Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Review: COR THREE June 15, 2012 Page 4 of 9 Minimum lot width 20 feet Minimum lot depth 80 feet All proposed lots appear to meet these requirements. The City is awaiting a response in regards to Lot 13, Block 1 from Anoka County to ensure adequate spacing of the structure. Staff would like to further explore Lot 1, Block 1 in terms of Stormwater management, required easements, and boulevard tree requirements as noted below. Perhaps the westerly extension of this parcel should be encumbered by a drainage and utility easement. 4. Setbacks: The COR4-a Zoning District requires the following setbacks: Front yard 0 to 25 feet as measured from building front to edge of sidewalk; Side yard None,unless required by building code; Rear yard None,unless required by building code. 5. Off-Street Parking Requirements: The COR-4 District requires two (2) off-street parking spaces for each unit; this requirement is exceeded with the proposed 2-car garages and driveways. Some parking is allowed on public streets,however, this may not be adequate for overflow parking. 6. Driveway Length/Width: Under the COR-4a Zoning Code, driveways for units with attached garages must be at least 25 feet in length, as measured from the building front to the edge of the sidewalk. The revised Design Framework references a minimum of 20 feet. The City will need to resolve this discrepancy in required driveway length. 7. Architectural Standards: The development is proposing single family homes. The Applicant has submitted architectural elevations representative of what will be built. As the single family units will have a wide variety of styles, it is not possible to architectural elevations of every unit. Each single family unit will receive Staff review and approval before release of building permit. Each single family unit will need to adhere to The COR Design Framework. Although the submitted architectural rendering meets many of the standards of the Design Framework, additional amendments shall be required in terms of the exterior materials being used, specifically a reduction in the amount of vinyl siding and increase in the amount of brick. Furthermore, due to the massing of the roof over the garage, Staff recommends considering dormers instead of gable ends on the front fagade. 8. Ground Cover/Irrigation: The development is required to establish sod in all areas not improved with structures or pavement. An irrigation system will need to be provided throughout the development where sodded and landscaped areas will be established. Any irrigation systems will need to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. 9. Mailbox Location: Location of mailboxes along public streets will need to be clustered and is subject to the review and approval of the Public Works Superintendent.
