<br />tI <br /> <br />tit <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />City of A..rden Hills <br />4364 W. Round Lake Road <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />Subject: Preliminary Plat <br /> <br />Request <br />Approval of the submitted preliminary plat consisting of two (2) parcels on a 1.22-acre parcel <br />zoned RI. <br /> <br />Backeround <br />This 1.22-acre parcel currently contains one (1) single family home and also a special use permit <br />to operate a seasonal business. We would like to subdivide the property to create two (2) platted <br />lots. The second parcel would include fourteen (14) feet on Hamline Ave for access. <br /> <br />This 1.22-acre parcel can be platted to exceed minimlUlllot sizes and setbacks. Each parcel <br />would be more than Y, acre in size. The existing terrain of this parcel provides for natural <br />drainage without affecting surrounding properties, and only minimal grading would be needed. <br />An easement would be established to share the same ingress/egress on Hamline A venue, but the <br />driveways would then separate to access each parcel. <br /> <br />The city or county would not have any responsibility beyond the property line on Hamline <br />Avenue. Water and sewer can be placed in the fourteen (14) feet for parcel two (2); however, <br />there will be a five (5) foot utility and drainage easement along the south side of parcel one (I) as <br />well. Plowe Engineering thought a directional bore could be made under Hamline A venue to <br />access the sanitary sewer, eliminating the need to excavate across Hamline, Ramsey County will <br />reqnire that an application be made and approved prior to any excavation. <br /> <br />Because of the large trees and shrubs on this parcel and the neighboring lots, it would be difficult <br />to even see the new home from the neighboring homes. <br /> <br />We appreciate your thoughtful review, and want you to know upon approval and development of <br />this plat, we would discontinue operating Arden Hills Nursery on this property. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Tom and Kathy Goserud <br />
