Minnesota 55044 (612) 469 -3881 October 23, 1980 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 Re: Pondvale Estates Revised Preliminary Plat Dear Council Members: We have reviewed the above referenced revised preliminary plat and the accompanying construction plans. The initial preliminary plat was approved by the Council on June 12, 1979. However, due to the length of time which elapsed since the approval of the plat, the developer was required by city code to resubmit a preliminary plat. Following is a list of comments resulting from our review of the plat: 1) The proposed outlot has been deleted and added to Lot 7, Block 2. 2) In review of the street layout 149th Lane N.W. is proposed to be platted as a cul -de -sac. This results in cul -de -sac length in excess of 1000 feet. The ordinance in effect at the time this plat was resubmitted limits cul- de -sac lengths to 600 feet. At the time of the approval of the initial preliminary plat the City Council requested that this street he extended to CSAH 5. However, following that approval the Anoka County Engineer stated he would not allow that access due to poor sight distance. Consequently, the City Council rescinded its action on June 12, 1979, and approved the preliminary plat with the cul -de -sac on July 23, 1979. 3. Street names on the plat have been revised to conform with existing City street names. 4. The developer has had soil borings completed which indicate that the soils are suitable for on -site sewer disposal systems. It should be noted that development of the plat should be restricted to one dwelling per acre until sanitary sewer is available. A plan should be provided showing which lots will be developed and adequate restrictions as determined by the City Attorney should be placed on the unbuildable lots. 5. In review of the street plans we find that they are in conformance with City standards with the exception of the cul -de -sac radii and the intersection radii which are to be 50 feet and 20 feet respectively. The developer did not submit any specifications with the plans. cMI • municipal • planning • environmental • land surveying • geotechnics • waste treatment
