The sketch plan is also showing an outlot at the ~vestern most portion of 148th Avenue in the plat. City Code requires that streets be brought to the edge of the plat to facilitate development on adjacent parcels, should it occur. A temporary cul-de-sac will need to be provided on 147~l' Lane NW~ this street also exceeds the maximum cul-de-sac length as outlined in City Code. The sketch plan is showing a 30-foot setback from all'bui'!dings to the exterior boundary lines, which complies with the R-2 zoning district. The plan is also showing a 25-foot separation between buildings, which complies with the R-2 district. More detailed review of setbacks will occur at the site plan review stage. A detailed drainage and grading plan will be reviewed during the preliminary plat process. The project is subject to the review and permitting process of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (WMO). The Park and Recreation Commission will also review the sketch plan for recommendations on park dedication and tra.il requirements. Recommendation: While there are many details that must be worked out in the preliminary plat and Site plan stages, the proposed sketch plan is consistent with the first 2 phases of Town Center Gardens. Staff finds the sketch plan generally acceptable subject to further review of grading and drainage, street design, overall density on the site, and the adoption of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and rezoning the subject parcel to TC-4a. Commission Action: Motion to approve/deny the sketch plan of Town Center Gardens 3rd Addition contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated July 30, 2004, revised October 29, 2004.
