Blaine, MN 554;34 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Rarnsey Commons 2nd Addition Dear Mr. Menkveld: We are in receip~ of your sketch for the proposed plat of Ramsey Commons 2nd Addition. The proposed subdivision is a replat of Lots 1-4, Block 1, Ramsey Commons. We offer the following comments: General; The property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and is proposed to be replaned into seven (7) single family urban residential lots.

The sketch plan did not indicate lot sizes; however, it appears that the smallest lot is approximately 13,800 square feet while the largest is in excess of 25,250 square feet.

No lots will have access onto Nowthen Blvd. N.W. o U,tilities: This plat will be serviced by municipal sewer and waterrnain and 148th Lane will be constructed to Cit)' standards.

A park should be dedicated between Lots 3 and 4 to accommodate this loop of utilities and that wa), a trail could also be constructed between Lots 3 and 4 to provide pedestrian access from the cul-de-sac to Count)' Road #5.
