Ramsey, Mn 55303 Re: Sketch Plati Review; Brandseth Dear Blaine: We have received the sketch plan for Brandseth which consists of one sheet drawn by Hakanson Anderson Asso~iates, Inc., dated August 24, 1995. We offer the following comments: 1. .General and Zoning: The subject property is approximately 22.5 acres in size and a majorit~ of it is zoned B-1 Business. However, a small portion of the southeast comer of the plat already zoned for R-1 Urban Residential. The sketch plan indicates a proposal to develop ithe property with 45 single family lots to be serviced by municipal water and sanitary sewer. A rezoning of a portion of the plat to R-1 Urban Residential will be necesar~,~. Ouflot A is intended to retain the B-1 zoning for future de/,elopment. e e Lot Sizeg and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban Residential District is 80 feet, br 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot area is 10,800 square feet. The prelimin[u'y plat will require verification that these standards are met. Access t? Lots: Access to the plat is proposed to be provided from 153rd Avenue N.W. W.ctland. s: There are no protected wetlands nor wetlands which appear on the national wetland linventory located within this parcel. The developer should have any suspected wetland ~'eas investigated and delineated by a qualified wetland delineator. Streets: ~At the request of City Staff, the most southerly east/west road has been platted to L the wes~ boundary of the plat to provide options for public road access to the easterly portion 6f the City's property. The one cul-de-sac proposed does not exceed the 600 foot maximu~ length restriction. The north/south street should be named Germanium St. N.W., th~ cul-de-sac should be 152nd Court N.W., and the most southerly east/west road should b~ named 152nd Avenue N.W. and at the point it changes direction north, it should be changed to 152nd Lane N.W. Drainae.e: A drainage and grading plan will be required as part of the preliminary plat approv~ process. Drainage from this parcel will need to be discharged into Protected WetlandI#729 or #658, which are located approximately 1,000 feet to the south. It wilI be necessary to address the impact this discharge will have on these wetlands. Installation of outlet control on these wetlands should be anticipated as an esential element for the development of this plat.
