TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br />2.01: Review Proposed Single Family Floor Plan for Ramsey Town Center 10 Addition <br />Senior Planner Gladhill reviewed the staff report. <br />Councilmember Tossey stated his concern the City is being asked once again for architectural <br />guideline variance. He indicated he is familiar with the homes constructed by Novak and does <br />not think the porches "pass muster." He noted porches were to be an integral part of that <br />addition and other builders have made that adjustment to comply. <br />Mayor Ramsey agreed other houses have a prominent porch and are not dominated by the <br />garage. He stated he found the proposed plan to be lacking from the original intent. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill displayed and described images contained in the design framework. He <br />explained staff has been working with the builders to address the design framework standards <br />and this item is being presented to the Council because of staff hesitation to approve. <br />City Council Work Session / May 22, 2012 <br />Page 1 of 7 <br />
