City of Ramsey <br />Attn: Tim Gladhill, Community Development Director <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Mr. Gladhill: <br />I am requesting for the Planning Commission to consider the attached <br />floor plan through the appeal process as compliant with The COR <br />Design Framework and a nearly identical front elevation approved <br />several times in this neighborhood. We would anticipate putting this <br />home on up to 4 lots, specifically those lots best suited for this style <br />given the lowest floor elevations we are contending with. <br />feel the proposed floor plan meets the definition of a covered front <br />porch because it meets the required dimensions stated in the design <br />criteria, excluding a 4' walkway in front of the door pathway. Overall the <br />covered front porch area is roughly 96SF and is no different than other <br />plans that have been approved for me in The COR before. We have <br />been told several times that split entry plans do not meet the <br />requirements yet we find no such language in the Design Framework <br />and believe this to be arbitrarily applied based on staff preference. <br />Additionally, we would ask that the $250 appeal fee be refunded in the <br />event the plan is approved given this near identical front elevation has <br />been approved before, and on a 2/10/17 email it was suggested it could <br />be allowed to proceed without the fee to start and let the planning <br />commission and city council decide if the fee was required. <br />Sincerely, <br />T Purmort <br />Purmort Homes, Inc. <br />
