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 I I May 2, 1991 Dennis Peck North Fork, Inc. 824 Woodgate Drive Vadnais Heights, MN 55127 RE: Preliminary Plat Review for Northfork Point Addition Dear Mr. Peck: 1 am in receipt of the following submittals supporting your request for preliminary plat approval of the Northfork Point Addition; (a) preliminary plat Northfork Point Addition dated April 30, 1991; (b) plan sheet dated February 1990 entitled Northfork Preliminary Plan; (c) preliminary street construction Northfork Point Addition dated April 26, 1991 prepared by Probe Engineering, Inc.; (d) Preliminary Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan Northfork Point Addition dated April 26, 1991 prepared by Probe Engineering, Inc.; (e) your supporting letter addressed to Ms. Sylvia Frolik dated April 29, 1991. I have reviewed the above submittals and offer the following comments: 1) General: The proposed plat contains 20 residential lots and Outlot A, a wetland, and comprised of approximately 60 acres. The land is within the Northfork P.U.D. The road and street layout of the prelim/nary plat Northfork Point Addition conforms substantially to that approved in the most recent Northfork preliminary, plan referenced above. The proposed prelim/nary plat however, contains 5 more lots than were identified in the above referenced Northfork concept plan. 2) Lot Sizes: It is my understanding that lots within the subdivision need to be a minimum of one acre in size and have minimum street frontage of 160 feet, except for cul-de-sac lots. According to the above referenced prelirrdnary plat submittal, there will be no lots less than one acre in size within this subdivision. In addition, all non-cul-de-sacced lots will have a minimum of 160 feet of street frontage. Also. the City's shoreland zoning ordinance requires all lots lying within 1000feet of the shoreline of Lake Itasca to have a minimum of 80,000 square feet of area. Lots 6 through 11 of Block I are subject to this ordinance. It should be noted that Lot 6 has been identified on the preliminary plat as having less than the 80,000 square feet. This should be modified. Soils: City Code requires a minimum of 25% of a lot in unsewered areas to be comprised of Class I soils. Since minimum lot sizes in this area are 2.5 acres, a minimum of 27,225 square feet of Class I soils should be required on each lot. The soils in the proposed plat include Nymore sandy loam, Isan sandy loam and marsh. The Nymore soil group is classified as a Class I soil except on slopes geater than 18%. The Isan and marsh soil classifications are unacceptable for on-site soil absorption systems. In reviewing the soil map in conjunction with the topography provided with the preliminary plat. it is my recommendation that soil borings be taken at various locations to confirm presence
