Density: The total development property contains 29:07 acres. Of that amount, 0.23 acres are wetlands. The net density of the whole property is 3.98'units per acre. The City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan designates this farea for iow density single family residential development not to exceed a net density of 3 units per acre or up to 4 units per net' acre if townhomes are proposed as part of a planned Unit Development (PUD).

The subdivision will generate 1,168 trips in a 24-hour period (584 entering and 584 exiting) vehicle trips daityl The majority of these trips will be handled by Sunwood Drive going eastbound and Westbound. The two connections to local streets (Tungsten Way and 146t~ Ave.) will see little traffic impact. For example, the intersection of TUngsten Way and 1454 Ave. handles 13 vehicles during the peak morning hour. The development will increase: the peak morning hour traffic by an additional 6 vehicleS. During the afternoon peak hour, 28 vehicles travel through the intersection. This subdivision'will add an additional 6 vehicles during the afternoon peak hour. The intersection of 146th and Potassium. currently handle 25 and 30 vehicles in the morning and afternoon peak hours respectively. The proposed subdivision would add 9 and 12 vehicle trips through the intersection during the morning-and afternoon peak hours' ' respectively. : .
