City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.~'., RAMSEY. MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 October 30, 1991 Dickman Knutson BLH Developmem Company 3030 Harbor Lane, Suite 100 Plymouth, MN 55447 Re: Preliminary Plat Review of Wood Pond Hills Dick: We are in receipt of your preliminary plat for Wood Pond Hills which consists of four (4) sheets (preliminary plat, boundary survey, grading and drainage plan, and utility plan) drawn bv McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. and dated August 16, 1991. We offer the following comments: General' The property is approximately 72 acres in size, is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and is proposed to be subdivided into 135 lots. The plat is proposed to be developed in 4 phases. Lot Size: The minimum lot size in the R-1 Urban Residential Disu'ict is 10,800 square feet. All lots in the plat meet the minimum square footage. Lot Dimensions: The minimum frontage in the urban disu-ict is 80 feet or 90 feet on comer lots. For cul-de-sac lots, the frontage is measured at the building setback line. All lots in the plat meet the minimum lot dimensions. Ce-de-sac,s: None of the six cul-de-sacs proposed in the plat exceed the 600 foot length limit. However, a portion of the northernmost cul-de-sac in Block 8 is on property that is not within the plat boundaries. Lots 1 through 6 of Block 8 cannot be final platted until all necessary right-of-way for the su-eet is dedicated. The developer should explain how this is proposed to be accomplished. It would seem that the cleanest way to handle this is to bring the parcel involved with providing the additional street right-of-way (PIN 25-32-25- 23-0007) into the plat. This would also eliminate the need to plat Ouflot H in order for it to be conveyed to the owner of PIN 25-32-25-23-0007 in exchange for the additional street right-of-way. o · ,,_-114P is situated on the property and an.',, work below the Wetland Protected Wetland ordinary high water mark (858.13 will require a DNR permit. MUSA: The northernmost 12 lots are not within the MUSA boundary. These lots are proposed to be developed in Phase II of the plat; it is anticipated that the subject area will be within the MUSA by the time Phase II is developed. Utilities: The plat is proposed to be served by sewer and water. The developer and owners have petitioned the City. for sewer and water. The public hearing has been held and the Cip,., approved the project as a part of the Wood Pond Improvement Projects (Chestnut Hills, Cedar Hills, Windemere Woods, Chestnut Pond and Wood Pond Hills).
