CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE DATE 4/24/15 PROJECT ADDRESS PROJECT. TITLE BROOKFIELD 6TH ADDITION- FINAL PLAT OF 18 LOTS ESCROW # 114635 DEPARTMENT: Planning TECHNICAL REVIEWER: Name: Chris Anderson Phone: 763-433-9817 Email: canderson@cityoframsey.com We are in receipt of plans prepared by APA Consulting Engineers & Surveyors and dated March 13, 2015, consisting of twelve (12) sheets: C1, C2, C3, G1, G2, L1, D1, D2, D3, SW1, SW2, and the Final Plat (together, the "Plans"). We offer the following comments regarding your request for a Final Plat for Brookfield 6t' Addition (note that sheet specific corrections are identified at the end of this review): General: The applicant is requesting Final Plat approval of Brookfield 6t' Addition. This project will re - plat a portion of Outlot A, Brookfield 4t' Addition into eighteen (18) single family residential lots. This is a continuation of the Brookfield Addition west of Nowthen Boulevard and generally north of 167t' Avenue. The original Brookfield Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council on September 13, 2005. In 2009, the City Council approved an Amended and Restated Development Agreement related to the first three phases of BROOKFIELD as well as an Amendment to Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Cost Contribution/Reimbursement Agreement. To service the BROOKFIELD as well as the SWEETBAY RIDGE developments, the original developer agreed to extend certain trunk lines (sanitary sewer and water) to these subdivisions at the cost of the developer. As the benefit of these trunk lines extends beyond these two (2) subdivisions, the City entered into the Reimbursement Agreement as a way for the developer to recapture a portion of the $6,000,000 investment in trunk line construction. These credits are factored into the Development Fee calculations attached hereto. Land Use and Zoning: The site is guided Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Comprehensive Plan and is located within the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District. The minimum lot size in the R-1, MUSA zone is 10,800 sq. ft. Each of the proposed lots meets the minimum lot size. Setbacks: The required setbacks are outlined below. Note that it appears that there was carryover language from Brookfield 4t' Addition regarding the front yard setback for Blocks 3 and 4 (this Final Plat does not contain a Block 4). Within this Plat, there are no exceptions for a reduced front yard setback on any lot and the table on Sheet Cl must be revised accordingly to eliminate the reference to a twenty-five (25) foot front yard setback for Blocks 3 and 4.
