Koshak, P.E. Peter R. Raatikka, P.E. Honorable Mayor & City Council City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Alpaca Estates 3rd Addition Final Plat Dear Council Members: We have reviewed the above referenced final plat and accompanying construction plans and specifications. Following is a list of comments relating to the plat. 1. The City Council approved the preliminary plat on June 26, 1985. Additional soil borings and a grading plan showing the filling of the questionable lots has been provided. In review of the final plat requirements of the City Code, we find that an address map and a resubdivision plan were not provided. As previously stated, the two temporary cul-de-sacs exceed the maximum length of 600 feet. Therefore, a variance should be granted to Article 170.03B7 of the City Code. As previously stated, the plat lies within the Critical Rivers Corridor. Therefore, the plat must comply with the Environmental Protection Ordinance. In review of the plans and specifications, the thickness of the bituminous surfacing should be increased to two inches on the typical sections on sheets 1 and 4. Also, the ditches along Armstrong Boulevard which are at 4% grade should be restored with sod. The seeding specification should be revised to include all disturbed areas since the plat is in the Critical Rivers Corridor. We have estimated the cost of the improvements to be $110,000 which includes restoration of all disturbed areas. The bond or escrow requirement is 125 percent of the estimated cost or $137,500. civil · municipal · planning · soils · land surveying · landscape architecture
