Hill, Inc. <br />We offer the following comments: <br />General: The final plat is proposing to replat Outlot A of Regency Pond into Lot 1, Block 1, and <br />Outlot A, Regency Pond 4th Addition, in order to construct a mini -storage facility. The subject <br />property is generally located on Ramsey Blvd and Bunker Lake Blvd. <br />Zoning: The site is currently zoned E-1; storage facilities are a permitted use in this zoning <br />district. <br />Lot Size and Dimensions: Lot 1 is approximately 4.8 acres in size, which exceeds the 1 -acre <br />minimum lot size requirement in the E-1 district. The lot has 141 feet of frontage on Bunker <br />Lake Blvd and 555 feet of frontage on Ramsey Blvd, which meets the minimum lot width of 200 <br />feet in the E-1 District. <br />Streets: The site is located on Ramsey Blvd and Bunker Lake Blvd. The final plat proposes to <br />provide access to the site through an individual access from Ramsey Blvd. Staff has received <br />written comments from Anoka County that indicate this access is acceptable to the County, <br />provided that this access also accommodate any redevelopment on the parcel on the corner of <br />Highway 116 and Ramsey Blvd. The final plat shows Outlot A over the proposed access; you <br />have indicated your intention to dedicate this outlot to the City in order to provide future access <br />to the lot on the corner. The dedication page on the submitted final plat does not dedicate Outlot <br />A to the City; Staff is recommending to the City Council that Outlot A be formally dedicated or <br />an easement be drafted to ensure access to the corner parcel. <br />Section 9.50.30 of City Code requires a cul-de-sac with a minimum right-of-way diameter of 130 <br />feet and a minimum roadway diameter of 100 feet. A smaller cul-de-sac may be required, <br />depending on anticipated traffic volume, planned function of the street, and character of abutting <br />land use. At their October 19, 2004 work session, the City Council recommended a smaller cul- <br />
