Sketch Plan Review: Rivenwick Village October 31, 2003 Page 4 of 5 · A table needs to be provided specifying the house type, garage elevation, minimum floor elevation, and street grade. Noise Mitigation: When the City reviewed Rivenwick 3rd Addition, the townhouse development located immediately south of the subject property, MnDot stated that the City should look at how the noise generated from U.S. Highway #10 may affect the development. Staff anticipates that since this development is located immediately adjacent to U.S. Highway #10, MnDot will make a similar comment. Staff will solicit the services of SKF to evaluate the potential traffic noise impacts on the proposed development. Easements/Utilities: This subdivision will be served by sanitary sewer and city water, which will be extended from Pdverdale Drive. The entire plat will be served by gravity sanitary sewer, however it should be noted there must be a minimum of seven and one half feet of cover over the top of the sewer. Easements must be dedicated over all public sewer, water, and storm sewer pipes. 10. Density Transitioning. The subject property is located adjacent to an existing townhouse development, Rivenwick 3rd Addition, which is zoned R-2. City Code does not require density transitioning when a property is zoned R-2 and abuts a property that will be developed at a R-3 density (7-15 units per acre). It should be noted that the subject property is boarded to the south and east by Riverdale Drive, a MSA street with an 80 foot right of way, and U.S. Highway #10 to the north. 11. Tree Preservation. At the time of preliminary plat review, a tree preservation plan should be submitted that identifies tree types and size, identify tree removal limits, and the location of the tree save fences. The subject property does not contain large areas of tree cover. 12. Sidewalks. In accordance with City Code, sidewalks are required on at least one side of all non cul-de-sac public streets. 13. Trail Development: The sketch plan will be forwarded to the Park Commission for a recommendation on trails. 14. Park Dedication: The sketch plan will be forwarded to' the Park Commission for a recommendation on park dedication. The City has the option for cash, land, or a combination of the two. The Planning Commission will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 6, 2003 at the Ramsey Fire Station No. 2, 15050 Armstrong Blvd. NW, to review your sketch plan. A copy of the case cover sheet is enclosed. If you have any questions or need additional information, please don't hesitate to call us. -11-
