Preliminary Plat as proposed by the Developer, using the Net Density calculation as currently adopted by the Metropolitan Council reflecting less than fifteen (15) units per acre, whichincludeslocal rights of way. Alternatives Alternative 1. Adopt Resolution #16-05-119 granting Final Plat approval of The Station. The City Council has approved the Preliminary Plat. The purpose of the Final Plat is to approve final Construction Plans and Final Plat Sheet for recording. Additionally, the proposed plat has been approved twice previously by the City, albeit under a different name and with minor modifications. However, the number of overall units has remained the same (77) each time. The proposed Final Plat appears to be consistent with the intent of The COR, which is to accommodate higher densities than any other zoning district within the city, especially as development gets nearer to the heart of The COR (and the transit station). Staff supports this option. Alternative 2. Adopt Resolution #16-05-119 granting Final Plat approval with additional revisions. This alternative would be based on discussion. Alternative 3. Do not grant Final Plat approval of The Station. The project has received entitlement to the layout by approval of the Preliminary Plat. The Developer appears to have submitted final plans consistent with City requirements, with amendments as outlined in the Staff Review Letter. Additionally, The Planning Commission is generally supportive of the project, with the exception of the density. The Developer has completed quality work in the past and the product will be similar to the townhomes that were a part of Ramsey Town Center 2nd Addition. Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: All costs associated with processing the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant. At this time, there is no request for public assistance. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat, consistent with direction provided by the City Council on May 24 regarding Net Density. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution # 16-05-119 granting approval of the Final Plat for The Station, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter.
