Wetlands: There are no wetlands identified on the Subject Property. Streets and Access: It should be noted that 166th Ave NW is an MSA road and that limited entrances onto these roads is often required. Because of this, the minimum density requirement for the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District will not be enforced. The Subject Property currently gains access off Jaspar St NW. The existing dwelling on proposed Lot 3 will continue to gain access off Jaspar St NW. Lot 1 and Lot 2 will gain access off 166t1i Ave NW. Each lot will be limited to one driveway connection that may be no greater than thirty feet (30') at the street. Utilities and Municipal Services: Although no new dwelling units are proposed in these plans, any and all future dwelling units will need to connect to city sewer and water services. This does not include the existing dwelling that is located on proposed Lot 3. Tree Preservation and Landscaping: There are few trees on the Subject Property. Most of the existing trees on the Subject Property are located on proposed Lot 3, with a limited number of existing trees on proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2. If a dwelling is to be built on proposed Lot 2, it appears that trees would need to be removed. The applicant should consider the City of Ramsey's lot landscaping requirements. This is especially applicable to proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2, where few trees are located. This would include the planting of at least two trees per dwelling unit (either overstory deciduous or coniferous trees). Newly planted deciduous trees must be at least one inch (1") in diameter as measured six inches above the ground and coniferous trees must be at least five feet (5') in height. Acceptable plantings shall be determined by the City planting schedule. The compliment of trees fulfilling the landscaping requirements shall not be less than 25 percent deciduous and not less than 25 percent coniferous. It is possible that existing preserved trees may satisfy the lot landscaping requirement, as long as they are not on the City's list of prohibited species. That list can be found here: http://www.ci.ramsey.mn.us/DocumentCenter/View/ 1592/Landscaping-Requirements-PDF.
