Memo to Planning Commission/P 02-08 April 23,2002 Page 3 • Analysis Rezoning Request The applicant is requesting that approximately six acres be rezoned from R1c(Single Family Residential)to PUD (Planned Unit Development). These six acres are located on the east side of Twin Lakes Road. The underlying land use designation for this property is MR (Medium Density Residential).The applicant is proposing to include these 6 acres as part of Marshes of Trott Brook Farms.They are proposing to construct 10 townhouses on these 6 acres for a density of 1.66 unit per acres,which is consistent with the land use of Medium Density Residential.However,as this six acre parcel could be developed independently from the adjacent development; a rezoning to R3 could accommodate the townhouse request. Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit Single Family Component Layout There are 23 single family lots proposed.Nine of the lots front on Trott Brook Parkway and 14 lots front on Smith Circle.Outlot A,which includes a storm water water pond,should be eliminated and combined with the adjacent single family lots.The average lot size is 26,488 sf.(.60 acres).The smallest lot is 11,405 sf.and 19 of the 23 lots are larger than 14,000 sf.The . minimum lot width for all of the lots is 85 feet.The configuration of the cul de sac will have to be revised to a more traditional shape to facilitate snow removal.A sidewalk is proposed along the east side of Smith Street. Townhouse Component Layout The townhouse component of this proposal is divided into four groups.There is cluster of townhouses north of Trott Brook Parkway(formerly single family lots),a cluster south of Trott Brook Parkway(formerly single family lots), a second cluster south of Trott Brook Parkway(the original townhouse component)and a cluster off of Twin Lakes Road(which was not included in the original plat). There are 29 townhouses proposed to be located north of Trott Brook Parkway.They will have access from Trott Brook Parkway and Smith Street by a private street, 187th Avenue. Nine of the townhomes are proposed to have direct access on a 430 foot section of Smith Drive.As proposed,there will be 9 driveways on one side of Smith Drive.It is possible that there will also be 2 driveways on the other side of the street. Smith Drive will be a public street and will be one of two main access points to the Becker property located north of this project. On a typical 430 foot length of public street there would probably 5 driveways on one side servicing 5 single family lots.The other 20 townhouses will have access from 187th Avenue and a short unnamed dead-end private street. Most of the units back up to open • space. S:\PLANNING\Case Files\P 02-08 Marshes of Trott Brook\PC4-23.doc
