Hakanson Anderson Assoc.,Inc. [nsIneers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects October 27, 1988 Mr. Gerry Zimmerman, Chairman of Planning and Zoning Commission 15153 Nowthen Blvd. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Review of Art Bulow Minor Subdivision Dear Mr. Zimmerman: We have reviewed the above referenced plat and offer the following comments. Lot 1 was created through the extension of Front Street. This lot is approximately 23,000 square feet. Lots 2 and 3 were created by splitting the remaining parcel south of Front Street. All of the lots are currently zoned B-1 Business, but Lots 2 and 3 are proposed as residential. A rezoning action thus is required for Lots 2 and 3. The lot size for Lots 2 and 3 exceed the 20,000 sq. ft. under the city's amended ordinance for residential use in the urban sewered area of the Critical Rivers district. The Ordinance has not received final approvals from DNR or EQB. Lot t exceeds the 20,000 SF size for non-riparian commercial use in the district and exceeds the minimum !or width of 125'. Lots 2 and 3 exceed the minimum lot width of 90' and minimum 20,000 SF requirements for riparian residential lots. The preliminary plat illustrates a 35' R.O.W. (PARK) for the proposed regional trail corridor. This is consistent with the Parks Commission recommendation of 10/20/88. I would point out that Council action on 10/25 reduced the trail right of way width to 20' inclusive of 17' of road right of way on the Ellofson plat immediately west of this plat. it is therefore likely that this land dedication could similarly be reduced and the balance of park requirements would then be paid in fee.
