She stated Crest View Senior Communities has submitted a minor plat application along with their site plan submittal to construct a multi-story sel1ior housing and assisted living complex on a portion of Outlot AA of Ramsey Town Center Addition. The subject property is located south of Sunwood Drive, east of the Municipal Center. The sketch plan is proposing to resubdivide Outlot AA of Ramsey Town Center Addition to create one buildable lot and one outlot. The total area of the plat is about 9.4 acres. The new lot for the Crestview facility will be about 4.1 acres. There are no minimum lot size requirements in the TC-l subdistrict, though new lots must be at least 20 feet wide and 80 feet deep, which both lots meet. Ms. Geisler stated Outlot AA is bounded by Sunwood Drive on the north, Rhinestone Street on the east, and Civic Center Drive on the south. Right-of-way for all these streets was platted with the original Ramsey Town Center Addition. Rhinestone Street is not currently constructed, but will be by the City per the Town Center Master Development Agreement. Ms. Geisler advised the sketch plan generally conforms to the To'\!Vl1 Center master plan and standards established in the TC-l District, therefore staff is recommending that the plat move forward in compliance with the City Staff Review Letter.
