Final Plat and Final Site Plan Review: Rarnxey Town Center 9th Addition ,hdy 22, 2005 Page 2 of 6 'l'hc southern portion of the site abuts the Town Center Gardens Development which has st'tbmitted a subdivision plan for their project. The developers should coordinate plans to maximize efficient use of both properties. 4. Setbacks: The TC4-a Zoning District requires the following setbacks: Front yard Side yard Rear yard 0 to 20 feet as measured from building front to edge of sidewalk; None, unless required by building code; None, unless required by building code. On Jtme 28, 2005 the City Council adopted revisions to the Town Center zoning district which will allow a maximum 25-foot front yard setback. All of the proposed units meet the front yard setback requirement with the exception of several of the units in Block 2, Lot 1, though the majority of the building is within 25 feet of the sidewalk or the future right-of-way of Town Center Drive. A sidewalk will need to be provided within 25 feet of these units or a variance will need to be obtained prior to the City issuing building permits for these units. Similarly, the units that front the park on the west side of the plat must also be within 25 feet ..~f a sidewalk or trial. There has been discussion of locating a trail in the~-~ront Sf-these units; the trail will need to be within 25 feet to avoid the need for a setback variance in this location. Public Streets: Town Center Drive will be 'constructed in the south east comer of the property as part of Ramsey ToWn Center 8th Addition. Comments on Town Center Drive are contained in the Staff review letter for that addition. The streets shown in the 9th Addition are proposed as private. The proposed plat does not provide public access to North Park which is directly west of this project. Public access to the east side of the park is desirable. A trail must be provided along the west property line. This will provide public access and delineate the limits of the development. 6. Private Streets: The table below indicates City Code requirements for private street lengths: Maxi~num private street length without a turnaround provided -~Iaximum private street length with a turning provision provided Maximum private street length with a cul- de-sac provided 200 feet 300 feet 600 feet, when exceeding the 300 foot length requirement, the private street width must be 32 feet. The private streets as shown on the site plan comply with the length restrictions. All of the private streets are 24 feet wide. City Code prohibits on-street parking on 24 foot wide private streets. The Development Contract will require all private streets to be signed for "No Parking". The Developer will be responsible for the cost of the signs, including
