Hakanson Anderson Assoc.,Inc. Engineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects October 31, 1989 Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman Ramsey Planning & Zoning Commission city of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Sketch Plan Review of Rum River Bluff Dear Mr. Zimmerman: We have reviewed the above referenced sketch plan which is located in the'R-iR Residential urban service area of the City and is zoned R-iR. Following is a list of comments resulting from our review of this sketch plan: The proposed plat is proposed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 19 lots on 60 acres for an overall density of one dwelling unit per 3.18 acres. The minimum lot size would be greater than one acre. The proposed subdivision is within the urban portion of the Rum River Management District and is subject to DNR approval. Certain provisions regarding but not limited to tree clearing, erosion control, structure setbacks from bluff lines apply. Minimum lot size within the unsewered urban overlay district is one acre with 150' lot widths. The proposed subdivision meets these standards. The ordinary high water level and elevation should be shown on the plan as should the floodway~limits. The proposed street layout in effect creates two long cul- de-sacs of approximately 1800' and 1700', both in excess of the city's 600' cul-de-sac standard. The street alignment should be reconfigured to provide a connection with Oneida Street and Juniper Ridge Drive. ZZZ Monroe Street Anoka, Minnesota 55303 612/427-5860 Fax 612/42'7-3401 Eugene ].
