Andover, MN 55304 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Mississippi Heights Winslow: We are in ree,ip.~ Of your proposed sketch plan for Mississippi Heights consisting of one sheet drawn by Hy;.l..,a~d Surveying and dated received by the City on March 19, 1992. We offer the following com~.~' ~hts: I. Z2.rdllgl ~he subject property is zoned B-3 Highway Business. To develop the property with s{ng['e family residential homes would require rezoning the property to R-1 Urban ResidegQl31, The property east and west of the subject plat is zoned R-1 Urban Residential. The prbp~ on the north side of Riverdale Drive is zoned B-3 Business. 2. .Q.c..Q.trg~ i. The proposed plat consists of approximately 11 acres to be developed with mumc!pa?water and samtary sewer and subdivided into 19 single family lots. .~= i~ , . · ~ ..... 3. Lot $~¢s! and D~mens]on.: The proposed plat ~s located ~n the Cnncal River Area for whiehi:th~ minimum lot size for riparian lots is 20,000 square feet with a minimum lot width ~)f ~0 feet on the fiver frontage. The minimum square footage for non-riparian lots is 12,150 s~uare feet. The 80 foot lot width, 90 foot for corner lots, at street frontage and building ~tback line as established in the R-1 Urban Residential District would apply. Cul- de-sa~.' lot3:are required to be 80 foot wide at building setback line. Lots 4 through 12 in the sk~tc~ plan are considered to be riparian and meet the minimum 20,000 square feet of area, 9~ ~¢t width at fiver, and 80 foot width at street and building setback line. Ail non- ripari~ libts meet the minimum 12,150 square foot area requirement and the 80 foot width requfr{m~"nt. All corner lots meet the 90 foot width requirement and all cul-de-sac lots meet the 801f( ~6t width requirement at building setback line. The 100 !oot Mississippi River setback line on Lot 7 is slightly in error as shown on the sketch P an. Correctly drawn, it appears that Lot 7 is fairly restricted for a house pad locafi6n at meets all required setbacks. 4. ~ ~cre are two cul-de-sacs proposed in the plat, neither of which exceed the 600 foot l~n~ limit. It should be noted that it would be possible to extend the west cul-de-sac north iio~iverdale Drive as a through street. This would have the advantages of: 1) elimifiatlng an undesirable plat design feature of one access point for 17 lots; 2) elimJ.fiatihg double frontages for lots 15 and 16; 3) increasing the total number of lots by One; amd !4) better lot shapes, particularly for lot 17.
