Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br />City H~I: (763) 427-1410 · Fax: (763) 427-5543 <br />www. ci.ramsey.mn.us <br /> <br />October 28, 2005 <br /> <br />Gene Shellerud <br />OM Land Company, Inc. <br />7721 145t" Street <br />Apple Valley MiN' 55124 <br /> <br />Re: Preliminary Plat - The Meadow <br /> <br />88 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Shellerud: <br /> <br />We are in receipt of your preliminary, plat for The Meadow consisting .of eleven (11) sheets <br />prepared by Pioneer Engineering dated 9/30/2005. We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The subject property is generally located in the southeast quadrant of Nowthen Blvd. <br />and Alpine Drive. The plat consists of approximately 50 acres and is proposing to create a total <br />of 49 new single-family lots, replat 3 existing homesteads, reconfigure the northwest commercial <br />comer, and preserve 2 future sites for public/quasi-public uses. The plat includes the City Hail <br />campus, 3 existing residences and the commercial comer at Nowthen Blvd. and Alpine Drive. <br /> <br />Zoning: The property has several different zoning classifications: the Dental Office lot on the <br />comer is zoned B-1 Business, the City Hall campus is zoned Public/Quasi-Public, and the lots to <br />the south are zoned R-1 Residential. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning are <br />being considered along with preliminary plat review. <br /> <br />Lot Sizes: The current minimum lot size in the R-I MUSA is I0,800 square feet. Lots I0-18 and <br />Lot 21 of Block 1 are smaller than this minimum. These deviations are permitted if the request <br />for rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) is approved. It should be noted that ali of the <br />proposed lots that border the existing lots to the east meet the m/n/mm lot size requirement. <br /> <br />Density: The R-1 Residential regulations for the MUSA area allow a net density of 3 units per <br />acre. The residential portion of the plat (49 new lots and 3 existing residential lots) consists of <br />approximately 22 acres. The gross density for the residential section of the project is <br />approximately 2.4 units per acre. Net density is typically calculated as the total 131at area minus <br />any wetlands on the site, divided by the total number of residential units. Because there are no <br />wetlands on the site, the net density will be the same as the gross density for this project. <br /> <br /> <br />
