City of Ramsey PHONE (6,2)427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 15~53 NOW'THEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 5530~ · TDD (612) 427-8591 February 1, 1994 Jack MenkVeld North Suburban Development 8741 Central Avenue N.E. Blaine, MN 55434 Re: Preliminary Plat Review; Sunfish Square Dear Jack: We have received the revised preliminary plat for Sunfish Square which consists of one sheet drawn by Caine & Associates Land Surveyors, Inc., dated September t4, 1993 and revised November 5, 1993. We have also received the revised grading and drainage plan consisting of one sheet prepared by Kenneth J. Gust dated September 17, 1993 and and revised December 9, 1993. We offer the following comments: . 1. Zoning: The subjeci property is zoned Industrial. To develop the property with a combination of single family, multi-family and business will require a rezoning. Upon approval of the preliminary plat, an application for rezoning should be initiated to rezone the property accordingly. 2. General: The proposed plat consists of approximately 40 acres to be developed with municipal water and sar~itary sewer and subdivided into approximately 69 single family lots. Approximately 8.7 acres would be reserved for future development with multi-family units and 1.2 acres for commercial businesses. It is intended that the existing asphalt company located on the property would be relocated. 3. Lot Si~s and Dim¢n~i0ns: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban Residential District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot area is 10,800 square feel Cul-de- sac lots must be 80 foot wide at the structure setback line; All of the single family residential lots meet these requirements. Additionally, it should be noted that the lots adjacent to Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and County Road gl 16 appear to be large enough to provide for a'stmcture setback of i 10 feet from the thoroughfare centerline or 50 feet from the property li.ne, whichever is greater. AcCess to P_l.at and Streets: At the time of sketch plan review, only one access to County Road :gl 16 (Industry Avenue) was shown. In accordance with the recommendation of City Staff and the Planning and Zoning .Commi.ssion, the plat has been redesigned to also provide an outtet to County Road #57 (Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W.). This access onto Sunfish Lake Blvd. is very desirable as it would distribute traffic from this and adjacent subdivisions more evenly and provide access to both County Road #I 16 and County Road #57.
