REVIEWER: <br />DATE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />JULY 28, PROJECT ADDRESS 168TH LANE NW, EAST OF <br />2017 <br />PROJECT. TITLE COLE ADDITION <br />EscRow # 115739 <br />DEPARTMENT: Engineering <br />Name: Leonard Linton <br />TECHNICAL Phone: 763 433-9834 <br />Email: llinton@ci.ramsey.mn.us <br />KAMACITE STREET <br />We offer the following comments regarding the request for variance to the full cul-de-sac <br />requirements for this plat. <br />Engineering does not support the variance. City Code does permit temporary cul-de-sacs. The <br />City did permit temporary cul-de-sacs by policy in the past. Temporary cul-de-sacs imply the <br />road will be extended in the future. There are several temporary cul-de-sacs that have been in <br />place for over 15 years with no indications that the adjacent land will develop in the near future. <br />The road must be built with a permanent, full size cul-de-sac. If the road is extended in the future, <br />the pavement beyond the normal curb lines can be removed and restored to match the adjacent <br />yards. <br />While this may impact the number of buildable lots, there is not guarantee by the City that a certain <br />number of lots can be developed on any parcel. The minimum lot size was added to code to ensure <br />that there is adequate separation between the home and any wetlands or ponds on the site. <br />
