City of Ramsey FAX (612) 427-5543 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 ° TDD (612) 427-8591 April 28, 1994 Mr. Ben Deemer 14501 Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, Mn 55303 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Sunview First Addition Dear Mr. Deemen We are in receipt of your sketch for the proposed plat of Sunview First Addition consisting of one sheet drawn by Mathew Kytonen, dated received by the City on April 8, 1994. We offer the following comments: Oe. nerah The proposed plat is a minor subdivision that proposes to plat the existing homestead and two urban residential lots. Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential. However, the subject property is part of the City's current MUSA expansion request for which the City anticipates Metro Council approval this summer. When the property is officially brought into the MUSA, it will be sub.jecr to R-1 Urban Residential zoning regulations. Lot Sizes: Under the current rural zoning, the density is restricted to 4 units in 40 acres and the minimum lot size'i's 10 acres. However, the subject property is included in the MUSA expansion area anticipated to be approved by Metro Council in the very near future. Once the MUSA expansion is approved, the property will be subject to R-1 Urban Residential zoning regulations for which the minimum lot size is 10,800 square feet. The existing homestead lot and both of the urban lots proposed meet the minimum area requirement for Urban Resident/al. o Lot Dimensions: Anticipating R-1 Urban Residential designation in the near future, Lot 1 will meet the 90 foot width requirement for a corner lot and Lots 2 and Lot 3 will meet the 80 foot width requirement. Streets. Currently there are no public streets in place to provide access to Lots 1 and 2. The alignment shown for Sunwood Drive (the 66 foot exception indicated on the sketch) is not consistent with the selected alignment. The selected alignment of Sunwood Drive and an existing wetland also negates the possibility of extending 145th Lane N.W. and the proposed north/south s~zeet as shown on the sketch plan. The developer of the adjacent land to the east, Good Value Homes, has submitted a sketch for a revised prelirninary plat for the 5th Addition of Chestnut Hill which also conflicts with the sketch plan for Sunview. This revision will be reviewed at the June, 1994 Planning Commission meeting. Additionally, staff believes that a development plan which takes into account the entire parcel should be considered.
