CASE #5 REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF FAYE ADDITION; CASE OF FAYE CONSTRUCTION, B.B. CHAPMAN By: Sylvia Frolik, Acting Community Development Director Background: Faye Construction is requesting preliminary plat approval of Faye Addition. The plat consists of 103 acres and is proposed to be developed with 95 single family residential lots and approximately 46 acres of commercial development adjacent to Hwy. #10. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) Site location map Proposed preliminary plat Letter from B.B. Chapman dated January 9, 1991. Park and Recreation Commission meeting minutes dated January 10, 1991. Letter from Metro Council dated February 19, 1991. Letter from B.B. Chapman dated February 27, 1991. City Engineer's review letter dated February 28, 1991. Observations: On July 19, 1990, the City of Ramsey received a subdivision application for the proposed Faye Addition. On August 7, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a sketch plan review of Faye Addition and tabled action pending additional information from the Park and Recreation Commission, options for access to the adjacent Kelly property, alternatives to developing multi- family residential units adjacent to Riverside West and exceeding 1,000 feet of commercial development south of Hwy. #10. On August 8, 1990, the Park and Recreation Commission conducted a sketch plan review of Faye Addition and recommended accepting land to satisfy park dedication requirements. On September 4, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission met and tabled sketch plan review pending resolution of outstanding issues regarding the future of Outlots A and B with respect to exchange of property with the Anoka County Parks Department, access to the Kelly property, development of multi-family residential adjacent to existing single family residential development and the affect of possible airport safety zoning on the plat. On October 2, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission met to review the sketch plan for Faye Addition. The developer reported that the sketch plan had been revised to replace multi-family residential units with single family residential units; Outlots A and B were reduced to one 5 acre outlot to be dedicated to the homeowners association as private open space; the property that would fall into Airport Safety Zone B had been redesigned to also accommodate multi-family development depending on future zoning. The Commission approved the sketch plan contingent upon providing an easement for access to the Kelly property and eliminated the cul-de-sac that exceeds 600 feet in the westerly portion of the plat. On November 7, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission met for a pre-preliminary plat review of Faye Addition. The Commission approved the sketch plan and recommended that the developer proceed to preliminary plat stage.
