PAXMARC Applicants Submitted Conditions of Approval Edits Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council April 26, 2016 Planning Commissioners c/o Mr. Zachary Carlton, Planning Manager 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55011 Re: Miske Meadows Preliminary Plat renewal, PUD Amendment Members of the Planning Commission and staff, Thank you for the recommendation of approval in the report we received on April 22"d. This letter clarifies a few of the conditions to be consistent with our representations and the market place. Actions Requested #3. Marketplace and our docs will have the HOA be in a position to enforce repairs to poor upkeep of a home, but will not set aside dues jor a reserve account to deal with the exterior. This is a huge unnecessary expense for these homeowners. Each DTH home is no different than any other single family home lin quality and longevity of materials before maintenance is due. All homes built in this neighborhood including the current ones will begin to need some upkeep 15 to 20 years from now, beginning with roofing. 3. The homeowners association shall maintain all turf and landscape areas, remove snow from all driveway and sidewalk areas. STRIKE LAST PORTION #4. Allow maximum 20' driveway width at the curb line. Acknowledge that the driveway width increases towards the garage. Several home styles have a 3 car garage plan. We will measure for 42' front door side to front door side, but may need 40' in some cases when we switch the rotation of garage — garage. Staff shall acknowledge that the garage - garage side is less than 42' versus every other lot. 4. Staff approval of an updated site plan identifjang 20 foot maximum driveway widths kt the curb for all parcels, and maintaining a minimum of 42 feet between every front door -front door pattern, and less on garage to garage patterns & -er _ of4er dri-eew;aT for all parcels below 65 feet wide on Edison, Fillmore and inside curves of Ivanhoe Drivel. Dimensions shall be included on final development plan. #6. Add the word only, after curb line. 6. Driveway widths for all detached townhome lots below 65 feet wide shall not exceed 20 feet when measured at the curb line only. #7. All SF curbs shall remain surmountable curb, not B618, which allow for Flexibility of home placement on the lot. Change curb type note accordingly. 5160 Viking Blvd. NW Anoka, MN (763)753-6176 Comment [LC1]: Ifno dues are gathered how can this be enforced? Are dues being gathered for other maintenance and repair items? What is "poor upkeep of a home" and how this will be funded? Comment [LC2]: If it is the same as a single family home, why is it not adhering to the regulations outlined for single family homes in an R1 district? Comment [LC3]: If we are removing the maintenance conditions of exterior buildings, the grounds in and around the detached town homes, (see plat condition #3 on the last page) and trails, (see CUP condition 414 & 15) what is the purpose of a homeowners association`? The product essentially becomes standard single family lots. Typically townhome associations take care of landscaping, snow removal, and building maintenance. Comment [LC4]: Staff agrees with this clarification but would change it to property line to be consistent with the ordnance. Comment [LC5]: The remaining changes staff does not agree with. Off street parking has been and continues to be a significant concern for staff. This recommendation was added to insure adequate distance is consistently provided between all driveways for multiple can to park. This ties in with CUP condition #7. Comment [LC6]: This word is not needed. Comment [LC7]: The home placement should be identified and determined in a Planned Unit Development. These elements should be planned for ahead of time. The largest lots in this proposal are still smaller than what the standard R1 zoning allows. The only significant change a home owner could make is flipping the house.
