CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />DATE <br />JANUARY 25, <br />PROJECT <br />NORTH AND SOUTH OF ARMSTRONG STREET <br />2018. <br />UPDATED <br />ADDRESS <br />AND WEST OF TIGER STREET NW <br />FEBRUARY <br />15,2018 <br />PROJECT. TITLE <br />RUM RIVER PRAIRIE: PRELIMINARY PLAT AND VARIANCE <br />ESCROW # <br />115968 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Community Development: Planning Division <br />Name: Eric Maass, Consultant Planner <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />Phone: 763-576-4306 <br />Email: EMaass wsben .com <br />Preliminary Plat & Variance Submittal Review <br />The proposed subdivision would create twenty-five (25) new single family residential lots in the R-1 Residential <br />(Rural Developing) District. Minimum lot size is 2.5 acres and the homes would be serviced with private wells <br />and septic systems. One of the lots would require a variance to the lot size standard (Lot 1, Block 4) as it is <br />only 1.37 acres in size. At the time of Sketch Plan review, the Planning Commission has expressed support for <br />this since this land is separated from the rest of the project by existing roadways (Armstrong Boulevard and <br />Tiger Street). <br />We offer the following comments regarding the revised Preliminary Plat submittal for Rum River Prairie as it <br />relates to the City's Zoning Code. The plan set consists of fifteen (15) sheets and were prepared by LHB. <br />Staff provides the following comments that require revision: <br />CO: <br />1. Wetland and wetland setback area must be encumbered with a drainage & utility easement. <br />2. Lot 1 Block 4 primary and secondary septic systems need to have soil borings completed to verify <br />suitable soils are available. <br />3. May require drainage & utility easement over ponding area on the north side of Lot 1 Block 4. This <br />will need to be worked through with the engineering department. <br />L1: <br />1. May need to relocate the proposed trees for Lot 1 Block 4 as they may block the driveway as currently <br />proposed. <br />Preliminary Plat: <br />1. Include trail easement along northern and southern sides of Armstrong Boulevard. <br />2. Remove contours on Preliminary Plat page. <br />3. Revise each lot to remove the Block it is within and simply do one large "Block" text for each of the <br />proposed blocks. <br />4. 2/15/18 Comment - Revise Plat as necessary based on review of possible improvements to 1691h <br />Avenue NW. <br />5. 2/15-18 Comment - Revise Preliminary Plat as necessary based on recommendations and outcomes <br />of the traffic study. <br />
