Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission 3 January 1985 Page Three Planned Unit Development. The clustering of the two proposed structures is seen as acceptable from a site layout perspective. This positioning and the division of the property, however, requires approval of a conditional use permit - planned unit development. This is seen as accetpable provided driveway and utility easements are properly prepared and a property owners association is established for maintenance, repair and other such factors of joint utilization. Site Design Evaluation. The site and building plans, as proposed, are attached to this report. These are reflective of the proposal with the exception that the garages will be five stall structures instead of four bay buildings., This situation will result in five foot setbacks from the internal lot line. Such situations are acceptable from a planned unit development zoning perspective and also building code requirements. It has been recommended to the applicant that intense landscaping improvements be added at minimum to the south and west portion of the site. Similar treatment would also appear desirable to the north. To the east some site enhancement would also assist in the accomplishment of the transition concept. All other aspects of the site layout have been found to conform to the City's zoning requirements. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the five requests involved in the proposed development are recommended contingent upon: 1. The subdivision is prepared in final plat form and processed accordingly. 2. Utility and drainage easements be placed along all lot lines. 3. Park dedication fees be paid. 4. Utility and drainage plans be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. 5. A development contract, as well as property owners association agreement be prepared to govern driveway and utility maintenanceand repair, plus any other jointly utilized facilities. The agreements in question should be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney. 6. Intense landscaped natural screening be required along the south and west lot lines of the property. Landscape enhancements are also to be made along the north and east portions of the sites. Plans for these improvements detailing number, species and location shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Planner. A performance bond as specified by the Zoning Ordinance shall be required for these improvements prior to the issuance of building permits and said improvements are to be installed prior to the issuance of building occupancy permits. 17
