will be encumbered by a 16.5 foot easement. The City of Ramsey can require as-builts with any new home that is built in the City. Based on the sensitive environmental nature and potential increase to insurance associated with owning a property by the floodplain, Staff will require as-builts for all of these sensitive lots. • Utilities: The City is working with Bolton and Menk on an Infrastructure Study for the general planning area of Trott Brook North, north of the Brook, and between Variolite St and Nowthen Blvd. The Infrastructure Study shows that in order to serve the areas guided for City Utilities (within the MUSA), they will largely need to come through this site from the South. This property will then serve adjacent properties, such as North Brook Meadows. The City can require utility connections when land subdivides at urban scales (e.g. quarter acre lots). The City cannot force a private property owner to connect to City utilities, even if they are put in the road in front of their home. This right is protected in the City Charter. • Sidewalks and Trails: The City requires a sidewalk on one side of each public street. Additionally, the City will require a trail along 173rd Avenue. Additionally, there will need to be a pedestrian crossing on 173rd Avenue. • Roads:173rd Avenue will need to be upgraded to a full public road as part of this project. The Applicant is working with the Applicant to the north coordinating on this item. It is likely that there will be a cost -share agreement outlined as part of road project, which will be discussed with the Applicants and City Council at a future date. This road must be upgraded as part of this project, in order to properly serve the new residents. • Lot Sizes and Alignments: All of the proposed lots are 80 foot wide lots. Parks The Application includes dedication of park land and historic barn buildings in the northeast comer of the site. The City is excited at the opportunity to bring a larger public park to this area through the dedication of land and buildings, as well as the ability to protect the historic buildings and pay homage to the history of the property. The Applicant is proposing to dedicate 10.8 acres of fully buildable land, and 4.3 acres of land underneath an electric transmission line for the park. Land under the electric transmission lines will likely be used for parking, while the remainder of the land shall be used for other park amenities. The historic buildings will remain on the property.
