CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />DATE <br />MAY 12, 2020 <br />PROJECT ADDRESS <br />TBD <br />PROJECT. TITLE <br />HAMPTON HOMES <br />ESCROW # <br />117171 <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 Hakanson Anderson <br />and dated April 24, 2020: <br />Sheet C16 <br />• Tree Save Fencing must be shown on all grading sheets. Tree Save Fencing shall be installed no <br />closer to a tree or group of trees than the dripline. There shall be no soil disturbance beyond the <br />Tree Save Fence <br />Sheet L1 <br />• Update sheet to specify where sod will be installed and any areas where seed is proposed. <br />• Sod is required within all boulevard areas (at least the first ten [10] feet back from street). <br />• Proposed trees along the western border (density transitioning plantings) need to have some shade <br />tolerance as they will be interspersed with existing tree cover. Consider substituting in other, <br />more shade tolerant species, along this border. <br />• Labels appear to be missing for the trees planted along the private road. Add labels. <br />Sheet L2 <br />• Density Transitioning is required along the northern boundary of the site, which is approximately <br />187 feet in length (requires at least four (4) each of ornamental, evergreen, and overstory trees). <br />Additional plantings must be added to this area. <br />• There is a small, bold circle next to one of the bur oaks along eastern boundary, what does that <br />represent? <br />• The Spring Snow Crabapple and two Austrian Pines between the two northern most four -unit <br />buildings should be relocated elsewhere on site. There is a storm sewer line that will run between <br />these two buildings so it would be best to avoid any potential future conflicts with this <br />infrastructure. <br />Sheet L4 <br />• Four (4) inches of topsoil, with not more than thirty-five percent (35%) sand content, is required <br />over all disturbed areas not otherwise improved with impervious surfacing (e.g. buildings, <br />driveways, walkways, etc.), excluding stormwater ponds. <br />• Irrigation system must include a rain sensor and some form of water efficient technology such as <br />a smart controller. Add this language to Planting Notes. <br />• Change Plant List to specify minimum shrub size at installation is 24 inches in height or width, <br />depending on species growth characteristics. <br />
