City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (612) 427-859I November 29, 1995 Mr. Rick Murray Residential Development. h~c. 15 Choctaw Circle · Chanhassen, Mn 55317 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Fox Knoll 2nd Addition Dear Rick We have received the sketch plan for Fox Knoll 2nd Addition which consists of one sheet prepared by John Oliver & Associates, Inc., and dated November 14, 1995. We offer the following comments: General; The subject property is zoned R-I Urban Residential and consists of approximately 25 acres proposed to be subdivided into 42 single family lots and one commercial lot. The area designated for commercial development conflicts with the current zoning and the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff feels strongly that this area should remain as planned, single family residential, and staff will not recommend proceeding to preliminary plat with this plan. The conversion of this commercial lot to single family use may have a substantial impact on the street plan. Access to Lots: Thc plat is proposed to receive one access from 153rd Avenue N.W. and one from Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. (C.S.A.H. #57). The sketch plan has been forwarded to the Anoka County Highway Department for comment. Al1 of the lots would receive access from interior streets. The cul-de-sac proposed does not exceed the 600 foot maximum length restriction. Transportation Impacts: On November 20, 1995, the Ramey City Council approved the implementation of a Transportation Impact Fee. At this time~ the fee is proposed at $500.00 per lot. The exact implementation details have not been finalized but Fox Knoll 2nd Addition is potentially impacted by this new fee. e Lot Sizes and Dimensions: All of the residential lots platted meet the 80 foot minimum lot width requirement (90 feet on comer lots). Future revisions or preliminary plat drawings will have to verify that all of the lots meet the 10,800 square foot minimum lot size. S_ewer. and Water 8.~rvices: The parcel will be served by city water and sanitary sewer. The fee title owner of the subject prol:~rty must submit a petition requesting the extension of the services. .D. ralnage and Ufili .ty Easements: A Grading and Drainage Plan will be required at the time of preliminary plat. Drainage should be directed toward the east into Wetland #114, Provisions will need to be made for sedimentation prior to discharge into the wetland. A low depression located in the southeastern portion of the plat may also provide an opportunity for drainage, however, there is no outlet from this wetland and an analysis of the impact on this Iow area will need to be addressed if it is to be utilized for drainage.
