City of Ramsey 1~153 NOW'tHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 ApfilJ0,1992 Mr. Robert McDonald 14828 Evergreen Street N.W. Andover, MN 55304 Re: Sketch Plan Review; McDonald Addition Dear Robert: This letter is in response to your request for a minor subdivision in the City of Rams.~y to be named McDonald Addition. We have received the sketch plan which consists of one sheet drawn by Lynn Caswell of John Oliver & Associates, Inc., datedMareh 20, 1992. We offer the following comments: General: The proposed plat is in the R-1 Rural Residential District and consists of approximately 54 acres to be subdivided into 2 lots, one platted at 5 acres in size and the remaining 49 acres making up the second lot. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: Both lots in the plat meet the minimum lot size of 2.5 acres; the plat does not exceed 4 in 40 density zoning. Access to Lots: No construction of streets into the plat is proposed. The applicant is proposing a shared access onto Variolite Street to serve the 2 lots. The shared access is proposed to line up with 166th Avenue on the west side of Variolite Street. Soils: City Code has adopted a standard of 25% of a 2-t/2 acre lot or 27,225 square feet as being deemed acceptable for the creation of an unsewered lot. Each of the two lots has over two acres of Class 1 soils. Drainage and Utility Easements: The plat should be modified to include ten (10) foot drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of each of the two lots. Future Subdivision; Under the present 4 in 40 density zoning, the applicant would be allowed the development of five rural lots on this area of land. The developer has submitted a future subdivision exhibit which identified the potential development of four suburban lots on this parcel, primarily due to poor soils for on-site septic systems. The applicant proposes that in the event these two additional lots are created, they would be served by a shared access onto Variolite Street.
