CASE ADOPT RESOLUTION ORDERING RIGHT-OF-WAY PLANS FOR SUNFISH LAKE DRIVE BETWEEN SUNFISH LAKE BLVD. N.W. AND NOWTHEN BLVD. By: Pete Raatikka, city Engineer and Mark S. Banwart, Community Development Director Background/Observations: As you may recall, on April 25, 1989, the Ramsey city Council adopted the following Findings-of-Fact, Environmental Assessment Worksheet and Resolutions regarding Cedar Hills, Chestnut Hills and Windemere Woods Additions. Name of Subdivision Findinq of Fact City Resolution Chestnut Hills Addition Cedar Hills Addition Windemere Woods Addition 0251 89-04-84 0252 89-04-85 0250 89-04-83 On May 11, 1989, the City of Ramsey received a letter from the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) acknowledging receipt of a negative declaration and indicating that no EIS would be prepared for the three subdivisions. The significant results of the EAW identified three issues. These were: 1) wetlands; 2) traffic; 3) sewer service. The issue of wetlands has been addressed by a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit for wetland mitigation, while the sewer service issue was resolved with the expansion of the MUSA boundary on July 13, 1989. Your remaining issue identified was that of traffic. Specifically the developers need to confirm that they have road access from the southwest portion of Cedar Hills Addition to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. and/or Industry Avenue N.W. and also gain access to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. via Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. (a private road). On February 6, 1990, the City of Ramsey received a letter from Good Value Homes, Inc. and Aradco, Inc. (dated February 5, 1990). The letter states that concurrence with the two additional access point issues and states that they intend on acquiring the southwest access. The letter also is a formal petition to the City of Ramsey to acquire the appropriate right-of-way for construction of an east/west street from sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. to the northwest corner of Chestnut Hills Addition. sunfish Lake Drive/147th Street N.W. is a Municipal State Aid street which is eligible for MSA funding. However, in order to receive funding, a right-of-way plan must be prepared and approved by Mn/DOT prior to the expenditure of MSA funds.
