?re/iminary Pl~t Review: Summerxet lPfec~dows " September 30, 2003, J~evi~ed October 2J, 2005 ?age 3 of 9 Lot Sizes: The minimum lot size for a R-"i'~' Single Family Urban lot is 10,800 square feet. Most of The proposed singie-family lots are tess than the required lot size (I_39 of 154 lot). You are requesting the smaller single-family lot sizes as part of the PUD. The single- family lots range from 7,952 sq. 15. to i4,698 sq. ft. with an average lot size between 8900 to 9,000 square feet. Town_homes do not have minimum lot size. Lot Dimensions: The minimum lot width for R-1 Single Family lots is 80 feet as measured at front yard setback. It appears that all of the single-family lots are less than 80 feet wide at building setback. The lots average about 61 feet in width at the front building Setback line. You are requesting this smaller tot width as part of the PI,rD request in order to foster a neighborhood design element as weli as to make up for the loss of nearly 14 acres being given to the City for the future Mississippi l:Liver Bridge crossing. Under CiU Code, there is not a minimum lot width requirement, for townhomeS. Setbacks: Per Staff direction, the applicant has prepared a setback exhibit (pg. 17-18 of 35). Setbacks appear to be met for ali of the units except for two areas (Lot 1, Block 3 and Lot 5, Block 6). The required comer side yard setback is 30 feet. The Developer is proposing tLat that these two lots have a 25-foot comer side yard setback. This deviation from code w/ll be required to have approval as part of the PUD request. Grading and Drainage Plans: The project will require a permit from the Lower Rtun R/ver Water Management Organization. The permit will address the storm water calculations as well as the wetland filling and mitigation as noted below. Review of the ~ading tabulation indicates that all of the lots have the mirfimum 2 foot vertical separation between the nearest 100 year water level and the lowest floor elevation. This project w/Il also require, an NPDES II permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A copy of the permit application must be provided to the city. The permit must be transferred if the property is sold during development or when the contractors working on site change. The typical permit is valid seven days after the .application is mailed; however, there are specific conditions under which a longer review per/od is required. These specific conditions should be investigated during the review process so that consm, mtion is not delayed waiting for this permit. The park ~ading in the northwest comer should be adjusted to move the drainage swale away from the middle of the park. An exhibit must be prepared showing how the park could be developed with parking, a play 5etd and other amen/ties. The park area may be more useful to the city if the narrow rr/angular area north of lots 8 - 11 Was reconSgured by losing a lot and extending the remaining lot lines to the right of way. The drainage and utiliD,' easements along rear lot lines must cover the area anticipated to be inundated during the 100 year event. Please review the anticipated flow wid"rh in drainage swales and adjus~ the easements accordingly. -274-
