CASE # q REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF CHESTNUT RIDGE; CASE OF JOHN PETERSON, GOOD VALUE HOMES By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: On June 7, 1993, the City of Ramsey received 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 the extension of Sunwood 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 Sunwood Drive N.W. Seven of the lots were proposed to receive access from a cul- de-sac extension of Krypton Street from Wood Pond Hills. Five of the lots were proposed to receive access from a private drive extending off the end of Krypton Street N.W. On October 5, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and at the request of the Developer, tabled action on the proposed preliminary plat of Chesmut Ridge. It was also noted that it may be feasible to construct Krypton Street as a through street, thereby eliminating the excessively long dead-end street and private drive. On October 26, the City received a revised preliminary plat for Chesmut Ridge. The plat still consisted of 12 single family lots, however, the entirety of Krypton Street was platted as a cut-de- sac constructed to City standards and the concept of the private drive had been eliminated. On November 4, 1993, the revised preliminary plat was scheduled for review by the Planning Commission. The applicant was not present at the meeting and the case was tabled. On December 7, 1993, the proposed preliminary plat for Chestnut Ridge was scheduled for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Due to the number of items on the agenda, the Commission adjourned prior to reviewing Chestnut Ridge and the case was forwarded to the regular meeting in January. It was noted, however, that it is feasible to span the County ditch and construct Krypton Street N.W. as a through street. On December 15, 1993, the City received a revised preliminary plat for Chesmut Ridge that included 13 lots and the elimination of the excessively long cul-de-sac by the construction of Krypton St. N.W. as a through street.
