Hakanson Anderson Assoc., Inc. Engineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects December 1, 1987 Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman Ramsey Planning & Zoning Commission city of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Flintwood Hills 5th Addition (P.U.D.) Dear Mr. Zimmerman: We have reviewed the Flintwood Hills 5th Addition Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) and offer the following comments. The proposed plat consists of three (3) lots and is the fourth phase of the overall P.U.D. which was approved on May 24, 1984. The proposed use of the three lots has been changed from 12 quad lots as approved on the preliminary plat to two apartment buildings and an office building. The proposed modifications constitute a major change from the preliminary site plan as outlined in City Code 170.016K and requires the submittal of a new site plan. In review, of the new preliminary site plan, the square footage of the lots was not shown. Based on the lot dimensions, Lots 1 and 2 exceed 20,000 square feet and Lot 3 exceeds 27,000 square feet. In review of the drainage easements, I would recommend 15 feet of easement along Block 4, Flintwood Hills Second Addition. A 5 foot easement was provided with the Second Addition. I would also recommend that the City deed back the 20 foot exception between Outlots M and N as discussed in my letter of November 9, 1981 to Mr. William Goodrich. The proposed easements on the north side of the Flintwood Hills 5th Addition will provide a drainage outlet to the First Addition. Based on city Code 170.16K, a landscape plan should be provided. Since this plat abutts R-1 and R-2 uses, I would recommend that a 15 foot buffer be provided as required in City Code 170.016D. 222 Monroe Street Anoka, Minnesota 5 53C3 612/4!7-5860 Eugene J.
