City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 May 25,1993 Jack Menkveld North Suburban Development 8741 Central Avenue N.E. Blaine, MN 55434 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Sunfish Square Dear Jack: We have received the sketch plan for Sunfish Square which consists of one sheet and is dated received by the City on May 14, 1993. We offer the following comments: Zoning: The subject property is zoned Industrial. To develop the property with a combination of single family, multi-family and business will require a rezoning. 4 General: The proposed plat consists of approximately 40 acres to be developed with municipal water and sanitary sewer and subdivided into approximately 72 single family lots with area reserved for development of multi-family units and a commercial business such as a convenience store. It is our understanding that the existing asphalt company located on the property would be relocated. o ~-Ot Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban Residential District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot area is 10,800 square feet. Cul-de- sac lots must be 80 foot wide at the smacture setback tine. What has been received is a sketch plan and the lot dimensions and areas are not shown; this information must be provided on the preliminary plat. Additionally, it should be noted that in the preparation of the preliminary plat, lots adjacent to Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and County Road #116 will have to be large enough to provide for a smacture setback of 110 feet from the thoroughfare centerline or 50 feet from the property line, whichever is greater. Access to Plat: Although the plat is bordered on two sides by two major thoroughfares, only one access to County Road #116 (Industry Avenue) is shown. It is Staffs recommendation that access also be planned onto Sunfish Lake Blvd., contingent upon concurrence from the County Engineering Department. This access onto Sunfish Lake Blvd. is very desirable as it would distribute traffic from this and adjacent subdivisions more evenly and provide access to both County Road #116 and County Road #57. Streets. Also, upon City Staffs recommendation, the plat has been designed with 143rd Avenue N.W. as a through street into Cedar Hills 2nd Addition. This will require a minor revision to the plat of Cedar Hills 2nd Addition, which Staff is pursuing. o Park Dedication. The proposed plat will have to be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission. It is very likely that the park dedication will consist of a cash contribution and possibly developing a pedestrian connection to Emerald Pond Park to the east.
