Architectural Standards The R-2 Residential District has increased architectural design standards when compared to the R-1 Residential District. The current submittal does not include architectural renderings. The PUD approval process does require this step. Action Item: Submit architectural renderings for all unit types. Master Plans for model types must be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. Please note this requirement for future building permit submittals. We encourage you to submit all desired model types in advance to avoid delays in building permit review. Please note, individual permits meeting the requirements of the Building Code Master Plan process can be reviewed. Each individual permit does not need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. Minor adjustments to master plan floor plans is acceptable. Street Widths and Design The proposed street widths are deficient of minimum width standards for the City (32 foot wide streets). Staff continues to debate the pros and cons of this approach. This approach was utilized in the Village of Sunfish Lake Addition. The City's Public Safety and Public Works Maintenance Teams have expressed concern with this design due to maneuverability. On the other hand, Staff also sees other benefits. The intersection of Street H and Alpine Drive is deficient in pedestrian safety. The current recommended strategy is a roundabout in this location and would include a cost share. The proposed intersection has been identified as a concern due to sight lines, geometry, and pedestrian safety. The intersection will also serve as an entrance to future Lake Itasca Park. The project also requires execution of the Armstrong West Arterial/Collector Infrastructure Project. This topic was discussed at the March 28 City Council Work Session. This topic will be discussed as part of Preliminary Plat. Action Item: Either 1) amend the proposal to 32 foot street widths or 2) provide a narrative outlining the benefits of 29 foot street widths. This is for public streets only. Private streets must meet the minimum design requirements of the R-2 Residential District. Action Item: Amend the plan set to include a roundabout at the intersection of Street H and Alpine Drive —OR- propose an equivalent approach the improves sight line and pedestrian safety. It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services.
