Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides the project area for Mixed-Residential Neighborhood Uses. This designation consists of neighborhoods with multiple housing tyTpes, including detached single-familyT, towrihomes, villas (patio homes) etc. The current proposal consists of t�vo different detached single- familyT lot sizes, and the ghost plats along with the previouslyT reviewed concept proposal includes attached townhome pYoducts, increasing the diveYsityr of home styles in the subdivision. With the additional lot styTles, the project generallyT complies with the Comprehensive Plan guidance. Streets and Trails The subdivision includes three connections to the iVliske Meado`vs subdivision along the northern propert�r line. These connections will create a seamless transition between the subdivisions, improving access and mobilittr for future residents of both projects. The street connections meet Twin Lakes ParkwayT which connects east-west bet�veen Cleveland Ave to the east and Twin Lakes Road to the west. The current application proposes to make the connection to Cleveland Ave, along with left and right turn lanes as required by Sherburne CountyT. Finally, there is a planned roadway stub in the southwest corner that will connect to an e�sting stub in Trott Brook Farms. As the proposed streets comply with cit�T standards, parking will be permitted on both sides of the street. The applicant has submitted a parking analyTsis demonstrating sufficient on-street parking, beyTond what is provided on the drivewayTs. r1ll pYoposed cityr streets include a sidewalk along at least one side of the street, with Ivanhoe PaYkway having a sidetivalk on both sides of the street, carryring the standard fYom Miske Meadows to the noYth. In addition to the sidewalks, there is a net�vork of trails throughout the development. Trails include a connection to an e�sring trail in the southwest corner, completing a current dead-end trail in the Trott Brook Farms subdivision. Additional mid-block trail connecrions are recommended to improve pedestrian mobilit�T bet�veen blocks. FinallyT, the main trail feature is the trail that will circle the pond in the center of the project This trail includes connections to cit�- side�ualks and the planned cit�T park. Parcel Design and Layout The proposed lot widths of 55 feet and 65 feet are both below the cityr standard of an 80-foot-wide single-familyT lot, leading to the applicant requesting a PUD to facilitate revie`v and approvaL The cityT has approved a number of projects `vith 65-foot lots, iVliske Meadows and T�vin Lakes Estates as nearbyT examples, but we do not have a subdivision with single-family lots at 55-feet wide. ConceYns with smaller lots noted during the concept review include paYking and distance between structures. The parking analyTsis provided b�T the applicant sho`vs ample on street parking, but staff recommends limiting drivewayT widths at the propertyT line to 18-feet to maximize on street parking. Proposed setbacks are as follows: FYont YaYd 25 feet (30 feet is the R-1c standaYd) CorneY lots Yeduced to 20 feet on non-address street (standard maintains front yard setback along both city streets) Side YaYd 7.5 feet (5 and 10 feet are standaYd) ReaY YaYd 20 feet (20 feet is the standaYd)
