City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 * 1612) 427-1410 February 27, 1991 Rick Foster Oxbow Properties Route 1, Box 185 Princeton, MN 55371 RE: Sketch Plan Review of River's Bend 3rd Addition Dear Mr..Foster: l have reviewed the above referenced sketch plan, which was prepared by Lynn P. Caswell, Land Surveyor and dated February 15, 1991. I offer the following commems: 13 The proposed plat consists of approximately 20 acres, the majority of which is currently zoned 13-1 with the exception of a small portion on the Northwest corner of the property which is zoned R-3U. The proposed uses will require rezoning the eastern portion of the property to R-1U. The entire development is anticipated to be sen, iced with municipal water and sewer. 2) Block 1 should be incorporated into Block 4, since it has been a past practice for blocks be defined by dividing streets and adjacent property lines. The North/South street will service a business district and therefore will function as a minor arterial street. I believe this street and the 290 foot street segment connecting it to St. l=rancis Boulevard should be dedicated as an 80 foot right-of-way. 4) Access to all lots contained in Blocks 2 and 3 from St. Francis Boulevard should be restricted. 5) Where possible, tangent sections of one hundred feet should be maintained at approaches to intersections and the angle between legs of the intersection should be within 20 de~ees of perpendicular. City Code requires comer lots to be platted ten feet (10') wider than interior lots. Therefore, lots 27 and 15 of Block 4, should be a minimum of 90 feet wide at the 35 foot setback point. 7) Except for cul-de-sac lots, lot widths need to be 80 feet at the property line and cannot diminish in width until a point beyond the setback. Currently, lots 14, 28 and 29 of Block 4 do not comply with this requirement.
