Blaine, MN 55434 Re: Preliminary Plat Review; Sunfish Square Dear Jack: We have received the proposed preliminary plat for Sunfish Square which consi,~ of one sheet drawn by Ca/ne & Associates Land Surveyors, Inc., date September 14, 1993 14, 1993. We offer the following comments: ZdZllJ. I%% The subject property is zoned Industrial. To develop the property w~ith a combination of single family, multi-family and business will require a rezoning. Upon approval of the preliminary plat, an application for rezoning should be initiated to rezone the property accordingly. General: The proposed plat consists of approximately 40 acres to be developed with murficipal water and sanita_D, sewer and sub, vialed into approximately 69 single f~rn-;ly lots. Approximately 8.7 acres would be reserved for furore development with mulfi-fam~ty un, ts and 1.2 acres for commercial businesses. It is intended that the existing asphalt company located on the property would be relocated. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban Resident/al District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot area is 10,800 square feet. Cut-de- sac lots must be 80 foot wide at the structure setback line. All of the single fsrnily residential lots meet these requirements. Additionally, it should be noted that the lots adjacent to Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and Coun~ Road gl 16 appear to be large enough to provide for a structure setback of 110 feet from the thorough.fare centerline or 50 feet from the property line, whichever is greater. Access to PJat and Streets: At the time of sketch plan review, only one access to County Road #Ii6 (Industry Avenue) was shown. In accordance with the recornmendadon of City Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission,'the plat has been redesi~maed to also provide an oudet to County Road #57 (Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W.). This access onto Sunfish Lake Blvd. is very desirable as it would distribute traffic from th/s and adjacent subdivisions more evenly and provide access to both County Road #116 and County Road #57. The preliminary plat has been forwarded to the County Engineering Department for theLr review and comment. The plat, as shown, would suggest that additional accesses onto County Road #57 and County Road #116 w/il be required to service Lot 33 wkich is being
