Case #4 REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF WOOD POND HILLS P.U.D.; CASE OF B.L.H. DEVELOPMENT By: Mark S. Banwart, Community Development Director Background: The proposed P.U.D. has an area of approximately 72 acres and will consist of one hundred thirty- five (135) urban residential lots. The developer is proposing that Lots 2 through 8, Block 4 and Lots 2 through 10, Block 5 would have a minimum width of seventy feet (70') and a minimum lot size of ten thousand (10,000) square feet. The remaining number of lots would meet standard subdivision requirements. The average lot width would be eighty-five feet (85'). The public/private open space is proposed to be 15.3 acres; which is approximately 21% of the overall gross area of the proposed P.U.D. The existing zoning in this area is R-1R Rural Residential District and R-1U Urban Residential District. The proposed land use would be Urban P.U.D. The property is located in the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 26, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota and the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 26, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota and part of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 25, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota and part of the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 25, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota. The P.I.N.'s are 25-32-25-23-000t, 25-32-25-22-0001, 26-32-25-11- 0001 and 26-32-25-14-0001. For your information, the following items are enclosed: B. C. D. Site location map Proposed P.U.D. (received February 7, 1990) City Engineer's Review (February 27, 1990) City Landscape Architect's Review (February 27, 1990) Observations: On February 7, 1990, the City of Ramsey received an application and sketch plan from B.L.H. Development Company for Wood Pond Hills P.U.D. On July 13, I989, the City of Ramsey received MUSA Boundary expansion which included the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 26, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota. A portion of the proposed plat line in the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 26, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota would require a MUSA Boundary expansion to bring this area into the Municipal Urban Service Area and allow it availability to City sewer & water. In addition, as part of the P.U.D. approval process, consideration for rezoning as a P.U.D. would be addressed as a part of the preliminary concept approval stage. It appears that provisions for open space, as far as open space requirement of 20% is concerned, the proposed P.U.D. meets this requirement.
