(undated) and building elevations prepared by Collage Studio <br />of Design, dated April 7, 2006. We offer the following comments regarding your <br />submittal: <br /> <br />General: The site plan is proposing a 15,194-square foot building that is proposed to <br />have a l St-story retail component with 4 floors of apartments above, for a total of 40 <br />rental apartments. The application package indicates the building footprint is 10,800 <br />square feet. Please indicate the correct footprint on the revised site plan. The building is <br />proposed to be constructed on Lot 2, Block 1, Ramsey Town Center 5th Addition. The <br />site is generally located on Sunwood Drive in front of the Municipal Parking Ramp in the <br />Ramsey Town Center. <br /> <br />There is an error with the eastern property line for this lot, as recorded with Ramsey <br />Town Center 5th Addition. Staff is still researching the error but it appears it can be <br />resolved through an administrative plat. <br /> <br />Zoning: The site is zoned TC-1 Town Center Mixed Use Core. Multi-story, mixed-use <br />buildings are a permitted use within this district. The TC-1 district has a minimum <br />density of 15 units per acre for residential uses. The site plan proposes a density of 111 <br />units per acre. This district also requires a minimum of 70% of the ground floor frontage <br />of all buildings on primary or through streets be reserved for retail, restaurant, or other <br />service uses that directly serve the public. The submitted site plan meets this requirement, <br />as the entire first floor is proposed to be retail. <br /> <br />Architectural Standards: The design standards for this site are subject to the provisions <br />laid out in the Development Guidelines manual referenced in City Code for Ramsey <br /> <br /> <br />
