Andover, MN 55304 Re: Preliminary Plat — Amber Ridge 2 " Addition Dear Mr. Olson: 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW • Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 City Hall: (763) 427 -1410 • Fax: (763) 427 -5543 www.ci.ramsey.mn.us We are in receipt of your revised preliminary plat submittal for Amber Ridge 2 Addition consisting of the following sheets: Preliminary Plat, Preliminary Utility Plan, Preliminary Grading & Tree Planting Plan, and Drainage Area Map, prepared by LSJ Engineering, Inc., dated May 15, 2006; revised July 18, 2006; and the Tree Preservation Plan prepared by Pioneer Engineering, dated May 15, 2006 (no revision date supplied). We offer the following comments: General: The preliminary plat proposes to replat Outlot B, Amber Ridge into 5 single family urban lots and one outlot. The property is approximately 2.2 acres in size. Zoning: The property is zoned R -2 Medium Density Residential and single family homes are not a permitted use in this zoning district. The preliminary plat submittal included an application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the land use from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential; a rezoning application to change the zoning from R -2 Residential to R -1 Residential. Density: The maximum net density allowed in the R -1 MUSA district is 3 units per acre for single family homes. The net density is approximately 2.2 units per acre. Lot Dimensions and Area: All proposed lots meet the requirement for 80 feet of frontage on a public road, either at the road right -of -way or the building setback line. All of the lots exceed the 10,800 square foot minimum required by City Code. Setbacks: The Preliminary Grading Plan reflects that all of the proposed house pads will meet the 30 foot front and rear yard setbacks, the 10 foot side yard for habitable space, and the 6 foot side yard for inhabitable space. -
