Medina Street Loretto, MN 55357 Re: Prelimimtry Plat Review: Ramsey Town Center 3rd Addition Dear Greg: We are in receipt of your preliminary plat entitled Ramsey Town Center 3~° Addition, prepared by URS and dated June 25, 2004. We of£er the following comments: General Layout. The preliminary, plat consists of one block proposed to be subdivided into 2 buildable lots and one outlot. The City has received a site plan application for the first phase of development on Lot 1. The site plan consists of a grocery, store with fuel amenity and car wash, and a second retail building at the comer of Sunwood and Zeolite. The approved sketch plan reflects that ~,vo other commercial buildings fbr retail and restaurant uses will eventually be developed on Lot 1. City, Code Section 9.11.01, Sub& 1, states that there shall not be more than one main building on ~ lot. Three alternatives for consideration are: a) redesio¢i2 the plat to create separate lots tbr each building proposed on Lot 1; b) apply for a variance to develop the lot with more than one main building; c) request an amendment to the Town Center pertb~Tnance standards to provide for multiple buildings on a lot. Lot 2 is proposed for future development with one building ~br retail uses. Outlot A will be developed by Ramsey Town Center LLC as a landscape feature of ~e Ramsey Town Center entrance. Zoning. The property is zoned Town Center Disrr/ct and is located within the TC-2 Sub- District. Lot Size, Width and Depth. There is no minimum lot size Ln the TC-2 district. The minimum lot width is 80 feet and the minimum lot depth is 100 feet. Both lots meet the width requirement; Lot 1 meets the depth requirement: some minor adjustments to the depth o~' Lot 2 will be required to meet the 100/:hot requirement. 25
