CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />DATE <br />3-28-14 <br />PROJECT ADDRESS <br />6080 HIGHWAY 10 NW <br />PROJECT. TITLE <br />VILLAGE BANK SKETCH PLAN REVIEW <br />ESCROW # <br />114039 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Planning <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />Name: Tina Goodroad <br />Phone: 651-967-4537 <br />Email: tina.goodroad@stantec.com <br />Tim Gladhill <br />763-576-4308 <br />tladhill@cityoframsey.com <br />We offer the following comments regarding your request for a Sketch Plan for parcel owned by Village <br />Bank located at 6080 Highway 10 NW. <br />General: The Applicant is requesting approval of a sketch plan review for a seven (7) lot single family <br />residential subdivision. This proposed sketch plan is located south of Highway 10 NW, immediately <br />adjacent to the existing cul-de-sac of Rivlyn Avenue at the city's eastern border. The purpose of the <br />Sketch Plan is to review the general layout of the proposed lots, street/cul-de-sac and overall use of the <br />property. This is the first step prior to submittal of a preliminary plat. <br />Land Use and Zoning: The site is guided <br />Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan and <br />is located in the E-1 Employment District <br />(City Code Section 117-117) on the Official <br />Zoning Map. Parallel to the Preliminary Plat <br />review (next stage), a Comprehensive Plan and <br />Zoning Amendment shall be required. A <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Low <br />Density Residential (LDR) will be required. <br />Additionally, a Zoning Amendment to R-1 <br />Residential (MUSA) or Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) will also be required to <br />support the change in use to residential. As the <br />Applicant is requesting a change to the <br />existing and planned land use, the City does <br />have some broad, discretionary authority. In <br />other words, the City is not obligated to <br />approve this request, but must weigh the facts <br />of the case as it relates to the compatibility of <br />the surrounding area. <br />The pyramid framework illustrates hour much discretionthe city has to crake land use decisions <br />based on the role it is playing. <br />Conditional <br />Use Permits <br />Subdivision Applications <br />An Zoning/Subdivision <br />Ordinances <br />Comprehensive Pla <br />Source: League of Minnesota Cities <br />It should be noted that the City did receive one comment by phone from Lano Equipment expressing <br />concern if a residential use would be compatible in close proximity to uses within the E-1 Employment <br />District that may generate noise that would distract from the residential setting. It should be noted that <br />Lano Equipment must abide by the same noise regulations in existence today that protect the existing, <br />adjacent residential development. <br />
