot size is 12,150 square _f,~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 DIOR at the time of preliminary 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 whiie meeting_~ the minimum setback requirements. City Staff's initial inclination was to reduce the radii of the c~-de;sacs to 50 feet, however, this would have been a timely and costly correction to the final plat. iTo achieve the same result at less expense and time, City Staff is recommending that a 10 foot valance to the front yard setback be granted to Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, I1, and 12 in order to provide tnore flexibility as to the style of home that can be constructed on those lots. With respect to l}ark dedication, there is an agreement between the City of Ramsey and Ramsey Center Partners~p dated January 10, 1980 that exempts this particular property from any park dedication in li{u of property donated to the City and County for various purposes. The development agr~ment will require the developer to install a 2 inch diameter tree on every lot. In accordance wiih the conditions placed on the plat at the time of prelimlnary plat approval, Xkimo Street has been p~atted with 70 feet of right-of-way. City Staff is recommending that the 600 foot length of dead edd street maximum be waived in this case in lieu of Xldmo's eventual connection with T.H. #47. i The Developers z~ec, o~ze the need for the connection of Xldmo to T.H. ~47 and the improvements to the intersectioJ) of #5/#47. They have agreed to enter into an agreement with the City wherein Outlots C and E 9f River's Bend 3rd Addition will be responsible for 50% of the City's eventual share of the costs[of improvements to the Xkimo/#S3~47 intersection. A previous agrel~ment with the Developer for the River's Bend 3rd subdivision required the developer to conffibute to the oversizing of Xkimo Street, an MSA street. Under that agreement,
