Sketch Plan Review: Ramsey Town Center 2~a Addition November 26, 2003 Page 3 of 5 Min. width with no parking Min. width with parking permitted on one side 24 feet 28 feet Min. width with no parking 32 feet restrictions Max. length without 200 feet turnaround 300 feet Max. length with a turning provision provided Max. length with cul-de'sac 600 feet The 22-fbot wide private streets shown in the sketch plan do not meet the City's width standard and will need to be revised to be 24 feet. In addition, Staffhas concerns with the provision of so many private streets. The City requires that at least one public street go through the development with a 60-foot fight-of-way and a 32-foot wide road. In reviewing the sketch plan, it appears that the 32-wide private street located in the center of the development should be changed to a public street. There is also concern that with all of the private streets being connected and providing a "loop" thru the development, there may need to be a need to have additional public streets instead of the private streets shown. Please contact Brian Olson, Assistant Public Works Director at (763),433-9825 to discuss these matters further. Open Space: The proposed sketch plan shows an area that could be considered as "open space". As part of the preliminary plat submittal, please provide information on bow this area would look and the size of the open space. Comments raised in Item #3 of this letter may lead to the open space being relocated. Access and Streets: The development will be served from Peridot St. NW and from East Rarnsey Parkway. Please refer to Item #5 of this letter regarding the use of private streets within the development.
