City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., PHONE ((;~2~ 427.;,~i0 FAX (612) 427-5543 RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · TDD (612) 427.8591 October 29, 1993 John Peterson Good Value Homes 9445 East River Road N.W. Coon Rapids, MN 55433 Re: Prel/mina.w Plat Review; Chestnut Ridge Dear Mr. Peterson: We have received the revised preliminary plat and grading plan for Chestnut Ridge which consists of Sheet 1 and 2 of 2 drawn by Passe Engineering, Inc. dated October 26, 1993. We offer the following comments: 1. Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and is permissible for development with single family residential lots. o General: The site area is approximately 35.1 acres in size. The sketch plan reviewed earlier this year originally proposed to develop the site with 58 single family homes. A major element of concern at the time of sketch plan review was the alignment of Sunwood Drive as a collector sneer. Proceeding to preliminary plat approval was contingent upon resolution of Sunwood Drive. The preliminary plat submitted for approval has been scaled back to elimqnate the need to resolve Sunwood Drive, proposes to plat I2 single f, mily lots, and reserves the remaining property as Outlot A for future development. .~rilJties: Development of the properD~' will require the extension of streets, sewer and water. The developer is proposing to accomplish these improvements as a private project without financial participation on the part of the City. Lot Sizes .~¢ Dimensions: All of the lots are adjacent to Wetland 114--P (R~rnsey Terrace Pond) and Lots 6 through 12 are subject to the shoreland zoning requirements for which the minimum lot size is 15,000 square feet, above ordinary high water and the minirnnrn lot width at the water frontage is 75 feel The structures on these lots will also have to be able to meet a 50 foot setback from the ordinary high water mark. By the information prov/ded on the prelim/nary plat, it appears that all area and dimension requirements have been met. Access to Lots: The Developer proposes providing :access to the above lots with an extension of approximately 650 feet of IQ'ypton Street terminating .in a cul-de-sac. This length added to the existing 750 feet of t-2rszpton Street N.W. in Wood Pond Hilis subdivision would ~eate a cut-de-sac having a total length of 1400 feet from its intersection with Sunwood Drive N.W. This, of course, exce~s the Ctty's recommended standard for having cul-de-sacs no greater than 600 feet in length.
