Preliminary Plat Review: Summerset ~kleadows <br />September 30, 2005 <br />Page 7 of 8 <br /> · Each lot in the single family portions of the development should have two (2) <br /> trees installed. A few lots on 148~h Court do not appear to have any trees. Please <br /> verify that each single family lot will receive at least two (2) shade trees. <br /> · Plantings within the boulevard area and center median must be coordinated with <br /> the City's Engineering Department to avoid conflicts with utilities. <br /> · Shrub species should be included in the planting schedule. <br /> · No tree should be installed within thirty-five (35)' feet of the back of curb of any <br /> intersecting street. <br /> ° No tree should be installed within fifteen (15) feet ora hydrant. <br /> <br />A revised lands, caping plan must be submitted that addresses the above stated concerns. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation Plan: A tree preservation plan has been submitted that identifies <br />existing tree cover and which trees will be removed, relocated, and preserved. Roughly <br />forty percent (40%) of the existing tree cover will remain, which does include trees being <br />relocated on site. The tree preservation plan as submitted is acceptable. As was <br />mentioned in the landscaping discussion, some of the trees slated for relocation are <br />tabbed as elms. If any are Siberian Elms, they should be removed, not relocated, as these <br />are considered prohibited species for planting in the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Tree save fencing is required around all trees or groups of trees to be )reserved. The <br />fencing shall include, at a minimum, the entire area beneath the tree canopy, which is <br />known as the critical root zone. No construction activity whatsoever may occur within <br />these areas. Moreover, no construction shall begin until this fencing has been installed <br />and approved by the City. <br /> <br />Site Plan-General: Summerset Meadows proposes to create 154 small-lot single-family <br />lots, 274 Village Row Homes, 178 Courthomes. The single-family lots will be located on <br />an average of 61-foot wide' lots. These lots will be located' in' two areas, one in the <br />northwest part of the development and South of Alpine Drive. The second area of single- <br />family lots will located in the center of the development, bacldng up to the wetlands. It <br />should be noted that it is the desire of the City that lots which back up to Metropolitan <br />State Aid (MSA) roads are required to have a uniform fence along the property line. This <br />applies to Lots 1-7, Block 1 and Lot 16, Block 4. <br /> <br />The toxvnhome units will gain most of their access from private roads. The minimum <br />standard private road width is 24' feet. Summerset Meadows meets this standard. <br />Townhomes are required to have at least a 25' length, driveway. All of the driveways will <br />need to meet this standard. It should be noted that the R-2 Zoning District, a townhome <br />building can contain a maximum of 10 units per building. Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, Block 7 contain <br />12-unit buildings. This deviation from code will be required to have approval as part of <br />the PUD requesL <br /> <br />164 <br /> <br /> <br />
