Drainage and Gr0ding Plan: There is a considerable amount of runoff anticipated to come off this development. The grading plan submitted would cause all runoff from the site to drain onto Iodine Street N.W. and then eastward. There are periodic drainage problems downstream of this area at the present time. We recommend that all runoff be captured and conveyed to a sedimentation/skimming basin before being discharged to the adjacent pond on the golf course, An easement should be obtained for this discharge. An erosion control plan should also be developed which will protect the pond and adjacent properties from erosion and sedimentation during construction. On-Site Septic System~; The soils are such that mounded septic systems may likely be required. We would request that the developer have soil tests performed, identify wastewater flows, and have a septic system design proposed by a septic system designer certified by the State of Minnesota. This design should also address the need for a backup septic treatment area for use after the life of the initial system expires. Depending upon the results of that septic system design report, it may be necessary to reduce the number of units proposed. It is anticipated that the development agreement will require the developer to provide for annual inspections of the septic systems by a prviate evaluator and that copies of the septic reports be filed at the City. Pgrk Dedication, The plat will be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission at their regular meeting in November. It is anticipated that park dedication will consist of construction of an 8 foot wide bituminous trail along St. Francis Blvd. Any remaining park dedication due would be satisfied with a cash payment. Lan0~cape,. Plan: The developer shall be required to submit a Landscape Plan indicating the establishment of trees and turf. This Landscape Plan should be quite significant along the east side of the site to separate the development from the single family houses. The Landscape Plan should identify the location, species, size and number of plantings. The Planning Commission will be conducting a public hearing and considering your request for preliminary plat approval at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 1, 1994 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. You, or your representative, should be present at the meeting to answer any questions that may arise. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Respectfully, CITY OF RAMSEY Sylvia Frolik Zoning Administrator ,/:....~, ,,,~i / Steven Jafikowski City Engineer cc: Tom Anderson
