The sketch plan consists of seven (7) sheets dated August 3, 2006 (transmittal date March 6,2008) by Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc.. We offer the following comments: 1. General: The subject property is approximately 1.1 acres in size and is located on the east side of Ebony Street N.W., south of Riverdale Drive N.W. and the Superbowl facility. The sketch plan is proposing to develop three (3) single-family units on the property. 2. Zonin~: The property IS currently zoned R-l Residential (MUSA); single-family residential dwellings are a permitted use in this district. 3. Mississippi River Overlay District. The property is located in the Mississippi River Overlay District. All development projects in this District that include platting the property are required to submit a Site Development Plan. The district states that the development shall preserve 50% of the land as open space, and restrict impervious (rooftop and pavement) to 25% of the lot area (or up to 35% with a Conditional Use Permit). It is also noted that the maximum structure height in the Overlay District is 35 feet. The Site Development Plan verifies compliance except for ~tructure height. 4. Density: The subject property is approximately 1.1 acres in size. R-l Single-Family Residential allows for 1-3 units per acre. The sketch plan proposes three (3) units which equates .to a density of 2.72 units per acre. The density proposed meets City Code standards for the R -1 District. 5. Streets: The plat will receive public access from Ebony Street N.W., a dedicated and improved public street. City Staff finds this plan acceptable. 38
