FINAL PLAT - RAMSGATE TOWNHOMES
Council Report CR 91 -270
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve
Resolution 91 -152 approving the final plat for the Ramsgate
2nd Addition.
The Zoning and Planning Commission unanimously approved
Resolution RZ91 -24 recommending approval of the final plat
for Ramsgate 2nd Addition.
Overview.
The preliminary plat for the Ramsgate Townhomes was approved
on August 20, 1991. The Ordinance requires that within six
months of approval of the preliminary plat the applicant
shall submit the final plat for approval. The applicant has
submitted the final plat for approval.
The plat indicates that the south part of the site will be
an outlot. This outlot will have a parking area and will be
unbuildable as long as it is an outlot.
The plat shows that 17 feet of right -of -way will be
dedicated for right -of -way for Hiawatha Avenue. There
currently is only 7 feet of right -of -way on the west side of
the road, this additional 10 feet of right -of -way will
expand the overall right -of -way of Hiawatha from 40 feet to
50 feet. If Hiawatha is expanded in the future, the
additional right -of -way will allow for a wider road. The
right -of -way for Cambridge will remain unchanged.
The staff reviewed the applicant's request with the
Commission. Chris Hayhoe, representing the applicant
appeared before the Commission to answer any questions
regarding the final plat. Mr. Pavelka stated that this was
not a public hearing, but he would allow the audience to
speak regarding the final plat. There was very little
discussion on this matter.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o What are the specifics of the plat?
o Has the final plat changed from the preliminary
plat?
o What were the City Engineer's comments?

o What are the specifics of the plat?
The plat indicates that 17 feet of land will be dedicated
for right -of -way purposes for Hiawatha Avenue which is 10
feet more than presently exists. The right -of -way for
increased Avenue will be ncreased overall from 40 to 50
feet. The right -of -way for Cambridge Street is 60.80 feet,
which is the current right -of -way. The south side of the
lot will be an outlot used for overflow parking for the
proposed townhomes and the adjacent apartments. The
proposed townhomes will be constructed on Block 1.
o Has the final plat changes from the preliminary plat?
The final plat has changed slightly from the preliminary
plat when the number of townhomes was reduced from 13 to 12.
A townhome was eliminated in order to make the holding pond
larger which reduced the size of the outlot. The site plan
was changed at this time but not the preliminary plat. The
final plat reflects the smaller outlot, which was the size
of the outlot approved by the City Council on the final site
plan. Specifically the outlot's north lot line was moved 28
feet to the south to accommodate the larger holding pond.
o What were the City Engineer's comments?
The City Engineer reviewed the plat and noted that the
holding pond should be recorded on the plat as an easement
and also a 10 foot drainage and utility easement parallel to
Hiawatha. The applicant has been notified of the
additional easements. The 10 foot drainage /utility easement
and the holding pond easement have been added.
Alternatives.
1. Recommend approval of the final plat. By approving the
final plat, the applicant will be able to file the plat
with Hennepin County.
2. Recommend denial of the final plat. If the City
Council denies the final plat, the City Council will
have to state findings of fact that support the denial.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council
indicates that further information is needed, the item
should be continued.
