City of Ramsey PHONE (612)427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · TDD (612) 427-8591 December 28, I993 John Peterson Good Value Homes 9445 East River Road N.W. Coon Rapids, MN 55433 Re: Revised Preliminary Plat Review; Chestnut Ridge Dear Mr. Peterson: We have received the revised preliminary plat and grading plan for Chestnut Ridge which consists of Sheets I and 2 of 2 drawn by Passe Engineering, Inc. dated December 14, 1993. We offer the following comments: 1. Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and is permissible for development with single family residential lots. General: The site area is approximately 35.1 acres in size. The sketch plan reviewed earlier this year oricnally proposed to develop the site with 58 single family homes. A major element of concern at the time of sketch plan review was the alignment of Sunwood Drive as a collector street and development of private streets to access several of the lots. Proceeding to preliminary plat approval was contingent upon resolution of Sunwood Drive. The preliminary plat submitted for approval has been scaled back to eliminate the need to resolve Sunwood Drive, proposes to plat 13 single family lots, and reserves the remaining property as Out. lot A for future development. The ~'evised preliminary plat also replaces the development of a private dead-end street at the end of Krypton Street N.W. with a through street. Utilities: Development of the property will require the extension of streets, sewer and water. The developer is proposing to accomplish these improvements as a private project without financial participation on the pan of the City. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: All Of the lots are adjacent to Wetland 1 i4-P (Ramsey Terrace Pond) and Lots 1 through 7 of Block 2 are subject to the shoreland zoning requirements for which the minimum lot size is 15,000 square feet above ordinary high water and the minimum lot width at the water frontage is 75 feet The structures on these lots will also have to be able to meet a 50 foot setback from the ordinary high water mark. By the information provided on the preliminary plat, it appears that all area and dimension requirements have been met. Access to Lots: Access to the tots will be provided by an extension of Krypton Street N.W. from Wood Pond Hills into Chestnut Ridge. Preliminary plats previously submitted for approval proposed to end Krypton Street as a cul-de-sac in the plat. As a result of discussions with DNR, it has been determined that it is feasible to extend Krypton Street N.W. as a through street by bridging County Ditch 43 in the vicinity of Lot 6, Block 1 and Lot 7, Block 2.
