The plat consists of approximately 200 acres located east of Autumn Heights and south of County Road #83. The plat was approved to be developed as a Planned Unit Development containing 75 rural residential single family lots. Since final plat approval, the developer has staked the roads in Hunter's Ridge. In doing so, it became evident that a revision to the street alignments approved in the final plat would be necessary to avoid areas with heavy tree growth and drastic changes in topography. In addition, there was a through street connection with Baugh Street planned for in the northwest comer of the plat. The developer has been unsuccessful in acquiring the necessary right-of-way for that through street connection from the property owner. In summary, the proposed revisions are as follows: a) Tiger Su'eet would be realigned 10 feet to the east to avoid heavy tree growth; b) the Wolverine Street cul-de-sac would be realigned very slightly to the west to avoid heavy tree growth; c) 167th Avenue N.W. would be realigned approximately 70 feet to the north to avoid drastic topography changes; d) creation of two short cul-de-sacs, one interior to Block 2 and the other in the area of Lots 7 and 8 of Block 4, that would accommodate walk-out style homes that are best suited to the varying topos in those two areas; e) the connection with Baugh Street will be a northwesterly extension of Andrie Street rather than a westerly extension of 168th. City Code requires that the final plat conform to the approved preliminary plat. Therefore, in order to achieve a revised final plat, Staff is fn'st seeking approval of a revised preliminary plat. If the revision is approved, the developer will be instructed to make the necessary engineering expenditures to draw up a revised plat and related plans. The revised plans will then be brought back to City Council for an amended final plat approval. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) Site location map Approved final plat Proposed revised preliminary plat The above described changes would result in the plat containing 77 lots versus the 75 approved in the final plat. The park dedication for the plat was satisfied with land dedication. Therefore, the two additional lots would not cause a change to the park dedication due. Observations: On October 12, 1989, the City of Ramsey received an application and plat from Irv Can' for Can' Addition Planned Unit Development. On October 12, 1989, the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission accepted land to satisfy the park dedication requirement.
