We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />by caine <br /> <br />General: The proposed minor subdivision is a replat of the Schelkoph homestead that wilt <br />create two lots. Proposed Lot 1 is approximately 2.11 acres, and Proposed Lot 2 is approximately <br />2.60 acres. The main homestead is on proposed Lot 2 and wilI remain after subdivision. <br /> <br />Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Residential and is located in the Central Rural Reserve Area. <br /> <br />Lot Sizes and Density: The current minimum lot size in the R-1 Central Rural Reserve Area is <br />I0 acres and minimum density is 4 units per 40 acres. The Board of Adjustment granted the <br />applicant a variance to both requirements at its. August 29, 2002 meeting. <br /> <br />Lot Dimensions: Both proposed lots contain more than 200 feet of frontage on a publi'c road. A <br />resubdivision plan has been submitted showing'a potential lot con:figuration that meets current <br />city standards, should sewer and water be extended to the site at some point in the future. <br /> <br />Wetlands: A substantial portion of the property is wetland. Wetlands are-delineated on the final <br />plat and encumbered with a drainage and utility easement. <br /> <br />Drainage: A drainage and grading plan will not be required since no substantial grading is <br />anticipated to accommodate' one additional residence on Lot 1. However,. the property owner. <br />must take responsibility for ensuring proper drainage away from the structure. <br /> <br />Access to Lots: Both lots are proposed to gain access from 153ra Avenue NW at Ramsey Blvd'. <br />The submitted final plat shows access to Ramsey Blvd. dedicated to Anoka County. <br /> <br />Utilities: All lots will be served by on-site sewer and water. Lot 1 is comprised largely of <br />Hubbard coarse sands, and sufficient areas of this soil. will allow for an original and replacement <br />soil absorption field. Lot 2 has been investigated by Art Dorm, licensed septic designer. His <br />investigation concludes that a replacement system is feasible north of the existing system on Lot <br />2. <br /> <br />-165- <br /> <br /> <br />
