Hakanson Anderson Assoc., Inc. Engineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects November 2, 1989 Mr. Ron Hetlund Parks & Recreation Commission City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Sketch Plan Review of Cart Addition for Park Dedication Requirements Dear Mr. Hetlund: We have reviewed the proposed sketch plan of the Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) for park dedication requirements. The proposed sketch plan indicates that the total gross land area is 245.8 acres. It is comprised of 72 rural residential lots with an average density of 1 lot per 3.4 acres. A minimum dedication of 7% is required at this density for public park needs. The Parks Commission reviewed an earlier sketch plan of this subdivision at their October meeting. The subdivider has since revised the plan and is proceeding under a PUD concept. The Parks Commission approved the earlier sketch plan in concept based on providing a trail link through the subdivision which would connect North Fork and Autumn Heights neighborhoods. PUD requirements are that a minimum of 20% of land be dedicated as park and open space for private or public use. As shown, the park dedication for public use is approximately 20.3 acres (8.3%). An additional 83.8 acres are shown as outlots. A portion of these will have to be dedicated as either public or private open space to meet the minimum 20% open space requirements of the PUD. Additionally, the developer has provided a short segment of internal trailway such that access would be gained from the subdivision to the corridor trail. The subdivider is responsible for improvements to assure that the trail land is developable for trails. ZZ2 Monroe Street Anoka, Minnesota 55303 612/427-5860 Fax 612/427-3401 Eugene J.
