City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TTD (612) 427-8591 March 1, 1995 Mr. Rick Murray Residential Development, Inc. 15 Choctaw Circle Chanhassen, Mn 55317 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Fox Knoll Dear Rick: We have received the revised sketch plan for Fox Knoll which consists of one sheet dated February 15, 1995. We offer the following comments: o General;. As a result of Metro Council's recent approval of Ramsey's request for a Metropolitan Urban Service Area 0VILISA) expansion, the subject property is now in the MUSA and zoned R-1 Urban Residential. The plat consists of approximately 20 acres to be subdivided into 18 lots. Access to Lots: It will be necessary to extend 151st Lane N.W. into the plat as a cul-de-sac to provide public access to the lots. The length of 15tst 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 knows from past experience that DNR will not approve bridging the wetland to create a through street to Sunfish Lake Blvd. The cul-de-sac extending north of 151st will not exceed the 600 foot maximum length. Lot Sizes and Dimen$i0n~: All of the lots appear to be sketched so that they Will meet the 80 foot width req.uirement (90 feet on comer lots) and the 10,800 square foot area requirement. Sewer and Water Services.: The parcel will be served by city water and sanitary sewer. Watermain is anticipated to be extended to the site along the north property line of the elementary school as early as June, 1995. Sanitary sewer will be extended to the western boundary of the site by the extension of the sanitary sewer interceptor. This interceptor may be available to the site by August, 1995. Drainage .and.Utility Easements; A Grading and Drainage Plan will be required at the time of preliminary plat. Drainage should be directed toward the west and north. A sedimentation pond will be required prior to discharge into the wetland. The standard 10 foot drainage and utility easements (5 foot on common property lines) will be required around the perimeter of each of the lots. In addition, all wetland areas should be designated as drainage and utility easements.
