Final Plat: Ramsey Town Center Addition September 16, 2003, Revised September 19, 2003 Page 2 of 4 4. Lots. The submitted plat sh~ws five lots being created. The approved preliminary plat only allowed for three lots. (Lot 1, Block 1; Lot 1, Block 2, Lot t, Block 3). The final plat shows Lot 1, Block 4 and Lot 1, Block 5, that were not part of the preliminary plat approval. These lots must be removed from the final plat. These lots will need to follow the normal platting procedure. As referenced in the Engineering Department's Review Letter, Lot 1, Block 2 (the temporary Park-and Ride site) should be removed from the plat since the State, City, and the RTC would like to discuss locating the Park and R/de facility in a permanent location.' Lot 1,~Block 1 is located adjacent Ramsey Blvd. and north of the proposed Sunwood Drive and is the proposed location of the P.A.C.T. Charter School. Prior to any development on this lot, a site plan will need to be approved. It is expected that a site plan will be considered in the near future. Lot 1, Block 3 is the existing C.ity well house and is now shown as a lot as directed by the preliminary plat review. Lot 1, Block 3 should now be called Lot 1, Block 2 due to the remox, al of the temporary Park and Ride lot. o Access and Streets. The proposed plat shows right-of-way being created for the major roads contained in the Town Center Plat. Please refer to the Engineering Department's Review Letter for comments related to the street plans. Physical street widths range from 34 feet up to 66 feet wide for two-way traffic. The right-of-ways for these streets range from 50 feet to 90 feet. Street widths for the one- way streets are 27 feet (which includes an eight-foot parking lane) with the right-of- ways going up to 120 feet around the central green corridor. A traffic study was conducted as part of the Town Center AUAR. The street sizes have been created in accordance with the need outlined in the AUAR. Full buildout will require traffic improvements off-site of the Town Center. Specifically, additional thru and turn lanes will need to be constructed on the _County Roads surrounding the Town Center. In addition, traffic signals will need to be installed at the major intersections into the Town Center. Responsibility of the costs for these improvements are currently part of the proposed development agreement. The final plat shows additional right-of-way being created along Ramsey Blvd. in anticipation of a future interchange onto Highway 10. The preliminary plat shows three accesses from Hwy. 116 into the Town Center (Zeolite St., Town Center Dr., and Rhinestone St.). The plat also shows three accesses onto Ramsey Blvd. (East Ramsey ParkWay, Sunwood Drive, and the Civic Center Drive emergency access) and two accesses onto Armstrong Blvd. (Sunwood Drive and West Ramsey Parkway). Staff and the developer have had several meetings with County officials regarding these accesses. During these meetings, County officials have indicated that the accesses shown would be acceptable, but County permits would be needed for the access. Attached is a letter sent by Staff requesting confirmation on the County's position on the road accesses. To date, the City has not received a response from the County. 6. Lot Size and Dimensions. Lot 1, Block 1 is proposed to be 5.35 acres and Lot 1, Block 3 (City well house ) is a 0.29 acre parcel. Both lots exceed the proposed
