Case #11: Request for Sketch Plan Review of Shorewalk; Case of Shorewalk, LLC Assistant Community Development Director Frolik advised that Shorewalk, LLC has submitted a sketch plan to develop the property east of Sunfish Lake with a mix of single family and townhome units. The sketch plan for Shorewalk consists of approximately 90 acres on the east side of Sunfish Lake. The developer is proposing to develop the property with 343 dwelling units; 71 single family and 272 townhomes. Assistant Community Development Director Frolik explained the property is zoned R-1 Residential and up to 4 units per acre are permitted as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that includes townhomes. The development plan will require a rezoning to PUD. The gross density on the sketch plan is approximately 3.8 units per acre. At the time of preliminary plat approval, the wetlands will have to be factored out of the calculation and compliance with the net density of 4 units per acre must be demonstrated. The single family lots appear to be less than the minimum required in City Code; this deviation must be addressed as part of the PUD. Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated the sketch planproposes connection to adjacent public streets in Fox Ridge ?d Addition and Chestnut Ridge 3~d Addition. Also, i518. Lane in Fox Knoll has been platted and constructed as a permanent cul-de-sac. However, it does have a 60 foot right-of-way at the common property line with the proposed plat to provide for continuation to the south if necessary. Staff's opinion is that this extension would have limited transportation benefits and may be eliminated if warranted. The plat will also have connection to Sunwood Drive and Sunfish Lake Blvd. Anoka County approval is required for the connection Planning Commission/November 3, 2005 Page 7 of 27 -79-
