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 />GARDEN VIEW VILLAS <br />ESCROW # <br />117177 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Planning Division (Landscape Plan & Environmental Resources) <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />Name: Chris Anderson <br />Phone: 763-433-9817 <br />Email: cnderson@cityoframsey.com <br />We offer the following comments regarding the Landscape and Tree Preservation Plans, prepared by <br />Landform and dated May 4, 2020: <br />Sheet Ll <br />• Sod is required within all boulevard areas. <br />• Use of seed elsewhere in project area requires City Council approval. <br />• There is a Yellow Birch that needs to be shifted outside the wetland setback area. There is to be <br />no disturbance within the wetland setback. <br />• The Canopy Cover Calculation may need to be updated. It should not include the outlot area nor <br />the portion of the site 'set aside' for possible future development. If those areas are included in <br />the calculation, please omit and recalculate. <br />• Add column to Plant Schedule for total square footage per species. <br />• The General Note stating that builders are responsible for the landscaping must be amended. <br />Trees within the front yard and boulevard area can be planted by individual builders, but <br />perimeter plantings (including rear yards and side yards for certain lots) shall be the responsibility <br />of the developer. The plantings per lot vary too greatly, which will create confusion for <br />individual buildings (unless there will be a single, exclusive builder for the entire project). <br />• Developer shall also be responsible for any plantings within the outlot. <br />• A DED resistant cultivar of American Elm should be used. <br />
