Case #11: Iitequest for Final Plat Approval for Town Center Gardens, Case of Brightkeys Development Corporation Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated that Brightkeys Development Corp. has submitted a final plat for the Town Center Garden townhome development. The property is generally located in the northwest corner of County Road 56 (Ramsey Blvd.) and County Road 116 (Industry Blvd.). The total development site consists of 51.91 acres and Brightkeys is proposing to develop a first phase of 108 townhomes. On September 9, 2003, the City Council approved the grading plan for Town Center Gardens and entered into a grading development agreement with Brightkeys. Grading has commenced on the site. Brightkeys is proposing to develop 108 units in their first phase. The approved preliminary plat showed 152 townhome units. The final plat will develop 24 "new urbanist" units in three, eight -unit buildings and 84 "rowhouse" units in six and eight unit buildings. Outlot A and C were previously shown as outlots on the approved preliminary plat and will need to go through the subdivision process (sketch plan, preliminary plat, and final plat) as required under City Code. Outlot B was shown as containing housing units, streets and other improvements on the preliminary plat approved by the City Council. Outlot B must conform to the approved preliminary plat and site plan and must receive final plat approval before further development can occur. In reviewing the street names shown on the plat, Staff will require that the east -west portion of the street labeled as Olivine Street NW. should be renamed 147 Terrace. The north - south portion should remain labeled as Olivine Street NW. Park Dedication fees in the amount of $194,400 and trail development fees in the amount of $51,300 are due as part of the plat. The City is requiring the developer to construct a trail along Ramsey Boulevard up to 149 Avenue A small portion of this trail will be credit eligible. In lieu of a lift or gravity system, between October 2003 and July 2004, the Developer may utilize an alternate temporary holding system that meets the approval of the City Engineer. This temporary holding facility will be the responsibility of the developer to pump daily to prohibit sanitary sewer backups. Any backups that occur as a'result of failure to pump the temporary holding facility will be the developer's responsibility. The system will provide service to residences on pads developed in Town Center Gardens while the main trunk lines for the Ramsey Town Center development are installed.
