ROBERT EDWARDS DO R N & E:DWAR D-~, LTD. ATTO~ N £Y~, AT TELEPHONE I~1~) ~2~-B~03 CORPORATION August 5, 1992 Ms. Sylvia Frolik City of Ramsey 15153 Now~hen Blvd. NW Ramsey, ~N 55303 Re: Rum River Hills Dear Sylvia: Pursuant to our telephone conversation of this week, I would like to provide you with the following background information. An initial plat for a portion of this property was first proposed in 1982, at a time when the City had a 2-1/2 acre lot density. In addition, the north 30 acres were assessed for a paving project based on that 2-1/2 acre density. At the time of the proposal of the Planned Unit Development which ultimately became Rum Rive~ Hills, the City was attempting to enforce a 10 acre minimum lot size for the unsewered area, but acknowledged that there were some "grandfather rights" for this particular project. Twenty-three single family one acre residential lots were approved and a 3.75 acre outlot for ~uture high density residential was approved. The original proposal anticipated that there would be two 3-acre outlo%s for future high density residential, and the narrative plan which was submitted indicated a probable density of 5 to 10 units per acre for those two outlots. This would have meant 30 to 60 dwelling units ~or ~uture high density development, to be implemented at a time when sewer and water service became available. In the actual design phase of the golf course, however, the golf course needs were such that creating two separate outlots for future high density residential was not~ feasible, and a single 3.75 acre outlot was created. This is Outlot C in the plat. Twenty-three single family lots were also created and this was how the plat was recorded. I do not know if the narrative ?
