• Public street facing improvements for homes on south portion of lot (abutting 147th Ln) including front <br />porch, door, and typical "front of home" look <br />• Required porches of at least 48 square feet on the front of homes <br />• Inclusion of stone or other high quality materials <br />City Staff would like feedback from the Planning Commission on this requirement. <br />Streets <br />The Applicant has proposed a private street running east -west through the development. This street is required to be <br />at least 24 feet wide with no parking signs on both sides of the street. <br />Bulk Standards <br />The proposal appears to meet the requirements for density, overall lot coverage, driveway length, house size, and <br />setbacks. <br />Wetlands <br />There are significant wetlands that have been delineated and will need to be encumbered with drainage and utility <br />easement entirely, as well as a 16.5 foot setback from the edge of the wetland that will need to be covered by <br />easement. The Applicant is aware of the wetland onsite and has noted the 16.5 foot wetland setback. <br />Architecture <br />The Applicant is proposing modular -style homes, which are built off -site in two pieces and are connected onsite. <br />The homes would be slab -on -grade homes with garages and porches constructed onsite. The Applicant has noted <br />that the modular -style construction allows for a lower price point, under $300,000, which provides an affordable <br />option for first-time homebuyers and those looking to downsize. They use a midwestern company based out of <br />Wisconsin for construction. This is an acceptable construction method so long as the exterior design requirements <br />are met. Generally, the hope is that these units will look similar to surrounding homes. The home is affixed to a <br />foundation. <br />City Code Requirements <br />• Section 117-112: R-2 Bulk Standards <br />• Section 117-588: Major Plat Requirements <br />Funding Source: <br />The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this project and review. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution #20-002 Approving Preliminary Plat for Garden View Villas <br />Action: <br />Motion to Recommend the City Council Adopt Resolution #20-002 <br />Site Location Map <br />Plan Sheets <br />Planning Report 12.18.19 <br />Landscape Report 12.11.19 <br />Written Comment Received <br />Resolution #20-002 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />
