The preliminary plat consists of a Preliminary Plat Sheet, E,'dsting Conditions Sheet, Prelim/nary Site & Utility Plan, and a Preliminary Grading Plan prepared by Pioneer Engineering dated August 2, 2002, revised September 25, 2002, We offer the following comments: General: The subject property is 19.46 acres in s}ze and is generally located south of Riverdale Drive and north of the e,,dsting Rivenwick 2nd Addition residential development. The preliminary plat presented proposes to develop the property with 112 townhouse units. The townhomes will be subject to a site plan review for all other aspects of the proposal including but not limited to architectural standards, off-street parking, structure setbacks, and landscaping. Plattina: The proposed plat for Rivenwick 3a Addition will be platted as a Common Interest COmmunity (CIC). The preliminary plat the City reviews will consist of large lots and each indiVidual townhouse unit will be recorded at Anoka County when the Construction of the townhome units has commenced. The townhouse units platted at Anoka County must Conform to the approved site plan and preliminary plat. Zoning: A majority of the subject property is zoned R-2 and the proposed townhouse development is a permitted use within the R-2 Medium Density Residential district. Due to the realignment of Riverdale Drive to the north, a portion of the subject property is zoned B-1. Business and therefore will need to be rezoned to R-2 Medium Density Residential. The City has received the required rezoning application; the: City Council will be reviewing the request on November 12, 2002.. Density: The subject property is 19.46 acres in size. The Comprehensive Plan stipulates major road right2 of-ways must be subtracted from the total parcel area to determine net density. Riverdale Drive is a MSA road and therefore the net project area is 16.0 acres in size. Net density for the is 7.0 units per acre (112 units/16 acres). I I I I I I I I i I I I I i I i I I
