City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 June 29, 1993 John Peterson Good Value Homes 9445 East River Road N.W. Coon Rapids, MN 55433 Re: Sketch Plan Review; Chesmut Ridge Dear Mr. Peterson: We have received the sketch plan for Chestnut Ridge which consists of one sheet drawn by Char- Mar Corporation dated received by the City on June 7, 1993. We offer the following comments: Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and is permissible for development with single family residential lots. Generi~t; The proposed plat consists of approximately 35 acres to be developed with municipal water and sanitary sewer and subdivided into 58 single family tots. L0~ Sizes and Dimension.~: The minimum tot 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. All of the lots on Bock 1 and Lots 1 through 16 of Block 2 are adjacent to Wetland 114P (Ramsey Terrace Pond) for which the minimum lot size is 15,000 square feet above ordinary high water and the minimum lot width at the water frontage is 75 feet. The structures on these tots wilt also have to be able to meet a 50 foot setback from the ordinary high water mark. It is understood that the plan being reviewed is only the sketch stage and verification of compliance with the above described requirements will have to be reflected on the preliminary plat. Access to Lots: All lots in the plat would be accessed by interior streets with the exception of Lots 5 through 8 on Block 1 and Lots 6 through 9 on Block 2. These lots are proposed to be served by a private driveway similar to the method used in Chestnut Hill when developable area is restricted by wetlands. Wetlands: DNR Wetland #114-P is located on the property. The ordinary high water level (OHW) in indicated to be 858.0 feet. All land at or below the OHW is under DNR jurisdiction and permits would be required for any alterations to the basin. No filling would be allowed for the creation of upland without a wetland mitigation plan approved by DNR. DNR has been provided with a copy of the sketch plan. Streets: The plat has been designed with a through street from Chestnut Hill to the south traversing to the north property boundary. As mentioned earlier, several lots are proposed to be served by a private driveway because of the amount of developable property available due to the wetland.
