COMMISSION BUSINESS 6.01: Review Sketch Plan for DC Ramsey, LLC Townhomes Presentation City Planner Anderson presented the Staff Report and stated that staff recommends that the applicant move forward with preparing a preliminary plat for review. The proposal generally meets all requirements of the R-2 District. Commission Business Commissioner VanScoy referenced the site plan and asked for clarification on the location of the wetland and how that would impact the development. City Planner Anderson identified the location of the wetland, noting that part of the project would require a wetland delineation that would define the boundaries. He commented that the eastern half of the parcel would be unbuildable which provides its own density transitioning to the adjacent residential parcels. Commissioner VanScoy asked if there would be remaining outlot to the east of the wetland. City Planner Anderson confirmed there is upland buildable area to the east of the wetland but noted that there would be no building or structures on that area and the proposed use would instead be a ponding facility. Chair Bauer referenced the development to the north and asked if that development has been completed or whether additional homes would be constructed closer to this parcel. City Planner Anderson replied that many of those homes are set further north because of wetland locations. He noted that there is a potential for detached accessory structures on a few of the parcels. Planning Commission/ October 3, 2019 Page2of6
