Review Letter Good Value Homes/Tiller Property November 29, 1995 Page 2 of 3 10. 11. 12. Transportation Impacts: On November 20, 1995, the Ramsey City Council approved the establishment 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 the subject property is potentially impacted by this new fee. S~ets: None of the three cul-de-sacs proposed exceed the 600 foot length maximum. It is not quite clear how public access will be provided to the lots on the north side of the wetland. 3Vetlands: DNR Wetland #2-118 is located on the property. The ordinary high water level (OHW) needs to be established by DNR. All land at or below the OHW is under DNR jurisdiction and permits would be required for any alterations to the basin. No filling would be allowed for the creation of upland without a wetland mitigation plan approved by DNR. DNR has been provided with a copy of the sketch plan. There may be additional wetlands on the site which are subject to other regulatory agency review. City staff recommends having all wetlands on the property delineated by a qualified wetland biologist. All wetlands should be designated as drainage easements on the preliminary plat. Drainage: The submittal of a Grading and Drainage Plan is required at the time of Preliminary Plat approval. Any exporting of soils from the site will require a conditional use permit. The storm drainage plan should anticipate draining the entire development to the wetland system which consists of portions of Protected Wetlands 668, 118 and t 17. Sedimentation should be provided for all paved runoff areas prior to discharge. In addition, the system should anticipate connecting the separate wetlands such that a north to south drainage flow can be accommodated. Tree Preservation. a.ncl.Planting Plan; At the time ofprelimin~ plat approval, the submittal must include an addendum to the Grading Plan that identifies existing trees, trees to be preservied during construction, along with the method of preservation, and the planting of one 2 inch diameter tree in the front yard of each lot. UJ:ilities: It is staffs understanding that the site improvements will be installed as a private project with no financial participation on the part of the City. It will be necessary for the fee title owner of the property to petition the City for the extension of the trunk lines. Sewer and water mink lines will need to be extended to the site from the AEC Energy Park development to the south. Park Dedication; The Park Commissin will be reviewing the sketch plan at 6:00 p.m. on December 14, 1995. It is anticipated that park dedication will consist of a combination of cash and trail development. Pedestrian Transportation Routes: The developer will most likely be required to continue the pedestrian paths along Industry Avenue and Ramsey Blvd. These routes are not park dedication credit eligible.
