Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Site Plan Review: Symphony. At Ramsey Town Center May i2, 2005 Page 3 of 9 Block 3 - The design of the trail along Bunker Lake Blvd. must be straightened and constructed to within 1 foot of the property line of the plat. This will result in all of the buildings fronting on Bunker Lake Blvd. complying with the maximum 20 foot setback from sidewalk. The structures fronting on 146th Avenue comply with the 20 foot maximum setback restriction. The structure 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. Development guidelines discourage large spaces between buildings that front on streets. Ail but two of the structures are 25-35 feet apart. Two of the structures on Block 3 are-79 feet apart; the site plan should be modified to decrease that gap.
