The'rn'aximum front yard setback from the sidewalk is 20 feet, and the minimum driveway length is 25. <br />feet. This will result in the need for garages that are setback from the front elevation of the home to meet <br />both of these requirements. <br /> <br />The preliminary plat shows a comb[nation of public and private streets. All of the private streets will be <br />24 feet wide and meet City standards for length. The development of the plat will include the <br />construction of the following public streets: 147th Lane NW extending west from Town Center Gardens, <br />Zeolite St NW, and Town Center Drive. The TC-4a District requires 2 off-street parking spaces for each <br />unit; the double garages and driveways provide 4 off-street parking spaces for each unit. <br /> <br />The Park Commission reviewed the sketch plan on February 10. They stressed the Town Center <br />Development guideline that encourages the use of private courtyards or usable greenspace being provided <br />for the residents of the buildings. The preliminary site plan complies with the development guidelines <br />and provides green spaces for recreational and stormwater management purposes on each block. <br /> <br />The Grading and Drainage and Utility Plans have been reviewed. A preliminary list of revisions are <br />listed in the City Staff Review Letter. Staff is still receiving and reviewing updates to the drainage, <br />grading, street, and utility plans. Additional information and revisions may be required once the Staff <br />review is complete. <br /> <br />The proposed Landscaping Plan easily exceeds the minimum planting requirements in City Code. The <br />Plan is acceptable with some minor modifications. No tree preservation plan is required as the site is <br />void of trees. <br /> <br />The Master Development Agreement for Town Center establishes that there are no park or trail fees due <br />on this plat. However, there is a park payment obligation in the 1st Amendment to the Master <br />Development Agreement that requires a cash payment, to the City, upon sale of the property in an <br />amount equal to $750.00 times the number of eligible units on the property in accordance with the zoning <br />regulations. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff is still receiving and reviewing plans regarding the drainage, grading, street, and utility plans for <br />Ramsey Town Center 8"~ Addition. Staff will provide the Planning Commission with a recommendation <br />for the preliminary plat and site plan at the meeting. If the plans are not adequate or review of the plans <br />have not been completed, Staff will be making a recommendation to table consideration of the <br />preliminary .plat and preliminary site plan of 8th Addition. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Will be based on discussion. <br /> <br />PC: 06/02/05 <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Community Development Director <br />Civil Engineer II <br />Recycling & Zoning Coordinator <br /> <br />44 <br /> <br /> <br />
