PHONE NO. ~ S'[ATE OF DEPARTMENT OF 296-7523 NATURAL METRO REGION WATERS 1200 Warner Rd., St. Paul, MN. 55106 February 10, 1989 RESOURCES FILE NO. RECEIVE FEB 1 3 198 Mr. Mark Banwart Community Development Director City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW Ramsey, MN. 55303 Dear Mr. Banwart: RE: PLAT REVIEW: WILDWOOD ACRES & NORTH FORTY, 2ND ADDITION I have reviewed the above-referenced plats which you submitted on February 3, 1989 and offer the following comments: WILDWOOD ACRES Protected Wetland ~2-727W exists in the northwest portion of the property. The estimated OHW of the wetland is 877-878. As such home construction on Lots 4, 5 & 6 of Block 1 may infringe on the wetland~ filling below the Oh~W is prohibited by DNR permit rules. It would be advisable to shift .Okapi Street further east, if at all possible. The plat should identify the DNR wetland I.D. number (#2-727W) and a statement that DNR permits may be required for any alterations of the wetland. .There may be other wetland areas outside the protected wetland which could fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Contact Tim Fell at 220-0360 for further information. The City's Flood Insurance kate Maps identify an area of 100-year (approximate study) flood plain on the property. Any filling of that area would require issuance of a conditional use permit under the City's floodplain controls. NORTH FORTY, 2~D ADDITION Protected Wetland ~2-736W exists in the northeast portion of the property. The estimated OHW of the wetland is 896-897. The development of Lots 6,7,8,9, & 10 of Block 2 and the Iguana Street cul-de-sac (between Lots 10 & !1, Block 2) may infringe on the wetland. Again, filling is prohibited by Dh-R permit rules. On-site inspection and staking of wetland boundaries may be necessary at this property. AN EOUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 19
