City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 * (612) 427-1410 I I I ! I I I I I ! I I I I ! I February 28, 1991 B. B. Chapman 365 East Kellogg Boulevard St. Paul, MN 55101 RE: Preliminary Plat Review of Faye Addition Dear Mr. Chapman: I am in receipt of your submittal package dated January 14, 1991 which includes a preliminary plat dated January 11, 1991, a sanitary sewer and water utility plan dated December 10, 1990, a preliminary grading and drainage plan dated December 10, 1990, a six sheet set of plan profiles illustrating the preliminary sanitary sewer layout, all for the aforemention, ed subdivision. I have reviewed these documents and offer the following comments: 1) A portion of the subdivision falls outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA)~ However, the subdivision plat is designed to conform with urban sewer and water standards. Therefore, recording of the final plat must be made contingent upon successfully amending the MUSA boundaries. Although existing zones will remain the same as those proposed, existing zoning lines must be modified to conform with the proposed land subdivision. Proper rezoning will be required before final plat approval can be even. 3) A plan for the protection of vegetation consistent with the Mississippi River Critical Area Interim regulations must be submitted. 4) The developer is asking for acceptance of this preliminary plat under a phased approach. A schedule for this phasing should be developed which is mutually acceptable to both the developer and the City. 5) The grading plan indicates that all portions of the subdivision, with the exception of Outlot E will be wholly outside of the re~onal floodplain elevation of 849.0. 6) The ~ading plan should be modified to include the proposed building pad elevation for all residential lots. '7) The general drainage plan submitted appears to be adequate. However, engineering drawings detailing pipe sizes, grades and appurtenance details will need to be submitted. In addition, the drainage plan will need to be reviewed by .the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization. An application for that review can be obtained from the City Zoning Administrator. 8) Park land dedication requirements should be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission. Special consideration should be made in addressing the concept of utilizing a substantial portion of the dedicated park as a drainage easement. 9) Urban cul-de-sac radii may be reduced to 60 feet.
