Final Plat & Site Plan: Rarnsey Town Center 17 Addit/on January 19, 2006 Page 2 of 6 Lots: The final plat is proposing to resubdivide Outlot A of Ramsey Town Center 8~ Addition into twelve (12) lots for 12 6-unit townhome structures. The individual units will eventually be platted through the CIC process. This should be coordinated with the building division to ensure that the buildings and platting conform to the building code. Setbacks: The TC4-a Zoning District establishes a maximum fi-om yard Setback of 25 feet. Due to the significant grade changes between the plat and Bunker Lake Blvd., and the unique shape of the property, the Board of Adjustment granted a variance on December 1, 2005 to site the buildings with from yard setbacks that range from 28 to 35 feet from the right-of-way or property line. Public Streets: Ali of the public streets (Zeolite, Xenolith, 147th Terrace, Willemite and Ramsey Town Center Drive) are either existing qr under construction as a part of the plat approvals for Ramsey Town Center 8 , 9 and 10 Addxtions. 8. Private Streets: There are no private streets proposed on the final plat. 9. Open Space: The Town Center Development Review Guidelines encourage the integration of private courtyards and pocket parks within the TC4 Neighborhood District. These small green areas provide important breathing space, contribute to stormwater management, and offer additional recreational amenities to serve the building tenants. There are several pockets of greenspace between the buildings that range from 30 to 50 feet in width. In accordance with the preliminary plat, the final site plan complies with the development guidelines. t0.

Seed shall ab'lde conform to IVINDOT Spec. 3876, Mixture 60B and be applied at a rate of i00 lbs/acre. The grading plan shows proposed retaining walls along the non-garage sides of the buildings. This will provide level areas adjacent to the buildings that can be used by the residents. There are areas where the grade slopes away from the building at a 4:1 slope down to the street. Raising the retaining wall height may provide more level area adjacent to the building. -221-
