Memo to the Planning Commission/P96-12 Page 2 November 26, 1996 • At this time, the city is in the process of grading that portion of Outlot A intended for a four-field ballfield complex along with the associated parking. This area is scheduled to be graded, topsoiled and seeded sometime in 1997, as well as making other improvements to allow for the use of the fields in 1998. Overview The entire property is located outside of the city's urban service boundary. The current zoning on the property is Ria (Single Family Residential) which requires a minimum lot size of 2-1/2 acres. There is also a lot width requirement of 160 feet. There is a relatively large wetland complex which bisects the property in a northeast to southwest direction. This wetland complex creates some natural boundaries for the recreational fields, the residential area, and the area intended for spreading of sludge. The property is primarily vacant with little if any vegetation. The property was previously used for agricultural purposes. • The property is bordered on the north by 165th Avenue and on the east by Jarvis Street. These two roadways are shown in the draft transportation plan as ultimately becoming a collector and minor arterial, respectively. Therefore, the plat illustrates along 165th Avenue 50 feet of half right of way for the anticipated 100 feet of right of way and 66 feet for the west half of Jarvis Street. The additional right of way for Jarvis will need to come from property within the City of Ramsey since this road is along the city limits. Jarvis Street is currently planned to be north-south roadway beginning at Highway 10 and extending north through the eastern third of the city connecting ultimately with County Road No.'s 12 and 13. The alignment of Jarvis Street is planned to curve slightly to the west as it extends north of 165th Avenue. This alignment will be consistent with Fillmore Street (see attachment). Residential Lots There are six residential lots proposed as part of the plat. Four of the lots are slightly larger than three acres in size, with the other two lots being 7.5 acres and 15.22 acres, respectively. All of the lot sizes have some wetlands included as part of them; however, all of the lots have at least an acre and one-half of buildable property which is suitable for a house location, primary and secondary septic system and a well location. All of the lots satisfy the • minimum frontage requirement of 160 feet. Staff will be recommending one s:\planning\pc\96-12x.doc
