I I i I I I I I I i TO WIIOM 1T blAY CONCERN: FROM: RE: DATE: Building Official Review of Urban Development Permit for Ramsey Commons October 13, 1982 Mr. Delano D. Skeim of Scandinavian Construction Company has submitted ;in application for an Urban Development Permit to develop Ramsey Comn~ons. This application bas been submitted in accordance to the requirements of our City Ordinance Section 170.O15 Urban Development Permit and Perfor- mz~nce Standards for "U" Districts. The applicant has submitted a synopsis of meetings with various city officials, a rough copy of floor plans as well as an undated letter of application which spells out what was submitted and what is proposed. In reviewing the application it appears to be quite thorough and those items that are specifically included are found with the information that was submitted as a part of the platting procedure. In view of the information that has been submitted, I will not comment on each specific item, but will instead comment only in general on the three specific areas of site analysis, development concepts and community in- volvement. Where no comments are made it can be assumed that the infor- mation provided is adequate to meet the intent of the ordinances. The conceptual drawing shows only the two driveways as designed with final plat approval. It should be noted that the type of driveway and parking lot surfacing is not designated anywhere in the proposal. City Ordinance requires the parking he hard surfaced if it is to accommodate five or mor~ vehicles. I feel that with four unit buildings, there will be more than five cars. This issue must, however, be resolved and made a part of the development agreement. The second item I feel that is not satisfactorily covered, at this time, is th~ design of the on-site spetic systems. However, according to the applicant, this cannot be done until the exact location of the systems have been determined as perk rates can vary considerably within a relatively small area. This is in fact true and therefore, I would recommend that the design of the system by a competitent soils engineer be made a contingency for the issuance of building permits. This could also be spelled out in the development agreement.
