CASE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR RIVER BLUFFS P.U.D.; CASE OF LES MILLER AND JACK MILLER By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: The proposed plat of River Bluffs P.U.D. received preliminary plat approval on December 19, 1989. The plat consisted of 60 acres proposed to be subdivided into 20 lots. The original sketch plan for River Bluffs consisted of an entrance at 153rd and two cul-de-sacs to service the lots. That sketch plan was refused by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the developer was directed to reconfigure the plat to have through streets connecting with Juniper Ridge Drive to the west and Oneida Street to the north. The developer did so and the plat received preliminary approval. The developer has now approached the City for a revised preliminary plat. The streets have been reconfigured so that the through street with Oneida Street to the north is eliminated and Juniper Ridge Drive is extended into the plat from the west as a cul-de-sac. In doing so, the number of lots also increased from 20 to 24. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) g) Sketch plan City Landscape Architect's Review dated December 4, 1989 City Engineer's review letter dated December 5, 1989 Preliminary plat approved on December 19, 1989 Letter from DNR dated January 18, 1990 Proposed revised preliminary plat dated February 12, 1991 City Engineer's review letter dated May 2, 1991 Observations: On Novewmber 2, 1989, the City of Ramsey received an application and sketch plan from Jack and Les Miller for Rum River Bluff. On November 6, 1989, the Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission tabled this case until their special meeting scheduled for November 21, 1989. On November 9, 1989, the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission recommended acceptance of the sketch plan subject to modifications suggested on November 9th with the condition that a suitable vehicle access be worked out.
