Hakanson Anderson Assoc.,Inc. En$ineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects December 5, 1989 Mr. Ron Hetlund Parks & Recreation Commission City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 P.U.D. Review for Park Dedication Heatherwood Hills (formerly Alder Glen) Dear Mr. Hetlund: We have reviewed the above referenced P.U.D. for park dedication requirements. As you'll recall, the Parks Commission reviewed a sketch'plan at their November 9 meeting. The developer has since opted to submit as a P.U.D. The developer is proposing a subdivision which would create 46 residential lots on approximately 115 acres. The proposed density of the plat is one dwelling per 2.5 acres thus park dedication ~s 10% of the gross land area (11.5 acres). An additional 10% of land must be made available as public and/or private recreation and open space. A review of the City Trail Plan indicates that trails are planned along County Ditch 66 and 3 through the entire plat and from Ditch 66 and 3 to the north being aligned west of the three land parcels northeast of this plat. ..These trail corridors~are typically 75' in width. The P.U.D. submittal generally reflects the discussion of the Parks Commission on November 9. Along County Ditch #3, approximately 125' either side of centerline will be dedicated as park. This is reduced to approximately 100' as the ditch turns south along Hwy. 47. A 60' wide trail right-of-way is. shown connecting the County Ditch segment to the north property line. Combined, these areas comprise 18.5 acres or 16.1% of the 115 acres in the P.U.D. Additionally, a smaller trail 30' in width is proposed which parallels 163rd Lane and connects to the primary trail. This is approximately .65 acres. 222 Monroe Street Anoka, Minnesota 55303 612/427-5860 Fax 612/427-3401 Eugene J. Hakanson, RE lames M. Winter, LS. Peter IL R~atikka, P.E.
