DATE CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE APRIL 17, PROJECT NORTH AND SOUTH OF ARMSTRONG STREET ADDRESS AND WEST OF TIGER STREET NW 2018 PROJECT. TITLE RUM RIVER PRAIRIE: FINAL PLAT ESCROW # 115968 DEPARTMENT: Community Development: Planning Division Name: Eric Maass, Consultant Planner TECHNICAL REVIEWER: Phone: 763-576-4306 Email: EMaassna,wsbeng.com Final Plat Submittal Review The proposed subdivision would create twenty-five (25) new single family residential lots in the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) District. We offer the following comments regarding the revised Final Plat submittal for Rum River Prairie as it relates to the City's Zoning Code. The plan set consists of fifteen (15) sheets and were prepared by LHB. Staff provides the following comments that require revision: Final Plat: 1. Identify and show public road easement over southwest corner of Lot 1 Block 4. 2. Update drainage and utility easements over all lots to be consistent with the updated Rum River Prairie Preliminary Plat. Staff provides the following comments for general review of applications: General. The Final Plat proposes re -platting two parcels, PID No. 07-32-25-14-0001 and 07-32-25-13-0001 (together, the "Subject Property"), one of which is bisected by Armstrong Boulevard, into twenty-five (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. Lot Sizes. The minimum lot size in the R-1 Rural Developing District is 2.5 acres with a minimum lot width of 200 feet, measured at the building setback line. The lots being proposed range in size from 1.37 acres to 3.7 acres in size with all but one of the lots being 2.5 acres or greater in size. A variance to the lot area requirement was approved by the Planning Commission for Lot 1 Block 4 of the proposed plat as 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. One of the lots would require a variance to the lot size standard (Lot 1, Block 4) as it is only 1.37 acres in size. At the time of Sketch Plan review, the Planning Commission has expressed support for this since this land is separated from the rest of the project by existing roadways (Armstrong Boulevard and Tiger Street).
