CASE REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF CHESTNUT RIDGE; CASE OF JOHN PETERSON, GOOD VALUE HOMES By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: On June 7, 19~93, the City of Ramsey receivcd an application from Good Value Homes for sketch plan review of Chestnut Ridge which consisted of 35 acres to be subdivided into 58 single family lots. On July 6, 1993, the Planning Commission tabled sketch plan review of Chestnut Ridge until the alignment of ~e extension of Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. was resolved with DNR. On August 30, 1993, the City of Ramsey received an application for preliminary plat approval of Chestnut Ridge that was scaled back to 12 lots and excluded that area potentially impacted by the extension of Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. Five of the lots were proposed to receive access from a private drive Oxtending off the end of Krypton Street N.W. On October $; the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and at the request of the Developer, tabled action on the proposed preliminary plat of Chestnut Ridge. It was also noted that it may be feasible to construct Krypton Street as a through street. On October 2i5, the City received a revised preliminary plat for Chestnut Ridge. The plat still consists of 12 ~ingle family lots, however, the entirety of Krypton Street has been platted as a cul- de-sac constructed to City standards and the concept of the private drive has been eliminated. The following Stems are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) ~ Proposed preliminary plat dated October 26, 1993 c) ;Proposed grading plan d) 'City Staff review letter dated October 29, 1993 ObservationS: The developerSs proposing to install the streets, sewer and water as a private development project with no financial participation on the part of the City. Park dedicatiofi is anticipated to consist of a cash payment. The grading pi.an must be reviewed by the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) arid should be modified to show a tree preservation plan for the plat. Whether Krygton Street is constructed as a cul-de-sac or a through street will depend on conversations getween the City Engineer, DNR, the developer and the Planning Commission. As you will note in the City Staff review letter, to span the County Ditch and construct Krypton Street as through sweet could be a very costly project.
