FROM : DF PECK CONSULTING PHONE NO. : 484 7421 Ms. Sylvia Frolik Zoning Administrator City of Ramsey 15155 Nowthen Blvd. Ramsey, Mn. 55303 May 26, 1995 Grading and Mining Permits DearilMs. Prolik: Maw. 26 1995 01:49PM P2 In regards to North Fork's Applications for certain Grading and Mining Permits please be advised as follows: ~i The Application to regrade portions of Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 in Block 3, Northfork Links Addition is for the purpose of creating walkout building sites for these lots. The lots were platted in 1991 and three have remained Onsold and none have been built upon. North Fork's builders and salespeople believe that raising the grade~ willihelp assure that upscale homes will eventually be built on these lots. ~i Present grades on these lots range, generally from 880' to 882' The grading propbsed is to to create front elevations of 887' on the building pads with a six footi!4rop to the walkout grade to the rear. These lots are all approximately 200' wide!land the created building pads would not be much more than 80' in width with slopes of perhaps 8' to 1' extending towards the property lines. An 879.8' elevation would be maintained along tbs lot line between Lots 7 and 8 to guaranty drainage to aieatch basin located along Andrie Street. No rear elevation would, be less than 88I'~ No materail will be imported to or'e×ported from'the ~ite.~ 'All driuew~.grad~$ willilbe less than 8%. ' The Application to'regrade portions of Lots 3 and 4, Block 2, Northfork Lake Addition is again for the purpose of creating more attractive building sites. In order to preserve the trees located on Lot 2, Block 2, the home built on that lot was ~oved towards the east property line. This, plus the size of the homes expected to be built on Lots 3 and 4 cramp the home sites and the sight lines. Moving the walkout grades closer to Inverness Lane would give owners of,Lots ~ through 5 greater privacy and shorten somewhat the required length of driveways for Lots 3 and 4. Septic systems would be losated further from the lake. The grading plan would require the removal of approximately 16,000 ~ubic y~rds of material. Such material Would be removed by belly-dumps west along. I~verness and through the golf course. To minimize the impact on exisbing homes such export could be done in one or two moves.
