area has a net density of 15 units per acre. The townhouse area within the designated high <br />density area has a net density of 9.49 units per acre, while the apartment building has a net <br />density of 18.34 units per acre. Overall, the net density of the.development within the high <br />density residential area is just under the maximum allowed at 14.97 units per net acre. <br /> <br />Townhomes 2.74 acres 26 9.49 units per acre <br />Apartment Units 4.47 acres 82 18.34 units per acre <br />Total : i'7.21:: ::! <br /> <br />Essentially, the applicant is asking to "borrow" density from the townhouse area and apply it to <br />the apartment lot. Since this will not be a' Planned Unit Development, this transfer of density, if <br />allowed, would need to be addressed in the development agreement. <br /> <br />The single-family lots abut urban size residential lots to the north.and west and two large single <br />family lots to the south that are buffered by wetlands. The single-family lots all meet the <br />standard minimum dimensional and area requirements. Eighteen lots are subject to regulations <br />governing shorelands. These lots all meet the dimensional and lot width requirements for the <br />Shoreland District. <br /> <br />The townhomes will be adjacent to the new single-family lots and a large single-family lot along <br />Nowthen Blvd. The apartments will be across the street from the existing senior's apartment <br />building. <br /> <br />The development will gain primary access from Nowthen Blvd. and secondary access from <br />Iodine St. N.W. As part of the plat, 145th Court will be extended another 200 feet to serve <br />additional lots being created as part of the plat. The prelim/nary plat does not show any <br />proposed access to or from the subdivision using Fluorine St. N.W. <br /> <br />The development is proposing to use Outlot A and B of Wood Pond Hills 4th Addition in <br />combination with land on the development property to create 7 new single family lots and <br />complete 145th Court. Two existing lots on the south side of 1-45th Court are shown as receiving <br />additional land in their rear yards. <br /> <br />The plat shows three outlots. Outlot A is located across Nowthen Blvd. and currently has the <br />Lord of Life Church sign on it. The applicant is planning on deeding Outlot A to the church. <br />Outlots B and C are planned to be deeded to the two property owners on 145th Court as shown. <br /> <br />The drives serving the townhomes are a combination of private and public roads. The public <br />roads will consist of 144th Lane, 144th Court and Iodine St. The applicant is dedicating 60 feet of <br />right-of-way for the public streets through the townhouse portions of the development. The <br />remaining townhouse units will be served by driveways coming off the. public roads. As the <br />Planning Commission knows, the City has been reviewing use of private roads in multi-family <br />developments. This plan appears to comply with the policies that the Planning Commission <br />previously reviewed. The public/private road policy anticipates reduced setbacks for those <br />townhouse units located on public streets. The townhouse units along public streets will be <br />setback 25 feet from the right-of-way (approximately 40 feet from back of street curb) and the <br /> <br /> <br />
