CC Regular Session 4. 6. Meeting Date: 12/11/2018 By: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development Information Title: Adopt Resolution 18-252 Approving Architectural Plans for Parkside Village; Case of Centra Homes, LLC Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is for the City Council to weigh in on final architectural plans submitted by Centra Homes, LLC for Parkside Village (the build -out of Ramsey Town Center 9th Addition). The City Council previously reviewed this case and adopted Resolution 18-228, which granted approval for the project with the condition that the City Council would see final architectural renderings, consistent with COR guidelines. The purpose of this case is to review the proposed final architectural renderings. Notification: No notification required. Observations/Alternatives: Since 2005, City standards in the COR have changed in regards to architectural review, and the City has different regulations surrounding topsoil requirements, wetland setbacks, landscaping, and infiltration. Due to these changes, the City requested the applicant come back forward with a site plan in order for Staff and the City to approve the new buildings. The proposal shows private, internal roadways and 13 new, attached townhome buildings. The applicant is proposing to follow the site plan set forth by the previous developer, which includes attached townhomes and private roads. The proposed townhomes generally meet the architectural guidelines of the COR but will require larger porches. The City has already approved the final plat for this project, so this discussion is strictly about the landscape plan, architectural standards, and approving the grading plan. Staff recommended the buildings meet the current COR regulations, which require changes to the elevations, exterior finish, porch/deck sizes, and adding articulation along the building. The applicant has since brought forth updated architectural renderings, which are attached. The new architectural renderings show: • Additional articulation on backside of building • White instead of brown pillars • Larger front porches Funding Source: The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with Project. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 18-252 approving architectural plans for Parkside Village contingent upon final review by City Engineer. Action:
