Subd. 4 Site "Suitable Area" Evaluation. Proposed new or expansions to existing planned unit developments must be evaluated using the following procedures and standards to determine the suitable area for the dwelling unit/dwelling site density evaluation. a. The project parcel must be divided into tiers by locating one or more lines approximately parallel to a line that identifies the ordinary high water level at the following intervals, proceeding landward: Shoreland Tier Dimensions Unsewered Sewered (feet) (feet) General development lakes- first tier 200 200 General development lakes- second and additional tiers 267 200 Recreational development lakes 267 267 Natural environment lakes 400 320 All river classes 300 300 b. The suitable area within each tier is next calculated by excluding from the tier area all wetlands, bluffs, or land below the ordinary high water level of public waters. This suitable area and the proposed project are then subjected to either the residential or commercial planned unit development density evaluation steps to arrive at an allowable number of dwelling units or sites. Subd. S. Residential and Commercial PUD Density Evaluation. The procedures for determining the "base" density of a PUD and density increase multipliers are as follows.. Allowable densities may be transferred from any tier to any other tier further from the waterbody, but must not be transferred to any other tier closer. a. Residential PUD "Base" Density Evaluation: 1. The suitable area within each tier is divided by the single residential lot size standard for lakes or, for rivers, the single residential lot width standard times the tier depth, unless the local unit of government has specified an alternative minimum lot size for rivers which shall then be used to yield a base density of dwelling units or sites for each tier. Proposed locations and numbers of dwelling units or sites for the residential planned unit ` developments are then compared with the tier, density, suitability analysis, and the design criteria contained herein. b. Commercial PUD "Base" Density Evaluation: Determine the average inside living area size of dwelling units or sites within each tier, including both existing and proposed units and sites. Computation of inside living area sizes need not include decks, patios, stoops, steps, garages, or porches and basements, unless they are habitable space. 2. Select the appropriate floor area ratio from the following table: 25
