Information will. need to be provided regarding the height 'of the structures. City code restricts structure height to 35 feet measured from the mean ground level to the mean ground gable. Open Space. The PUD ordinance stipulates that developments processed as a PUD should provide either 20% public open space (only 50% credit is allowed for wetlands) or 50% private open space (which includes yard' space, street boulevards, and other private common areas). Applying the private open space requirement, the proposed development would need to provide a minimum of 14 acres, of private open space. It would seem appropriate to only credit 50% for the wetlands when calculating private open space area. The preliminary plat is showing a total of 50.2% private open space area. Access and Streets. The development is proposing to connect to Radium Street in Halls Dover Acres to the aord~ and to Potassium Street from the south. Potassium Street is Currently unpaved and will need to be upgraded to an urban section in order to serve this. development and the Rum River Meadows development. Tlat: ct)nstruetion of Potassium Street should be a coordinated project between Shade Tree, National Growth;' ~md tt~c City of Ramsey.
