CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />DATE <br />JUNE 12, 2019 <br />PROJECT ADDRESS <br />l BD <br />NAME BRAND STORAGE <br />PROJECT. TITLE <br />ESCROW # <br />117008 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Planning Division (Landscape Plan & Environmental Resources) <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />Name: Chris Anderson <br />Phone: 763-433-9817 <br />Email: canderson@cityoframsey.com <br />We offer the following comments regarding the civil engineering plans prepared by Bogart, Pederson $ <br />Associates, Inc., dated June 6, 2019: <br />Sheet Ll <br />• Add Tree Inventory data to this sheet or a separate plan sheet. Must include, at a minimum, <br />species, DBH, condition, status (save/remove), and if remove, add a comment as to why (e.g. <br />general grading, stormwater pond, etc.). Must also provide tallies of total significant tree DBH <br />on site, significant tree DBH removed, and significant tree DBH saved. <br />• Landscape Planting Notes condition #3 appears to be a combination of two separate notes. <br />Separate these two notes and specify that minimum shrub size at time of installation shall be 24 <br />inches in height or width, depending on species growth characteristics. <br />• Sod is required within all boulevard areas (at least the first ten [10] feet back from street). Use of <br />seed/hydro seed in all other areas requires approval of City Council. <br />• Four (4) inches of topsoil, with no more than 35% sand content, is required across all disturbed <br />areas not otherwise improved with impervious surfacing. <br />• If an irrigation system is installed, a permit is required and the system must be equipped with both <br />a rain sensor and some form of water efficient technology, such as a smart controller. <br />• In the northern corner, the sod/hydro seed appear to stop short of the boundary. What is planned <br />for this area in terms of vegetation? It must be reflected on the plan. <br />• Two trees on the western boundary are shown to be saved. However, the placement of the chain <br />link fence will likely require removal of one tree and the proposed grading will require the <br />removal of the other tree. Both of these trees should be removed and replaced with new <br />plantings. <br />Sheet C9 <br />• Update Tree Planting Detail to state that top 1/3 of wire basket shall be removed. <br />• Add note to Tree Planting Detail that the first set of primary roots shall be at finished grade. The <br />burlap may need to be opened to remove soil to expose primary roots. <br />
