City of Ramsey <br /> <br />15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 <br /> <br />(612) 427-1410 <br /> <br />February 26, 1992 <br /> <br />Mr. Gilbert Menkveld <br />P.O. Box 547 <br />Anoka, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Re: Sketch Plan Review; Ramsey Meadows <br /> <br />Gilbert: <br /> <br />We have received the sketch plan for Ramsey Meadows which consists of one sheet <br />drawn by Caine and Associates dated received by the City on February 11, 1992. <br />We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />1. Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential. <br /> <br />General: The proposed plat consists of approximately 29.5 acres to be <br />developed with municipal water and sanitary sewer and subdivided into 33 <br />single family lots. <br /> <br />Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban <br />Residential District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot <br />area is 10,800 square feet. Not all of the lots in the sketch plan meet the <br />minimum 80 foot width requirement. <br /> <br />Wetlands: The northwest portion of the plat is impacted by DNR Wetland <br />#729 and the southeast portion of the plat is impacted by DNR Wet[and <br />#658. The Ordinary High Water Mark (OHW) is not reflected on the sketch <br />plan, but is believed to be 860'. This should be conf'u'med by DNR. Also, <br />the topo~aphic contours for the plan are ten foot intervals. If the proposed <br />wetland OHW boundaries indicated on the sketch plan are based upon this <br />level of precision, substantial variation might be anticipated when more <br />detailed topographic information is collected. This could cause significant <br />alteration of lot numbers, shapes and su-eet alignments. All land at or below <br />the OHW is under DNR jurisdiction and permits would be required for any <br />alterations to the basins. No filling would be allowed for the creation of <br />upland. All lots should meet minimum areas (10,800 square feet) based <br />upon land area above the OHW. <br /> <br />Streets: The primary street to the subdivision is 149th Avenue N.W., <br />which is presently dedicated and in place as a din street. There should be <br />discussion at the preliminary platting phase regarding the paving <br />requirements. The remaining two proposed streets connect in a logical <br />manner to allow for connection to future or existing adjacent streets. <br /> <br /> <br />
