I was wondering if you could provide an overall update regarding the below <br /> project. I also am wondering specifically regarding: <br /> •Expected start date/duration <br /> •Anticipated hours/days of work— I wanted to make sure with the nice weather there is some <br /> balance so we're not hearing construction early in the morning until late at night. <br /> •Sequence of activity if able [one house @ a time, or all three @ once, when is the Noise Barrier <br /> going in etc] <br /> •How traffic/congestion within the cul de sac will be handled during construction, or will <br /> construction vehicles be able to park on the CTY 47 side vs. within the cul de sac? <br /> Thanks! <br /> From: Chloe McGuire Brigl <CMcGuire(@ci.ramsey.mn.us> <br /> Sent:Wednesday,July 8, 2020 8:21 AM <br /> To: Richardx.Bailey<Richardx.Bailey(@target.com> <br /> Cc: 'rjeol3@gmail.com' <rjeol3(@gmail.com> <br /> Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Project 20-117 <br /> This Rick— <br /> Thanks for your email.There is an agenda item for this project here, which you may find helpful. It <br /> answers a lot of your questions. But I'll also answer them specifically below. <br /> •Noise: Staff has recommended a noise barrier along 47 included in the next step. <br /> *Traffic: I will request that something is considered to this end with the preliminary plat <br /> submittal. Likely this number of homes is not enough to trigger a traffic study, but we could <br /> request a stacking diagram to ensure that the cul-de-sac functions properly. Staff has <br /> recommended a reduction in the number of homes from 4 to 3, which may help alleviate <br /> some of your concerns in terms of morning traffic. <br /> •Home Type: Proposed at this time are 4 detached villa (single family) patio homes.The grading <br /> plan isn't completed yet, but the engineer for the project indicated that it is likely one or two <br /> of the homes will have basements to help accommodate the sloping onsite.The homes will <br /> be held to the same standards as a home like yours in terms of height, building materials, <br /> etc.These are not multi-unit properties—but instead single family homes on slightly smaller <br /> lots. <br /> •Is the final review/approval something that citizens have a vote regarding:Short answer is <br /> no. Development projects like this are reviewed by Staff, then they are reviewed by the <br /> Planning Commission (Thursday's meeting)who makes a recommendation to the City <br /> Council. The City Council makes the final decision. For a project like this where the zoning <br /> isn't changing, if the project meets all of our standards, we approve it.This site is zoned for <br /> R-2 residential and guided for Medium Density Residential (4-7 units per acre) which is <br /> typically attached townhomes or detached villas. <br /> •Is this city owned property or privately held: Privately held. <br /> •What is the timing of the development:We are in the first stage of the project, and the <br /> project has no approvals yet. Land is subdivided through a three step process: <br /> 1.Sketch Plan (this step)—high level drawing so the City can identify red flags, and <br />
