Lot 1 will also gain one access point from 145t~ Avenue. Staff is requesting that right of access along Sunwood Drive and P,.hinestone Street be dedicated to the City' with this plat. The access shown on the plans will be the ordy · access allowed from Sunwood Drive to serve the parcel currently known as Outlot EE. A shared access and cross-parking easement will be required for the two lots. -244- lo) it) The plans catl om sidewalk installed by others on Sunwood Drive and Peridot Street. The Ramsey Town Center LLC is installing temporary., walk' along these streets. The walk will need to be removed to allow construction of the building. The developer will need to construct the permanent sidewalk and include' the adjacent streetscape elements. identified in the master development plan. The streetscape elements include light posts, trees and irrigation. Detail on these elements will need to be included in the plans. Construction of 147 Avenue will need to be completed as part of the site development. Setback and Street Platting: The site pian is proposing to develop a two ,tory building that will have a zero lot line setback along Sunwood Drive. The preliminary plat for Sunwood Drive shows 9 feet from the back of curb to the property line. The streetscape plan that has been established for Sunwood Drive will include boulevard trees and street lights within the sidewalk section. After review of the streetscape plans for Sunwood Drive by the Cib"s Public Works department, it was determined that 1! feet will be needed from back of curb to the property line in order to allow for snow removal equipment to safely operate between the buildings and the boulevard ta'ees. This results in a need to shift the proposed building along Sunwood Dr'ire two feet to the north. Staff has discussed this issue with the Applicant and they have ageed to move. the building and provide a 2 foOt drainage and utility easement along the southern property line. The applicant is unable to shrink the building as they have already made the building as small as the could on the site and the fact that building material has been ordered.' Given these factors, Staff ~inds a lesser right-of-way for I47 Ave is acceptable. The right-of-way will be 58 feet instead of the normal 60 feet. The road will still be 36 feet wide and comain a sidewalk. 147 Ave. will abut Town Center South Park and the 2 feet of right of way will be deducted on the border of 145th Ave. and South Park. The Board of Adjustment will need to approve a varlance for the lesser right-of-way at their July 1, 2004 meeting. The need for a variance was discussed with the Planning Commission at their June 17~' Special Meeting. Storm FFater Mm~agement Fee.
