Final Plat/Final Site Plan Review: Ramsey Town Center 7th Addition July 7, 2005 Page 2 of 6 At the time of preliminary plat and site plan review, the townhome structures on Lot 5, Block 1, Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, and Lot 1, Block 3, exceeded the maximum front yard setback. The location of the sidewalk is outside the plat boundaries, in the right-of-way for Rhinestone Street N.W., which extends the measurement distance. The Board of Adjustment granted a variance to the maximum front yard setbacks for these 4 structures. In addition, the City Code was subsequently amended and the front yard setback may now be measured from the edge of sidewalk, right-of-way line, or back of street curb, whichever is appropriate. Based on the amended standards, only 2 of the 4 structures are subject to the variance (Lot 5, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2.) 4.
