Urban Residential Low (URL) district at the time of preliminary plat application may qualify for a <br />reduction in minimum density requirements. If a property meets two (2) or more of the criteria listed <br />below, the City Council may approve a decrease in the minimum density requirements provided the <br />proposed density does not fall below 1.5 units per acre: <br />A. Adequate sanitary sewer or water capacity does not exist to develop the property at the <br />minimum density. [From Andover] <br />B. Previous subdivision of adjacent properties has provided limited access which restricts <br />development potential. [From Andover] <br />C. Meeting the minimum density would not be feasible due to the existence of poor soils, <br />wetlands, floodplain, topography, hydrology or other limiting environmental condition. [From <br />Andover] <br />D. Property is located within a Shoreland District, Scenic River District, Wellhead Protection Area, <br />or Drinking Water Supply Management Area due to State requirements towards limiting impacts <br />to the above noted items. [From Andover] <br />E. For infill type developments, the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood would not <br />support development of the property at the minimum density. [From Andover] <br />F. The property is adjacent to existing rural residential, large lot development, and development at <br />3+ units per acre would not meet the character of the neighborhood. [Added] <br />The City is aware of several properties that may meet two of the criteria above and has identified these <br />areas on attachment A. Attachment A is for planning purposes only to illustrate the potential <br />applicability of these criteria. Ultimate determination of applicability of these criteria will be at the City <br />Council's discretion and upon site plan review. <br />
