CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE Date 6/14/19 Project Site 9020 173rd Avenue NW, Ramsey, MN 53033 Project Title Ramsey Woods Escrow # 117011 Department: Community Development: Planning Division (Zoning Code) Technical Reviewer: Name: Elliot Mohler, Planning Intern Phone: (763) 576-4314 Email: emohler@cityoframsey.com The following comments are offered regarding the Sketch Plan and Final Plat, prepared by Hakanson Anderson and dated June 6, 2019: Sketch Plan • Drainage and Utility Easement width adjacent to unplatted parcels (western and southern boundaries of Lots 1 & 2) must be ten (10) feet. Adjust the easement width accordingly. • 173' Ave is classified as a Major Collector in the Comprehensive Plan and is also a designated Minnesota State Aid (MSA) road, which requires a total right-of-way width of eighty (80) feet. Adjust right of way to provide forty (40) feet from centerline. • Existing septic system (tanks and drain field) on Lot 3 must be identified on the Sketch Plan to verify that it will meet minimum setbacks from new property boundaries. • If the primary and secondary septic locations are not where the soil borings were conducted, new borings will be required at the time of permit application for the system. • Due to the higher volumes of traffic currently and expected on 173' Ave (again, an MSA road and a Major Collector), Lots 1 & 2 shall only be permitted a single access per lot. The Plat shall be updated to include restricted access or dedicated access to the City of Ramsey along the right- of-way boundary with the only exception being for the single, permitted access point on Lots 1 and 2.
