Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that George Sherman of Sherman Associates has applied for site plan concept approval to develop townhouse units on Outlot B of Sunfish Square, which is located at the northeast comer of the intersection of County Roads #116 and #56. She explained that a minor subdivision will be required to remove the outlot designation and render the property buildable. The property consists of 8.7 acres and under Multiple Residential zoning, the property is eligible for 130 units; the developer is proposing 64 rental units. Because the units are rental, the plat will consist of one lot for all units versus 64 separate parcels. The exterior will be maintenance free aluminum siding with asphalt shingle roofs. A private road extension from 141st Lane on the east and 142nd Lane on the north is proposed to provide access to the development. City staff supports the private road concept as k provides the opportunity for narrower pavement widths on the streets, which, in mm, increases the amount of area available for additional off-street parking nodes, green space and snow storage. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended approval. She announce that Mr. Sherman is available to answer any questions. Councilmember Peterson inquired if any more storage had been considered. Mr. Sherman replied that they could check out the economics of building extra, detached garages. He noted there is enough room to set aside for this. He described the townhouses as high quality two and three bedroom apartments with market rate rents. Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to recommend Sherman Associates proceed to apply for final site plan and plat approval for the proposed townhouse development on Outlot B in Sunfish Square. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beahen, Peterson, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case //9: Final Plat Approval of Bury & Carlson 2nd Addition City Engineer Jankowski stated that the City has been working to acquire some property from Bury and Carlson to facilitate the acquisition of lands along the south and west boundaries of the parcel for the extension of McKinley and Jaspar Street into a collector roadway paralleling the railroad tracks. Land not required for the roadway will be utilized by the City Public Works facility or for storm drainage ponding. The Planning Commission recommended final plat approval. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution g96-03~059 granting final plat approval to Bury & Carlson 2nd Addition. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer, Beahen and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #10: Review Draft Language for the City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that she had provided Council with a rough draft of the language for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. She noted some of the changes to Council. Consensus was to submit the changes to the consultants and then bring it back for Council review. City Council/March 26, 1996 Page 12 of 16
