DATE PROJECT. TITLE ESCROW # DEPARTMENT: CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE 12/5/13 PROJECT ADDRESS BROOKFIELD 4TH ADDITION- FINAL PLAT OF 32 LOTS Planning Name: Tina Goodroad TECHNICAL REVIEWER: Phone: 651-967-4537 Email: tina.2oodroadna,stantec.com We offer the following comments regarding your request for a Final Plat for Brookfield 4t' Addition: General: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of Brookfield 4t' Addition. This plat is a continuation of the Brookfield Addition west of Nowthen Boulevard and generally north of 167t' Avenue and will encompass a majority of the remaining lots from the original Preliminary Plat. The current Preliminary Plat includes seventy-seven (77) lots. It is hereby noted that the previous Preliminary Plat has expired. It is further noted that the City had previously approved a Plat entitled BROOKFIELD 4TH ADDITION. However, the Plat was never recorded and has since expired. The original Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council on September 13, 2005. In 2009, the City Council approved an Amended and Restated Development Agreement related to the first three phases of BROOKFIELD as well as an Amendment to Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Cost Contribution/Reimbursement Agreement. To service the BROOKFIELD as well as the SWEETBAY RIDGE developments, the original developer agreed to extend certain trunk lines (sanitary sewer and water) to these subdivisions at the cost of the developer. As the benefit of these trunk lines extends beyond these two (2) subdivisions, the City entered into the Reimbursement Agreement as a way for the developer to recapture a portion of the $6,000,000 investment in trunk line construction. These credits are factored into the Development Fee calculations attached hereto. Land Use and Zoning: The site is guided Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Comprehensive Plan and is located within the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District. The minimum lot size in the R-1, MUSA zone is 10,800 sq. ft. Each of the proposed lots meets the minimum lot size. Applicant shall provide total acreage of the proposed preliminary plat and portion within the proposed final plat. Net Density Calculations. The Applicant shall provide gross acreage, as well as net acreage. Net acreage is calculated by subtracting wetlands and rights of way from the gross acreage. The Applicant must also provide Net Density Calculations described as number of units per net acre.
