Final Plat Review: Ramsey Town Center 3rd Addition October 7, 2004 Page 2 of 3 10. Traffic Generation. Traffic generation was addressed as part of the Ramsey Town Center Alternative Urban Areawide Review, dated June 24, 2003. Grading Plan. Detailed grading plans will be reviewed as part of the Site Plan submittal for the development of the property with commercial buildings. Drainage and Utility Easements. There is also a pre-existing drainage and utility easement running north and south through the plat that will not be necessary under the current development plan.. On July 27, 2004, City Council introduced an ordinance to vacate this easement. Final adoption of the ordinance will be on the October 12 Council agenda for consideration. In accordance with the approved preliminary plat, the final plat proposes to replace the drainage easement for the pond in the appropriate location along the west property line. The proposed Town Center Zoning District has setback standards based on the principle of"build to" lines rather than traditional setbacks. For this reason, the City is r~ot requiting the standard 10 foot wide drainage and utility easements along all plat and lot boundaries. Sewer and Water Trunk Fees. Sewer trunk charges within the City of Ramsey are $3,204.00 per acre and water trunk charges are $7,135.00 per acre. The payment of sewer and ~vater trunk fees will be addressed in the development contract for plat approval. Park and Trail Dedication. Pursuant to the Master Development Agreement between the City and Ramsey Town Center LLC, a separate agreement between the two parties has been agreed upon. The Park and Trail Dedication Agreement stipulates that land and cash payments will be made to cover the Park Dedication and Trail Development obligations by Ramsey Town Center. Therefore, no Park and Trail Dedication or fees are required as part of this plat. However, Ramsey Town Center LLC has not executed the Park and Trail Dedication Agreement. Without the executed agreement from Ramsey Town Center LLC, the City will require you to escrow an amount equal to normal Park and Trail Dedication fee amounts prior to the release of the final plat for recording. Once the Park and Trail Dedication Agreement is executed by Ramsey Town Center LLC, you will not be required to post an escrow for Park and Trail Fees. Development Contract. At the date of this writing, the development contract is in draft form. In order to allow sufficient time for the City and the developer to review the proposed contract, Staff is recommending that the contract be placed on the October 26 City Council agenda for review and approval.
