Review File: Rum River Prairie Preliminary Plat Request January 26, 2018 Page 2 of 2 (25) single family residential lots. Four (4) of the lots would be accessed by a new public road off of Tiger Street NW, an additional eighteen (18) lots would gain access off of a proposed roadway identified as 169th Avenue, one (1) lot would gain access off of Tiger Street NW, and the final two (2) lots would gain access off of Baugh Street, which is an existing public street. Streets and Access. The Applicant is proposing to construct a new roadway shown as 169th Avenue as well as constructing a cul-de-sac road shown as 169th Ct NW. Each of the proposed roadways are shown at a width of 32 feet with a 66 foot right-of-way. Staff has provided Anoka County with the proposed development and requested feedback regarding the intersection of Tiger Street NW and Armstrong Boulevard NW. To date Staff has not yet received comment from Anoka County. Proposed Lots. With the exception of Lot 1 Block 4 which is seeking a lot area variance, each of the proposed lots meets the requirements of the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). The Applicant has submitted soil borings for primary and secondary septic locations for each of the original twenty four lots and is being requested to provide soil borings for the 25th lot which is identified as Lot 1 Block 4. This is the same lot which is seeking a lot area variance. Lot Area Variance. A variance to the lot area requirement is being sought for one of the twenty-five (25) Single Family lots. The proposed lot requiring a variance is similar in size and nature to surrounding parcels in that the proposed property is 1.37 acres and the surrounding properties are 1.03 acres, 1.37 acres, and 0.91 acres in size. The proposed lot appears to be consistent with the adjacent neighborhood. Trails. The Applicant will need to revise the plans to show a trail easement on the northern and southern sides of Armstrong Boulevard NW. This is the policy of the City of Ramsey for projects adjacent to County highways. Grading and Drainage Plans. Please see Engineering Comments with regard to grading and drainage. Note that a separate Review Memo from the Engineering Department will be provided as an addendum to this review. Development Fees. Development Fees will be due with the Plat including, but not limited to, Park Dedication, Trail Development, and Stormwater Management. These fees are collected at the time the Final Plat is recorded and at the rate in effect when the plat is recorded. Development Agreement: An executed Development Agreement will be required prior to releasing the plat for recording.
