With the additional lot snies, the project generally complies with the Comprehensive Planguidance. Streets and Trails The subdivision includes three connections to the Miske Meadows subdivision along; the northern propern� line.1hese connections will create a seamless transition between the subdivisions, improving access and mobility for future residents of both projects. The street connections meet'Twin lakes Parkway which connects east -west between Cleveland Ave to the east and Twin I .tikes Road to the west. The current application proposes to make the connection to Cleveland Ave, along with left and right turn Lines as required by Sherburne County.

As the proposed streets comply with cin' standards, parking will be permitted can both sides of the street.

Parcel Design and Layout The proposed lot widths of 55 feet and 65 feet are both below the city standard of an 80-Foot-wide single-family lot, leading to the aapplica rit requesting as I -IUD to facilitate review aszd approval. The city has approved a number of projects with 65-foor lots, Miske Meadows and Twui Lakes Es rates as nearby examples, but ,.,,e do not have a subdivision with single-faunily tors at 55-feet wide. Concerns with smaller lots noted during the concept review include parkingand distance between structures. The parking analysis provided by the applicant shows ample on street parking, but staff recommends limiting driveway widths at the property lisle to 18-feet to maumire on street parking. Proposed setbacks :are as follows: Front'',ard 25 feet (30 feet is the R-1c standard) Corner lots reduced to 20 feet on non -address street (standaard maintains front yard setback along both city streets) Side Yard 73 feet (5 and 10 feet are standard) Rear Yard 20 feet (20 feet is the: standard) Page 143 of 430
