need to include Outlot E, TOWN CENTER GARDENS 3RD ADDITION in the proposed Plat. The requested Final Plat approval was modified to exclude Outlot E, with a perpetual easement for roadway, drainage, utility, sidewalk, and trail purposes where necessary to facilitate the extension of 147th Lane. Staff finds the request generally acceptable, provided that the title company coordinating the transaction agrees the recording instructions and sequence provided by the City. 21 st Century must agree that the easement will be dedicated as right of way on any future plat or subdivision. Alternatives Alternative #1: The City Council could approve the proposal in its current form, with amendments as requested by the Staff Review File. This will provide the City with a development with current zoning requirements. In addition, the proposed development will bring other effects, such as additional connectivity by the connection of 147th Lane NW and bring fifty (50) workforce housing units. Alternative #2: The City Council could approve the proposal as presented. Staff recommends that the proposal generally conforms with zoning standards; however, additional modifications should be made as a contingency of approval. Without modification, there would be minor non -conforming standards and therefore, Staff does not recommend this alternative (refer to Staff Review File for concerns). Alternative #3: The City Council could deny the request. If this is the preferred action, the City Council would need to draft Findings of Fact to support the denial. There are some positive effects, as noted above, that would be delayed. In addition, the existing infrastructure (roadway and utilities) would continue to go un-utilized, creating some maintenance issues. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat and Site Plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review File and necessary architectural modifications consistent with The COR Design Framework and previous City Council direction (provided as part of the Preliminary Agreement to Develop). Attached to this case are revised architectural renderings. Funding Source: All costs associated with processing the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant. Council Action: Motion # 1 Motion to adopt Resolution #13-02-025 granting Preliminary Plat Approval for SEASONS OF RAMSEY. Motion #2 Motion to adopt Resolution #13-02-031 granting Final Plat Approval for SEASONS OF RAMSEY, subject to the Developer entering into a Development Agreement with the City. Motion #3 Motion to approve the Site Plan for Seasons of Ramsey, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review File dated January 25th, 2013.
