The sketch plan consists of one (I) sheet dated received by the City. on November 13, 2001 and prepared by Midwest Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers, Inc. In addition, City Stag has prepared an e,'ddbit showing the proposed development and the adjacent properties. We offer the following comments: General: The subject property, is approximately 8.75 acres in size and is generally located in the southwest quadrant ofT.ti. #47 and 153'd Avenue N.W. The sketch plan presented proposes to develop the property with 47 town. home units. The town.homes will be subject to a site plan review for all other aspects'.of the proposal: including but not tim/ted to arcbStectura, t standards, off-street parking, structure setbacks, and landscaping.' The result~ of .the site plan review may impact the actual number of townhomes to be developed on the property. Zoning: The subject property is zoned B-l Business. The City has received a request to rezone the subject property to R-3 Urban Residential. A rezoning would allow the property to be developed at a density not to exceed 7 units art acre. Density: The subject property is approxknatety 8.75 acres and the 47 umts proposed results in a gross density of 5.4 un/ts per acre. Net density (exclusive of wetlands and major road right-of-way) will be calculated at the time of preliminary plat .approval. The net density, is not expected to change substantially from the gross density calculation as there are ao major roads proposed and it doesn't appear that there are wetlands present on the prope~wy.
