City of Ramsey 16153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 (612) 427-1410 July 21, 1993 Sharon Wagner 6802 I3?th Avenue N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Final Plat Review; Sharon Lee Addition Dear Ms. Wagner: We have received your proposed f'mE plat for a minor subdivision to be named Sharon Lee Addition. The f'mal plat consists of one sheet prepared by Hedlund Engineering dated received by the City on July 13, 1993. We offer the following comments: .General: The property is zoned R-I Urban Residential and the proposed subdivision is a replat of Lot 1, Block 6, Riverside West, into two (2) lots, one of which will contain the existing home in the subject area. Lot Sizes: Both of the lots in the proposed plat exceed the 20,000 square foot minimum lot area requirement for riparian lots in the Critical River District. LOt Dimensions: The minimum lot width at the building line and at the river frontage in the Critical River District is 90 feet. Both of the lots exceed this requirement. Structure Setbacks; The structure setback for lots in the Critical River District is 20 feet from the bluff line or 1130 feet from the ordinary high water m~rk, whichever is greater. It appears the new lot created will be able to provide a building pad that meets this requirement. As of the date of this writing, the City has not yet received verification that the existing home on what is proposed to be Lot 1 will meet the 10 foot side yard setback from the proposed common boundary line. Streets. The lots in the plat will be served by 137th Avenue N.W., which is currently an improved street to City standards. However, since the westerly extension of 137th Avenue N.W. into Rivenwick as a through street, the cut-de,sac configuration on the western half of the proposed Sharon Lee Addition is no longer necessary. The developer has declined to pay the expenses incurred with vacating the eyebrow of the cul-de-sac. Therefore, it is Staffs recommendation that the cul-de-sac easement remain in tact for purposes of the plat and that the plat be modified accordingly. Utilities: This plat will be served by municipal sewer and watermain made available to the property as a result of the Rivenwick development. In accordance with adopted City policy, the cost of the sewer and water improvements, to the extent as if they would have been assessed, will be due as a condition of the creation of the land subdivision.
