City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 (612) 427-1410 July 16, 1992 Mr. Norman Bury Bury & Carlson, Inc. 201 W. 121st Street Burnsville, MN 55337 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Bury & Carlson Addition Dear Mr. Bur),: We are in receipt of your proposal for a minor subdivision in the City of Ramsey to be named Bury & Carlson Addition. The sketch plan consists of one sheet drawn by N.C. Hoium dated May 29, 1992. We offer the following comments: General: The proposed plat is in the Business Warehouse (BW) District and consists of approximately 17 acres to be subdivided into one lot and Outlot A. The proposed plat boundaries also take in the existing Outlots B and C of Gateway North Industrial Park. It is our understanding that the developer is in the processing of acquiring these outlots but prefers not to bring them into the plat. The plat boundaries should be modified accordingly. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot size in the BW District is one acre. Lot 1, Block 1 of Bury and Carlson Addition measures approximately 15.5 acres, 17 acres including the ponding area proposed as outlot. o Drainage: What is designated as Outlot A in the sketch plan is an existing wetland. Staff recommends that this designation of this outlot be changed to drainage easement in the final plat. The City's Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan calls for an outlet from this ponding area through Outlot B, Gateway North Industrial Park, to the east and eventually discharges through the existing storm sewer in place along Sunfish L'ake Drive. Transportation: The City's thoroughfare plan calls for a collector street north of the railroad tracks and south of Count), Road #116, connecting Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and Ramsey Blvd. Although Outlot B, Gateway North Industrial Park, is not proposed to be included in the plat, it should be noted for the record that Outlot B would facilitate such a road corridor. The Foster Cemetery is encompassed on three sides by the subject plat. It is reasonable to expect that access to the cemetery be provided from a dedicated roadway. It is also reasonable to expect that 143rd Avenue would be extended to the east at some point in the future. The current alignment of 1-13rd would dicta::, that extension to the east will require 33 feet of right-of-way along the northern boundarx of the proposed plat. It is Staffs recommendation that the final plat be re:~rawn to provide a 33 foot wide outlot across the northern boundary of the plat. The Development Agreement should then require that the developer provide the City with access to the cemetery with an easement across that outlot on tile northern boundan"and an easement from that outlot south to the cemetery.
