-112- 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW · Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 City Hall: (763) 427-1410 · Fax: (763) 427-5543 www.ci.ramsey.mn.us March 21, 2003 John Peterson Oakwood Land Development, Inc. 1611 Hwy. #10 N.E. Spring Lake Park, MN 55432 Re: Final Plat Review: Wildlife Sanctuary 3rd Addition Dear Johnl We are in receipt of your proposed fmal plat to develop single-family, urban residential lots in Ramsey. The final plat submittal consists of sheets C1-C9, all dated 10/2/02, revised 3/18/03; all prepared by Passe Engineering. We offer the following comments: General: The subject property is approximately 23.7 acres in size and is generally located west of T.H. #47 and north of Alpine Drive N.W. In accordance with Staff's recommendations at the time of preliminary plat approval, the twvo existing homes in the southeast comer of the plan are being included in the final plat. The 'final plat is now a replat of 4 existing homesteads into 3 existing homesteads and 45 new urban single family lots for development. Sheet C1 of the Construction Plans notes that there are 46 lots. It should be corrected to identify a total of 48 lots (with 45 for development). Outlot A is preserving a future street corridor to access Lots I and 2 of Block 1 if and when they are replatted to their ultimate urban density, thereby eliminating the need for another access onto Alpine Street N.W. The Development Agreement will require that this outlot be deeded to the City at no cost if and when Lots 1 and 2 of Block 1 resubdivide. Outl0t B is a remnant to be replatted into a developable lot when the property to the West.subdivides to its ultimate urban density. Final Plat Sheet: 153rd Avenue N.W. should be changed to Alpine Drive N.W. Per previous discussions with the Parks and Utility Supervisor, a portion of the area north of the plat, currently Platted as Outlot C, Wildlife Sanctuary 2~~ Addition, was to be included in the plat as an outlot and deeded to the City of Ramsey to Protect the wetlands. That requirement has not been met and the final plat should be modified accordingly. 3. Zoning: The property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundarY and is currently zoned R-1 Residential. The plat as proposed is a permitted use of the property.
