Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 01-05 <br />November 18, 2002 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />* Except for brick, stucco, and/or natural or artificial stone, no single building fagade <br /> shall have more than 75% of one type of exterior building finish. Each elevation of <br /> the townhouses have more than 75% vinyl siding. <br />· Except for brick, stucco, and/or natural or artificial stone no townhome shall have <br /> more than 60% of all building facades of one type of exterior finish. More than 60% <br /> of all the building facades are vinyl. <br /> <br />Parking <br /> <br />Four off street parking spaces will be provided for each unit. Each unit will have a two car <br />garage and there will be room for two cars in the driveway. On street parking will be allowed <br />on one side of the public streets. Parking on the private streets will be restricted, depending <br />on the street width, to allow for emergency access. <br /> <br />Traffic and Streets <br /> <br />The project includes a mix of public streets and private drives. The public streets include the <br />main loop road through the project and two connecting streets on the east and west sides of <br />the central drainage pond. Most of the townhouses are serviced by private drives. Four <br />townhouse buildings have driveways with direct access to public streets. Street right-of-way <br />is platted to the east boundary of the plat to provide for future road connection to the east. <br />The private drives, with the exception of the drives servicing the five quad buildings at the <br />east end of the project, will include curb and gutter. In order to provide a more residential <br />feel, no curb and gutter are proposed for five quad buildings at the east end of the project. <br /> <br />Pedestrian Access <br /> <br />Sidewalks are proposed from Twin Lakes Road around both sides of Streets A and B. There <br />are also sidewalks proposed around the drainage pond in the center of the project. <br /> <br />Grading, Drainage and Utilities <br /> <br />Grading, drainage and utility issues are outlined in the City Engineer's memo. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission recommended cash dedication based on a per unit <br />basis for the townhouses, senior cooperative and the apartments, and a per acre rate for the <br />commercial/office portion of the project. They also requested a 30' easement for pedestrian <br />purposes parallel to the railroad right-of-way in the southwest corner of the site. <br /> <br />Design Standards <br /> <br />Attached are the design standards proposed by the developer. These standards will be <br />incorporated into the PUD Agreement and will be used to guide future development in this <br />PUD. The signage standards are similar to those in the Elk River Crossing PUD. The 35 <br />foot maximum height for development sign is more applicable to a highway commercial type <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\P 01-05 Elk River Station\ll-18cc.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
