The property is located in the northeast comer of the intersection of Industry Avenue md Ramsey Blvd. The plat consists of about 85 acres proposed to be subdivided into approximate] y 160 single family lots. There are two parcels in the northeast comer of the intersection of County Roads #I16 and #56 that are not included in the plat. The property owner is interested in selliz!g the property for development and some effort should be put into planning for the inclusion of ff ~is property in Good Value's development. The plat will be served by municipal water and sanitary: sewer. The following items axe enclosed for your information: a) Siu~ location map b) Pro posed sketch plan c) Lei :er dated November 20, 1995 from Anoka County Highway Department c) Cit Staff review letter dated November 29, 1995 Notification: City Code does nqt require notification of sketch plans; the neighboring property owners will be notified of the public hearing when the developer applies for preliminary plat approval. Observations: The subject prope~y is zoned Industrial and a rezoning will be required to develop the property with single family !lots. The Comprehensive Plan amendment currently being worked on targets this area for mixed ~'esidenfial use. Ail of the lots wi!l have to meet the 10,800 square foot minimum area requ/rement and the dimensional require, ments( 80 foot lot width, 90 feet on comers)· In addition, the lots bordering Wetland #2-118 ~ have to meet the 15,000 square foot area requirement, be at least 75 feet wide at the water frontage, and be able to meet a structure setback of 50 feet from ordinary high water. In accordance with~ the recommendations of the Anoka County Highway Department, the plat is proposed to receiv6, one access from Industry Avenue and one access from Ramsey Blvd. All of the lots will receive, access from interior streets. The cul-de-sacs appear to be within the 600 foot maximum length restriction. It is not quite clear how the lots on the north side of the wetland will receive public accef~. A Grading and Drainage Plan and a Tree Preservation and Planting Plan will be required at the time of preliminary pla? approval.. The Tree Plan should identify trees to be preserved during construction and the~planfing of one 2-inch diameter tree in the front yard of each of the lots. Park dedication will~be considered by the Park Commission on December 14. 'It is anticipated that it will consist of a combination of cash and trail development. The developer will most likely also be required to conunue the pedestrian paths along Ramsey Blvd. and Industry Avenue.
