5.01: Public Hearing: Request for Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Approval of SEASONS <br />OF RAMSEY Located at the North East Intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard NW <br />and Town Center Drive NW; Case of The Seasons of Ramsey Limited Partnership <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:01 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill presented the staff report. It was noted the applicant is <br />requesting preliminary plat and site plan approval for the 50-unit townhome development named <br />SEASONS OF RAMSEY. The preliminary plat was discussed in detail and staff noted the <br />applicant would be vacating 147th Circle, while extending the right of way connection of 147th <br />Lane NW. The site plan with the private roadways and architectural designs were reviewed and <br />staff noted additional architectural elements were requested from the applicant. Staff <br />recommended approval of the site plan and preliminary plat contingent upon revisions to the front <br />and rear renderings. <br />Citizen Input <br />Bill Kemp, Podawiltz Development Corporation, thanked staff for the presentation this evening. <br />He commented he would be meeting with staff on February 5th to discuss the renderings in further <br />detail. <br />Commissioner Bauer questioned why the renderings were modified from the original plans. <br />Mr. Kemp noted some of the issues were cost related, along with other issues concerning the width <br />of the units. He requested the Commission provide feedback on the desired amenities on the <br />exterior of the units. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the applicant had any other questions or concerns based on the <br />comments made by staff. <br />Mr. Kemp did not have any other concerns on the project. <br />Commissioner Bauer indicated the three -bedroom units had a smaller kitchen than the other units, <br />which was inconsistent with the number of occupants. <br />Mr. Kemp commented the architect would be able to better address this concern. <br />Lonnie Kornovich, Kornovich & Company, explained he has been working on these plans for the <br />past six weeks. He stated he would continue to work with the City to address the site design <br />requirements. <br />
