DATE PROJECT. TITLE ESCROW # DEPARTMENT: TECHNICAL REVIEWER: CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE DULY 1, 2016 PROJECT ADDRESS EAST OF OLIVINE STREET, SOUTH OF TROTT BROOK BROOKFIELD STH ADDITION SKETCH PLAN Community Development: Planning Division (Zoning Code) Name: Chris Anderson, City Planner Phone: (763) 433-9817 Email: candersonna.citvoframsev.com We offer the following comments regarding the Sketch Plan submittal for Brookfield 8th Addition as it relates to the City's Zoning Code. Sketch Plan submittal consists of one (1) sheet, prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. and dated May 16, 2016. General. The Sketch Plan proposes re -platting Outlot A, Brookfield 2nd Addition and the adjacent parcel to the south (PID No. 09-32-25-44-0017) into twenty-seven (27) single family residential lots. Twenty-six (26) of the new lots would be accessed by the extension of 168th Circle NW while one (1) lot would need to be serviced by the construction of a new cul-de-sac from the intersection of 166th Ave and Quartz Street. Land Use and Zoning. Outlot A' Brookfield 2nd Addition is s 4Q Conditional �ijy guided for Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan T Use Permits F and is zoned R-1 Residential (MUSA). The parcel to the south Subdivision Applications (PID No. 09-32-25-44-0017) is guided as Rural Developing in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned R-1 Residential (Rural 4' AI Developing). The intent of the Low Density Residential land use designation is to allow for the construction of single family dwellings with access to municipal sewer and water while the intent of the Rural Developing land use designation is to allow for the construction of single family dwellings to be serviced with private utilities (septic system and well). the pyramid framework illustrates haw much discretion the city has to make land nse decisions based on the role it is playing. Variances The Sketch Plan, as proposed, will require both a Zoning Amendment and a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow for the smaller lot sizes (proposed Lots 15-16, Block 2) and to service those lots with municipal water and sewer. Lot Sizes. The minimum lot size in the R-1 Residential District (MUSA) is 10,800 square feet with a minimum lot width of 80 feet (90 feet for corner lots), measured at the building setback line. The minimum lot size for the R-1 Residential District (Rural Developing) is two and a half (2.5) acres with a minimum lot width of 200 feet (at the building setback line). Note that lot width is measured at the property line abutting a street at the minimum setback line of the applicable zoning district. Lot 17, Block 2 does not have frontage along a public street. A cul-de-sac, meeting all City standards, will be required to access Lot 17, Block 2. In addition when reviewing the location of the floodweg, it does not appear that Lot 17, Block 2 is able to meet the minimum lot depth of 100 feet. The floodway is depicted in a graphic on page 2 of this review letter.
