City of Ramsey FAX (612) 427-5543 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · TDD (612) 427-8591 April 28, 1994 Mr. Keith Borgeson 17014 St. Francis Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, Mn 55303 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Haven Estates Dear Mr. Borgeson: We are in receipt of your sketch for the proposed plat of Haven Estates, a minor subdivision, consisting of one sheet drawn by Lot Surveys Company, Inc., dated received by the City on April 13, 1994. We offer the following comments: General: The proposed plat is a minor subdivision that proposes to replat Lot 1, Block 9, Fox Ridge Estates and Lots 3 and 4, Block 5, Klemish Addition for the purpose of enhancing the buildability of Lots 3 and 4 in Klemish Addition. ~ The property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and the density is restricted to 4 units in 40 acres. However, it has been our past policy to allow replats in the rural district that will not increase the density level beyond its current !evel. Lot Sizes: Under the current rural zoning, the density is resn'-icted to 4 units in 40 acres and the minimum lot size is 2.5 acres. However, as mentioned eartier, this is a replat and although one of the lots is proposed at 2.1 acres, both of the lots formerly in Klemish Addition will gain area which is more in line with the 4 in 40 theou,. Lot Dimensions: Lot 1 meets the minimum frontage requirement both at Potassium Court and St. Francis Blvd. N.W. (The intent for the access at Potassium Court is to provide public access to the parcel if and when the access onto St. Francis Blvd. is eliminated). Lots 2 and 3 are proposed at a street frontage of 153 feet each which does not meet the 200 foot frontage minimum. However. as currently configured, Lot 2 is non- conforming with a frontage of 106 feet. By dividing the total amount of frontage available between Lots 2 and 3 (306 feet), the non-conform/ty of Lot 2 is reduced. Wetlands: Lots 2 and 3 (former Klemish Addition tots) are covered by wetlands and the purpose of this replat is to provide these two lots with enough high pound from the north to accommodate building pads and support on site septic systems. We are also in receipt of a wetland delineation report prepared by Wayne E. Jacobson dated April 11, 1994. The report indicates that southern portions of the subject site are Type I wetlands which the author concludes were formed by the consnmction of 168th Lane N.W. The Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act allows an exemption for providing a replacement plan for such wetlands which might require filling. The developer should avoid disturbing those areas designated as wetland, however, if filling is necessary, an exemption will need to be certified by the Lower Rum Pdver Water Management Organization (LRRWMO).
