Final Plat and Site Plan Review: Ramsey Town Center 2nd Addition April 23, 2004 Page 4 of 5 There are a couple of points of concern regarding the general location of street trees. First, no trees can be planted within thirty-five (35) feet of the back of curb of any intersecting street. It appears that many of'the "corner" trees on the plan are close to the minimum distance of thirty-five (35) feet from the back of curb. This is something that will require attention in the field when the trees are installed. Additionally, no tree shall be planted within fifteen (15) feet of a hydrant. If a conflict does exist, the spacing of the trees may need to be adjusted or a tree(s) may need to be eliminated from the planting schedule. If the latter is necessary, the City must be informed of the changes prior to any work being conducted. Mailbox Location: The placement of mailboxes for the townhome units should be located along the private streets when possible. 'Location of mailboxes along public streets will need to be clustered and is subject to the review and approval of the Streets Supervisor. Address Signal~e: You are in the process of supplying the City with an address location sign (specifying the units addresses) to be placed at the entrance of all private streets. The required signage will assist emergency services in locating a specific unit when called to the site. The address signage is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and Police Chief. It should be noted that signs identifying the development w. ill require a separate sign permit. · REU Number: The City has enacted a quarterly drainage utility charge that is applicable to the proposed development. The total quarterly drainage utility charge for the development will be provided at the time the City receives the necessary information. Development Agreement: As part of the final plat approval, the City and the Developer will enter into a development agreement. The agreement will require, among other things, a letter of credit in the amount of 125% of the public ,improvements (public streets, stormwater improvements, and utilities) and another letter of credit in the amount of 150% of the costs of private improvements (private roads including curb and gutter as well as landscaping). Per your request, the Development Agreement will contain language that will allow footings and foundations to be constructed on selected buildings prior to the recording' of the plat. Other Permits: The Developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits required from other regulatory agencies. The 'City Council will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 27, 2004 at the Ramsey Fire Station No. 2, 15050 Armstrong Blvd. NW, to review your final plat.
