Vegetation on the site consists mainly of wild grasses with pine trees bordering the east side of the property. The proposed plan and letter indicate landscaping will be provided but no specifics are mentioned. c. The topography of the site is moderately sloping to the southeast. A small depression is located on Lot 3 which is proposed to be expanded into Lot 2 to provide for a stormwater holding pond. The City of Ramsey will obtain a drainage easement over the pond when the plat is filed. Traffic circulation will be limited to Lots 1 and 2 and Lots 3 and 4. These lots will also share common drive- ways. The impact on the traffic volumes on C.S.A.H. #5 will be minimal in the early stages of development. However, when utilities, are installed and traffic volumes increase on C.S.A.H. #5, it would be advisable to limit the number of access points unto the highway. Therefore, we would recommend that the portion of the 50-foot setback area adjacent to C.S.A.H. #5 be kept relatively clear for the possible construction of a future frontage road. This development is proposed to receive sanitary service in 1990. In the past, it has been the City's policy to limit the density within the Urban Area to one dwelling unit per acre as stated on page 37 of the Comprehensive Plan. To allow for development of more than one building, the City would have to change their existing policy on density. Also, a contract or an agreement has to be drawn up to cover the construction and maintenance of a common on-site wastewater disposal system as per Section 150.014H of the City Code. Since.the proposed construction schedule spans four years, the City should not grant permits for all buildings at the same time. Therefore, if it appears that city sewer does not progress on schedule, development of the plat could be delayed. Development concepts: The land use relationships are consistent with the City Code. It is anticipated that this development will provide a buffer between the urban residential develop- ment and future commercial development to the south.
