lh'climinary Plat and Preliminary Site Plan Review: Symphony. At Ramse~ Town Center May 12, 2005 Pa~e 2 o£ 9 Lots: The preliminary plat is proposing to resubdivide Outlot U, Ramsey Town Center, and part of Outlot B, Ramsey Town Center 2nd Addition into 33 lots for the 33 multi-family buildings, and two outlots. The City of Ramsey is requesting that the plat be revised to plat the 190 units and common areas. The following discussion addresses some of the City's concerns with the current plat design. Blocks 10, 11 and 12 are landlocked from access to public or private streets. There is no typical association common area; all of typical common arcs is divided up among the 33 blocks. If the units are platted as one building on a single lot, there will only be one sewer/water service to the building. Individual services to each of the units requires platting each unit. One lot per building versus one lot per unit has a significant impact on the type of separation walls required by the Building Code between the units. One hour fire separation walls are required on each side of the property line. The lack of property lines between individual units provides the builder with the opportunity to replace the requirement for 2 one-hour separation walls between units with 1 two-hour separation wall~ Drainage and Utility Easements are shown on sheets 18- 21. They should also be shown on the preliminary plat on sheet 7. The two outlots will be retained by Ramsey Town Center, LLC for future development. 4.

This will result in all of the buildings fronting on Bunker Lake Blvd. complying with the maximum 20 foot setback from sidewalk. All of the buildings fronting o~n 146th will comply with the 20 foot setback from the sidewalk. There is no sidewalk required on the east property line. The structures fronting on Rhinestone Street will need a variance to maximum setbacks as the sidewalk is in the road right-of-way rather than within the property boundaries. The location of the trail in the road right--of-way is in accordance with the Park and Trail Dedication Agreement for Town Center. Block 2 - The structures fronting on 146th, East Ramsey Parkway, and "Q" Street, comply with the maximum 20 foot setback from sidewalk edge.
