,•_ ti 3. Criteria now under study must be applied to the specific land in question since no other large land parcel is avails- • ble for private development in Falcon Heights and may not properly apply to smaller developrnents that could occur else- where in the Community. Further, time and circumstances will not allow such standarcts to be enacted into law for applica- tion to the land in question. A5 such, any criteria developed now must be considered a:; spec.ltic "guidelines" for use by the Planning Commission and City Council in evaluating develop- ment plans currently being submitted for approval by Che land owners. ~4. Since the land may or may not be developed under a "PUD" Permit, criteria should apply to other possible procedures such as a rezoning, large scale subdivision plat, or other . possible administrativ~r ;ippruach to approval of a develop- . meet plan. Iu other words, criteria employed should result in sound and good land use regardless of the approval method utilized. The basic approach here is to utilize the criteria recommended by the Tatum Woods Neighborhood `Task Force as the foundation for my recommendations but with modifications, deletions, and augmenta- tion I believe to be appropriate and in the geriera~.'public interest. Also, I have included some sketches that illustrate the number of dwelling units that may result by location in utilization of criteria hereinafter suggested. SUGGESTED_I'LnN__l~,vnl.un'l_L_uN C12I'lE1tIA . 1. Relationship to existing single-.family development. a. Land Use. ~ 1) Uses adjacent to existing single-family homes should be either single-larnily detached or 2-story (maximum height) townhomes, "zero lot line" development, du- ` plexes, or similar type housing. 2) If more than one type of housing is proposed, low density types should be .located at the north and east portions of the site with higher density types located to the south and west. b. Setbacks at p~~,erimcter of site. 1) If single family detached. homes are placed adjacent to existing homes, the existing zoning required set- , back should apply. llwelliug units within 130 feet of :.~ north and east property lines should not be per- t milted in excess of one (1) dwelling unit per 10,000 sy. ft. of net (excluding public streets) residential land. Net r~sidcntial land would include any utility or other ea~,emeuts, comuwn open space, or similar land. 2) The required rear yard setback shall be doubled for any alt-ached dwelling units (duplexes, townhomes, quads, etc.) except that one (1) such dwelling unit • may be located at the required zoning setback at in- tervals of not less than 75 feet of property line. -2-
