Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Review: COR THREE <br />June 15, 2012 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />Minimum lot width <br />Minimum lot depth <br />20 feet <br />80 feet <br />All proposed lots appear to meet these requirements. The City is awaiting a response in regards to <br />Lot 13, Block 1 from Anoka County to ensure adequate spacing of the structure. <br />Staff would like to further explore Lot 1, Block 1 in terms of Stormwater management, required <br />easements, and boulevard tree requirements as noted below. Perhaps the westerly extension of this <br />parcel should be encumbered by a drainage and utility easement. <br />Setbacks: The COR4-a Zoning District requires the following setbacks: <br />Front yard <br />Side yard <br />Rear yard <br />0 to 25 feet as measured from building front to edge of sidewalk; <br />None, unless required by building code; <br />None, unless required by building code. <br />Off -Street Parking Requirements: The COR-4 District requires two (2) off-street parking spaces <br />for each unit; this requirement is exceeded with the proposed 2-car garages and driveways. Some <br />parking is allowed on public streets, however, this may not be adequate for overflow parking. <br />6. Driveway Length/Width: Under the COR-4a Zoning Code, driveways for units with attached <br />garages must be at least 25 feet in length, as measured from the building front to the edge of the <br />sidewalk. The revised Design Framework references a minimum of 20 feet. The City will need to <br />resolve this discrepancy in required driveway length. <br />Architectural Standards: The development is proposing single family homes. The Applicant has <br />submitted architectural elevations representative of what will be built. As the single family units will <br />have a wide variety of styles, it is not possible to architectural elevations of every unit. Each single <br />family unit will receive Staff review and approval before release of building permit. Each single <br />family unit will need to adhere to The COR Design Framework. Although the submitted architectural <br />rendering meets many of the standards of the Design Framework, additional amendments shall be <br />required in terms of the exterior materials being used, specifically a reduction in the amount of vinyl <br />siding and increase in the amount of brick. Furthermore, due to the massing of the roof over the <br />garage, Staff recommends considering dormers instead of gable ends on the front facade. <br />8. Ground Cover/Irrigation: The development is required to establish sod in all areas not improved <br />with structures or pavement. An irrigation system will need to be provided throughout the <br />development where sodded and landscaped areas will be established. Any irrigation systems will <br />need to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. <br />9. Mailbox Location: Location of mailboxes along public streets will need to be clustered and is <br />subject to the review and approval of the Public Works Superintendent. <br />Civil Engineering <br />Reviewer: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer <br />Illinton(aci. ramsev. mn. us l <br />763-433-9834 <br />
