Addition Dear Mr. Schmitt: We are in receipt of a Preliminary Plat for Regency Pond 4th Addition'prepared by James R. Hill, inc. dated July [3, 2004, revised August 8, 2004, revised September 20, 2004, revised October 6, 2004. We offer the following comments: General: The preliminary plat is proposing to rep/at Outlot A of Regency Pond into Lot 1, Block 1, Regency Pond 4ti' Addition, in order to construct a mini-storage facility. The subject property is generally located on Ramsey Bird and Bunker Lake Blvd. Zoning: The site is currently zoned E- 1; storage facilities are a permitted use in this zoning district. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: Lot 1 is approximately 4.8 acres in size, which exceeds the 1-acre minimum lot size requirement in the E-1 district. The lot has 141 feet of frontage on Bunker Lake Blvd and 555 feet of frontage on Ramsey Blvd, which meets the minimum lot width of 200 feet in the E-1 District. Streets: The site is located on Ramsey Blvd and Bunker Lake Blvd. The preliminary plat proposes to provide access to the site through an individual access from Ramsey Blvd. Staff has received written comments from Anoka County that indicate this access is acceptable to the County, provided that this access also accommodate any redevelopment on the parcel on the corner of Highway 116 and Ramsey Blvd. The preliminary plat also shows Outlot A south of the Ramsey Blvd. access; additional legal arrangements will be necessary to ensure access to the parcel on the corner. The preliminary plat shows a turn around area instead of a full cul de sac at the terminus of 148th Ave NW. Section 9.50.30 of City Code requires a cu[ de sac with a minimum right-of-way diameter of 130 feet and a minimum roadway diameter of 100 feet. A dedi-cated portion of roadway meeting this standard must be provided. Code also requires a 20-~bot setback between public streets and parking and maneuvering areas. Utilities: The utili~ plan is being reviewed as part of the site plan submittal. Drainage and utility easements must be provided over all sanitary, sewer and watermains. These easements must be a minimum of 20 ~'eet in width, and must be shown on the final plat. Drainage a)~d Grading: The grading and drainage plan is also being reviewed as a part of the site plan submittal. A drainage and grading plan has been prepared as sheet 5 of 5 of the submittals last revised October 6, 2004. This plan proposes to collect drainage from the entire site tkrough a series of storm sewer
