Ramsey Town Center l3`h Addition, as indicated in the Staff Review Letter for the Sketch Plan. Setbacks: The maximum front setback from street right-of-way is five feet. There are no minimum side and rear yard setbacks within the TC-1 zoning district. The side yard setbacks should be minimized where possible to enhance the pedestrian environment. The revised site plan indicates that the proposed building will be constructed at the build -to line in the front, which is acceptable. The side setback will be approximately 40 feet from the roadway, This large setback is acceptable to staff because it allows .for a friendly pedestrian environment. The outdoor patio extends 29 feet from the edge of the building, and the site plan allows for a nine foot sidewalk/walkway from the'edge of the patio to the street. Waste Storage: The submitted site plan indicates waste storage in the rear of the building in an acceptable waste storage receptacle. Off -Street Parking - Spaces Required: The parking ramp will provide parking to be used by the customers of the restaurant/nightclub. The subject property is in the area designated as the "Parking Maintenance Area." You will be responsible for payment of an annual operation and maintenance fee for the parking facility. L1,1htin-: It does not appear that any additional site lighting is being proposed. However, if arcv outdoor lighting is to be installed on or around the new building, the applicant is advised that the city has adopted specifications relating to commercial lighting standards. Anv lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area, sign, or structure, shall be arranged to deflect away from adjoining public street. Landscaping Plan: The requirements for landscaping of this site will be met by the streetscape improvements the developer will install for Sunwood Drive and East Ramsey Town Center Drive. If any other landscaping is proposed, including within the outdoor patio areas, the final site plan should indicate the location and species proposed. Grading and Drainage: The first floor elevation of the building is specified. Spot eievations must be provided on the existing and proposed streets. The applicant is also responsible for providing pre -runoff and post -runoff calculations. Staff has been in contact with TEC Design and URS Corporation to complete the requirements for grading and drainage. Staff will provide further comments upon receipt of a grading and drainage plan. Access: The site plan is proposing curb -side pick-up stalls along the east side of the building and valet parking along Sunwood Drive. Details on -the size of these parking bays will be required. Sunwood Drive is a concrete street with integral curb, and installation of the valet parking area will require saw cutting the full depth of the concrete. The new pavement will be concrete and will need to be doweled to the existing pavement. The area between the valet parking bay and the building must still accommodate snow removal equipment. -299-
