Background/Discussion Case No. P 16-21 & P 17-01 On May 16, 2016, the City Council approved the preliminary plat of Miske Meadows. During the discussion, the applicant requested to remove the detached townhome products from the plat and receive approval of the single-family areas. The townhome areas were identified as outlots on the preliminary plat and required an update to the preliminary plat prior to approval of a final plat. The outlots and an additional area adjacent to the previous preliminary plat are included in this update. Site Plan The proposed parcels for the addition to the plat include 37 detached townhome lots at 50+ foot wide, and 36 single-family lots distributed between the 65 foot and 70 foot product types. The 41 lots proposed at 40 feet, discussed last spring,have been removed and replaced with the townhomes and single-family lots. Circulation and access remain unchanged. The additional access at Cleveland Street and 190th Ave. will be constructed next spring as part of the first phase of Miske Meadows. All 37 of the townhome units are located along Edison Street and will be include in a single home owners association (HOA) which will be responsible for mowing and snow removal on those lots. Staff had concerns with the reduced setback from the street and between buildings and asked for a varied front yard setback to add variation to the streetscape. The applicant provided a plan demonstrating this request, and the adjusted setbacks for this area will be shown on the development plan. Setbacks between townhome units will be a minimum of 10 feet. The single-family parcels will be consistent with recent approvals in the area and have a front yard setback of 25 feet and maintain a minimum of 5 feet from the side property lines with at least 15 feet between buildings. The distance between buildings is consistent with the requirements for single-family districts. Parking One of staff's primary concerns with the size,location, and number of townhome units was the availability of off-street parking. Staff discussed the parking concerns with the applicant, and as this development is located on a public street without additional off-street parking opportunities, a minimum of four off-street parking spaces per unit is required. The off-street spaces can be located in the garage or on the driveway. A minimum of one on-street space is required between each driveway. Potential long- term parking concerns are addressed with current city ordinances. Landscaping The submitted landscape plan shows two trees per parcel,which is consistent with city ordinances. An additional landscaping plan showing a standard foundation planting for the townhome units will be required. A minimum of five shrubs is required for each unit. Building Design The townhomes will be one-story units constructed over a crawl space or as a slab on grade. The builder for this area has not been secured,but the city has seen a number of these unit types in recent years,most recently at Kliever Lake Fields. Each unit will have a two-stall garage, two bedrooms, and opportunity for a porch/patio on the backside of the building. N:APublic Bodies\Agenda Packets\01-17-2017\Final\7.6 sr Nfiske Plat CC.docx
