City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 {612) 427-1410 I I I I I I I I July 11, 1991 Jeffrey Knutson Glenn Rehbein Excavation, Inc. 7309 Lake Drive Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55102 RE: SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE FACILITY, RAMSEY MINNESOTA Dear Mr. Knutson: I am in receipt of a one-sheet site plan which I have entitled "Site Plan Maintenance Facility" and have dated July 11, 1991. I am also in receipt of a two-sheet set of architectural plans prepared by John F. Wilkeson, P.E., dated June 28, 1991. It is my understanding the proposed facility will serve as a maintenance facility for the North Fork Golf Course. It is also my understanding that this facility will be located in the proximity of the northwest corner of the intersection of 153rd Avenue N.W. with the Burlington Northern Railroad track. I offer the following comments: Zoning andLand Use: The land of the proposed site is zoned P.U.D. and falls within the master planning prepared for North Fork, Inc. The land use immediately south of the proposed facility consists of a mainline track for the Burlington Northern Railroad while the land use surrounding the remainder of the site will be future golf course. Setbacks: No property lines have been indicated on the submittal. Based upon dimension of 130 feet from the back of the curb, the building would have a setback of approximately 110 feet from the west property line of 153rd Avenue N.W. This would appear to be adequate. The submittal shows a setback of 35 feet from the center line of the power line. I am unable to conclude anything regarding the setback distance from the property line. In fact, from observation of aerial photographs and County Half-section Maps, it is quite possible the building is being proposed to be placed on the Burlington Northern's right-of-way. Drainage: No drainage plan has been submitted. From the grading plan submitted for the Northfork 5th Addition, this facility is apparently being placed on a high point. I would recommend that the building and paved areas be graded to divert the majority of the mn-off in an easterly direction. This drainage would ultimately end up within drainage ponds being built for the golf course north of 153rd Avenue N.W. Care should be taken so that a minimum of drainage occurs on to 153rd Avenue N.W. A revised site plan showing drainage should be resubmitted. Site Imvmvements: The site plan shows bituminous paving of an area approximately 60' x 72' which would service n'affic to the office area. In addition, gravel drive and parking is
