City of Ramsey PHONE (612) 427-1,10 FAX 1612) 427-5543 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · TDD (612) 427-8591 December 27, 1993 Mr. Richard Bloom 14600 Woodruff Road Wayzata, Mn 55391 Re: Request for revised preliminary plat; case of Rivenwick Dear Mr. Bloom: We have received your submittal for final plat approval of the 2nd phase of Rivenwick. The proposed final plat consists of one sheet printed on November 29, 1993. Accompanying the proposed final plat was a Grading and Drainage Plan prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. dated May 5, t993, with revision dates June 1, 1993 and November 23, 1993. We offer the following comments: General: The proposed final plat for the 2nd phase of Rivenwick varies from the approved preliminary plat for Rivenwick in that the westernmost pan of 137th Avenue would be constructed as a cul-se-sac versus a through street to Riverdale Drive. This is a significant change from the current approved preliminary plat and therefore requires a public hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission and formal approval by the City Council. Number of Lots: The total number of tots approved under the approved preliminary plat was 95; 51 in Phase I and 44 in Phase II. With the proposed revision, an addidonaI lot would be ga/ned in Phase II for a total of 96 residential tots. Lot Sizes: All of the lots exceed the 12,150 square foot area minimum for non-riparian lots in the Critical River Corridor. With the exception of Lots 4, 5, and 6 of Block 2, ail of the lots meet the 80 foot lot width requirement at the street frontage or building setback line. Lots 4, 5, and 6 measure approximately 76.1 feet at the building setback line. Based on the fact that these tots exceed the minimum area requirement by 700+ square feet, it is Staffs recommendation that a variance be granted to the minimum lot width on Lots ,4, 5, and 6. It is reasonable to expect that a building pad can be still be achieved because of the additional lot area. 4 St r eels. The revision to the street layout resulting from the proposed revised preIimina.D, plat consists of desiKning the westernmost part of 137th Avenue with an 'eyebrow' and a 'cul-de-sac' versus the previously approved through street. The proposed cul-de-sac will result in a dead-end street which exceeds the 600 foot standard for such streets by nearly 50%.
