6. A PUD shall be served by adequate transportation, water, sanitary sewer and drainage systems. All homes will be served by water and sanitary services. The development includes a number of stormwater ponds and drainage improvements to ensure drainage is managed per city requirements. The current drainage plans require updating, and staff continues to work with the applicant. The PUD is adequately served by existing and proposed transportation networks.Traffic and transportation impacts identified during the previous EAW remain valid. Required improvements identified in the study (realignment of Cleveland Ave,bypass lane on CSAH 12, and right turn lane on Twin Lakes Road) were completed and a second connection to Cleveland Ave will be completed with the first phase of the project. Staff recommends connecting Miske Meadows to Sunset Ridge to provide safer alternative opportunities for Sunset Ridge residents,improve emergency service connectivity,improve road maintenance and service routes,and improve pedestrian connectivity. 7. A PUD shall not adversely affect existing or proposed parks, schools, streets or other public facilities. The development includes a new city park and the proposed re-districting of Twin Lakes Elementary took into account the potential for development in the surrounding area. Streets and public utilities are being added to serve the development. 8. The council may establish varied and reasonable lot area,frontage, side yard, and setback requirements for a PUD and may authorize a density which it determines to be appropriate under the circumstances.Any permitted density shall be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. The typical lot area, frontage, and setback requirements for the R-1c zoning district,which is the most comparable single-family district, are 11,000 square feet, 80 foot minimum width, and 30 foot front yard setbacks. The side yard setbacks differ,but a minimum of 15 feet between buildings is maintained. The proposal includes four different lot types, all of which are below the R-1 c standard. The largest lots are approximately 75 feet wide and 9,750 square feet with 15 feet between buildings. The smallest lots are 44 feet wide and 5,720 square feet with 10 feet between buildings. Front yard setbacks for all lot types are 25 feet. The reduced width, size, and setbacks are permissible via the PUD process,but the final dimensions/size can be adjusted by the City Council or recommended for change by the Planning Commission. 9. More than one principal building may be constructed on a lot within a PUD if authorized by the council. Unless otherwise permitted by the council, a PUD shall comply with the schedules of dimensional regulations set forth in this article, except that individual lots shall have no less than 80 percent of the minimum area for similar uses. Each principal building will be located on its own lot. \\dc3-elkr\shared\Departments\Community Development\Planning\Case Files\P\P 16-02 Miske Meadows\P 16-02 SR PC 4-26-2016 Paxmar- Miske Meadows.docx
