Horton. The first phase, <br />Ramsey Town Center 2'~'~ Addition, contains back-to-back townhome units as well as rowhouse <br />style townhome units. It was determined by staff and the Planning Commission that the Town <br />Center Zoning Code does not adequately anticipate these types of units in regards to measuring <br />front yard setbacks and driveway lengths. In reviewing the preliminary plat of Ramsey Town <br />Center 2''d Addition, the Planning Commission and City Council indicated that they were <br />comfortable with the subdivision as shown but wanted variances or amendments to the Town <br />Center Zoning District to rectify the discrepancies on what was being proposed in the <br />development and what is contained in the Zoning Code. Staff is proposing language to the Town <br />Center Zoning District to clarify how the front yard setback is measured, to allow for a greater <br />fi'ont yard setback for certain types of attached residential units, and requiring 25-foot long <br />driveways roi' all residential units unless certain criteria are met. All of the proposed <br />amendments are consistent with what the Planning Commission and City Council preliminarily <br />approved as part of Ramsey Town Center 2nd Addition. <br /> <br />Councihnember Pearson commented he attended the Planning and Zoning meeting regarding <br />these amendments and they did a thorough job. <br /> <br />Motion by Councihnember Pearson, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to introduce an <br />ordinance amending setback regulations to the Town Center Zoning District. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Pearson, Kurak, Cook, Elvig, <br />Strommcn, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />City Council/March 23, 2004 <br /> Page 17 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
