It should be noted that City Code permits only one building per lot, unless a Planned Unit Development is approved. Either a code amendment or a variance will be required before the additional buildings on this lot can be approved. The Town Center Zoning District establishes setback standards based on the principle of "build to" lines rather than traditional setbacks: The only setback requirement in the TC-1 District is in the front yard, where buildings must be within 0-5 feet of the property line. At least 60% of the front fagade must meet this setback. On the proposed site plan, approximately 65% of the front fagade is meeting this requirement. The TC-1 District requires buildings tol be 2-5 stories in height. The site plan is proposing a three-story office building. The grading, drainage, and utility plans will need to be revised in accordance with the C~ty Staff Review letter. Staff is still in need of additional-information regarding the '-use :of square footage inside the building .to determine the parking spaces needed for the development. Staff is also asking for additional information regarding brick and glass coverage on the building. The applicant has modified portions of the exterior from stucco to kasota techture material, which Staff finds acceptable. The landscaping plan is generally acceptable in accordance with comments outlined in the City Staff review letter. RecOmmendation: Staff recommends approval of the final plat and final site plan subject to the City Staff Review Letters and the applicants entering into a development agreement and development permit with the City. CoUncil Action: Motion to adopt Resolution # to approve the final plat of Ramsey Town Center I1th Addition, with the above listed contingencies.
