Case of Sharp <br />and Associates <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained this final site plan complies <br />with the preliminary site plan approved by the City Council on June 22, 2004, with respect to <br />Floor Area Ratio, setbacks, parking, and landscaping requirements. The proposed development <br />also meets the Public Realm/Streetscape, Site Development, and Architecture standards <br />established in the draft Town Center Development Guidelines. The grading, drainage, and utility <br />plans will need to be revised in accordance with the Staff Review Letter dated July 23, 2004. <br />The revised landscaping plan is acceptable. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon advised there have been some corrections <br />made to the development permit. The contract will be between NAU and the City, rather than <br />Mr. Sharp and the City. The other correction relates to the area outside of the development being <br />constructed by RTC, namely 145th Avenue. That is now in a separate development agreement. <br />He noted Mr. Sharp would like to start this project as soon as possible. Typically several things <br />are required to begin, which are the plat being required, signage, and payments of fees and <br /> <br />escrows. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich advised there is also a need for an allocation agreement between Ramsey <br />Town Center and the developer and an escrow agreement. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained it may take some time to <br />accomplish all these things. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich advised the Council should be careful not to set a precedent. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon advised in the past projects have been <br />allowed to begin as long as certain standards have been met, such as the development agreement <br />being signed, a letter of credit, as well as the payment of inspection fees and any WMO permits <br />that are needed. <br /> <br />Dennis Sharp of Sharp and Associates stated they are in the position at this time to write out the <br />cheek for the fees. He does not believe the City has the mylars at this time. He was hoping to <br />begin as soon as the City Attorney is able to review the mylars. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich asked if there has been a closing with Ramsey Town Center yet. <br /> <br />City Council/July 27, 2004 <br />Page 18 of 35 <br /> <br /> <br />
