Preliminary Plat Review: Alpine Acres <br />May 16, 2003, revised June 6, 2003 <br />Page 6 of 6 <br /> <br />through the landscape buffer option. The buffer area is required to be a twenty-five (25) foot <br />wide area located along the common boundary. <br /> <br />Tl-fis common boundary is roughly 1,000 feet in length, which would require a minimum of <br />twenty (20) deciduous overstory trees, twenty (20) evergreens, and twenty (2.0) understory trees <br />in the twenty-five foot wide buffer area. The preliminary plat show twenty-one (21) deciduous, <br />overstory trees, twenty (20) evergreens, and twenty (20) understory trees. <br /> <br />There does appear to be seven (7) trees, four (4) Allegheny Serviceberry axnd three (3) River <br />Birch, which do not fall within the designated twenty-five foot buffer strip. However, the <br />location of the said trees provide a nice buffer from an existing single family home to a dedicated <br />public street, 153Td Lane, and therefore staff feels the location of the trees are meeting the <br />intention of the density transitioning ordinance. <br /> <br />According to the current plan, all species used for the density transitioning requirements are <br />considered either acceptable or preferred as outlined in the Ramsey Tree Book. However, there <br />needs to be a larger mix of species to ensure diversity and longevity. The City would like to see <br />at least one additional evergreen species included in these plantings. <br /> <br />Other Permits: The developer is responsible for obtaining any permits required from other <br />regulatory agencies. <br /> <br />The City Council will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10, 2003, at Ramsey Fire Station <br />//2, to review your preliminary t51at. A copy of the case cover sheet is enclosed for your <br />information. I suggest that you, or your representative, be present at the meeting to answer any <br />questions that may arise. If you have any questions or need additional information, please don't <br />hesitate to call us. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br />{~c~'~1~t9'~-,'~'~4~v "~l~rick-~rudge0n, AI~ <br />Assoc~t~P1Enclosu.s ~er Phncipal Pla~er <br /> <br /> Steve Jankowski <br />· City Engineer <br /> <br />Pete Raatikka, P.E. and Brian Johnson <br />Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. <br />3601 Thurston Ave. <br />Anoka, MN 55303 <br /> <br /> <br />
