Review File: North Fork Meadows <br />Sketch Plan and Conditional Zoning Amendment <br />October 6, 2017 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Areas guided Low Density Residential must have urban services before development can take place. These <br />areas will average three (3) units per acre and contain single family, detached dwellings. <br />Where Low Density Residential is directly adjacent to areas guided Rural Developing that contain 2.5-acre lots, <br />strategies for density transitioning will be employed. This means that while an area of Low Density Residential <br />may average three (3) units per acre, those lots directly adjacent to 2.5 acre lots will be closer in size to 2.5 acres <br />in order to provide an effective transition that maintains the existing character of the neighborhood. Screening <br />methods, such as landscaping must also be employed to transition between very low -density areas and urban <br />lots. [Note: In this case, the existing neighborhood has lot sizes at approximately one (1) acres. The density- <br />transitioning goal is to match this lot size, not 2.5 acres]. <br />Zoning District <br />The project site is currently located within the R-1 Residential (i\IUSA) District. Standards for said district are <br />found in City Code Section 117-111. The proposed development is deficient in lot width and lot depth. <br />The Developer is proposing to negotiate lot width and lot size requirements in exchange for the dedication of <br />open space to complete the Lake Itasca Greenway. A requirement of the PUD is a clear public benefit above <br />the minimum requirements of existing City Code. The public benefit cannot count towards other minimum <br />requirements such as park dedication. <br />Standard Minimum Proposed <br />Lot size 10,800 square feet 7,475 square feet & <br />10,800 square feet <br />3 units per acre/4 units per acre with 3.69 units/acre" <br />Density'PUD (net) (need to confirm) <br />Lot width 80 feet/corner lot 90 feet 65 feet <br />Front yard setback 30 feet 25 feet <br />Side vard setback 7.5 <br />uninhabitable 6 feet <br />Side yard setback habitable 10 feet 7.5 <br />Side yard setback for corner lots 30 feet 20 feet <br />Rear vard setback 30 feet 30 feet <br />Maximum Building Height 35 feet Unknown <br />Minimum Floor Area — Rambler with Unknown <br />912 square feet (maul floor) <br />garage <br />Minimum Floor Area — Split Level 720 square feet (total of main living Unknown <br />with garage areas) <br />Two Story with garage 720 square feet (main floor) Unknown <br />Areas of deficiency highlighted in blue. <br />Standards needing clarification highlighted in orange. <br />Density Transitioning <br />2 <br />
