Final Plat: Amber Ridge 2nd Additi~n January 4, 2007 20f4 Density: The maximum net density allowed in the R-l 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: In accordance with the approved preliminary plat, 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 Grading & Erosion Control Plan confirms that the proposed house pads " will meet all of the required setbacks. . Public Streets and'Access to Lots: In accordance with the approved preliminary plat, the Final Plat proposes to extend the Argon Street cul-de-sac to provide public access to the lots. On July 10, 2006, the Ramsey Board of Adjustment approved a variance to the maximum cul-de-sac length. Traffic Analysis: The traffic generation analysis was presented and reviewed as part of preliminary plat approval. Traffic from this development is anticipated to primarily utilize the TH 47 corridor. There is a study of this corridor, as recent as May of 2005, analyzing the level of service on TH 47 at the intersections including Alpine Drive, Sunwood Drive CSAH 5, and CR 116. All ofthe above intersections, excepting the intersection at CR 116, performed at acceptable levels. Noise Mitigation: MnDOT has indicated that residential land use may not be compatible with highway impacts, notably potential noise complaints. The plat lies adjacent to T.H #47. A six foot wood screening wall has been constructed adjacent to the east right of way ofTH 47 along the length of this proposed subdivision. Drainage and Grading Plan: A grading plan has been prepared by LSJ Engineering Inc. In general, the extended segment of Argon Street and the front halves of the five additional residences are proposed to drain to the existing sedimentation pond located on Outlot A of ' the Amber Ridge subdivision. The rear portions of the lots within the proposed subdivision drain to two flared end drains which are connected to the storm sewer system which drains Argon Street. One of these drains is located on the common line between lots 1 and 2; and the second drain is located 70 feet south of common lot line between lots 3 and 4. A permit for this development has been obtained from the Lower Rum River Water management Organization. The proposed grading plan is generally acceptable, however the following issues need to be addressed:
