The property is zoned R-1 Residential' and is located in the Rural Developing Area. The proposed major subdivision is a rep[at of the Kroger homestead that will create five lots that are ail over the required minimum lot size of 2.5 acres. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Preliminary Plat c) City StaJSrreview letter dated August 29, 2002 Notification: State statute requires notification of preliminary plat public hearing to owners of property located within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify property owners within 700 feet of the subject property. Observations: Darrel Kruger owns a 27.01-acre parcel on Ramsey Blvd. south of 159th Lane NW. The developer, Wurm-Paumen Properties, LLC, is applying for a major subdivision that proposes five new lots, all of which are larger than the 2.5-acre minimum required in the R-1, Rural Developing Area. The ex/sting homestead is located on proposed Lot 5 and the structure will remain after the other lots are developed. Lot 5 also contains a second dwelling unit that will be removed as part of the development. The plat also conta/ns Outlot A, which is located across Ramsey Blvd. from the main tract. The outlot is entirely wetland. Wurm-Paumen Properties, LLC is proposing to emend 158~' Lane NW into the Parcel to provide access to four of the lots. Due to the substantial amount of wetland on the property, Lot 1 will require access from Country Road 56. The property is also subject to the Ramsey Park and Trail Plan and will be required to dedicate a 75-ft. trail corridor connecting Central Park and Elm Crest Park. A revised preliminary plat was submitted that shows the trail corridor. The exact area of the trail will need to be verified before the Park Commission can draft a formal Park Dedication recommendation.
