City of Ramsey Planning Commission <br />June 6, 2018 <br />Page 2 <br />the two developments to ensure that there is proper transitioning. Without a proper buffer, <br />screening, and transition the significantly higher density allowance for the Riverside Addition <br />will significantly decrease the value of the AKM Farm parcels. AKM Farm would therefore <br />request that the Planning Commission require the appropriate buffer and screening required by <br />the City's Zoning Ordinance in order to preserve the value of the abutting properties and <br />provide for a better transition between developments. <br />In addition to the lack of any buffer zone or transitioning between developments, the proposed <br />preliminary plat for Riverside Addition does not provide for city sewer and water to be stubbed <br />to the edge of the development. Extending the sewer and water through the west side of the <br />proposed development to allow for future development is sound municipal planning. Given <br />that this area of the City is likely to be served by MUSA at some point in the future it defies <br />logic to not provide for the extension of those services at a later date to adjacent <br />developments. Accordingly, AKM Farm requests that the Planning Commission require as a <br />condition to preliminary plat approval that Riverside Addition provide for the extension of <br />sewer and water utilities through the west side of the development as outlined on the enclosed <br />plat map. <br />Please feel free to contact the undersigned with any questions or concerns. <br />Very truly yours, <br />LEONARD, O'BRIEN <br />SPENCER, GALE & SAYRE, LTD. <br />By <br />Patrick J.
