Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission 17 March 1983 Page Three The City has requested and tentatively received approval that the lake be reclassified as General Development, which would reduce the shoreland setback to 50 feet. When developing the concept further, the applicant should be aware of more State shoreland regulations pertaining to structure elevation, impervious surface area, and shoreland alteration. Water service currently exists along County Road C. According to the City Engineer, sanitary sewer can be provided from Iona Lane. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet will need to be prepared due to the following conditions: • The City does not have its own Shoreland Ordinance. • The project involves 30 or more attached residential units and five acres or more of the development is within a shoreland. Another possible condition that may require an EAW is the development of 150 or more attached units in a 4th class city. In both cases, the City will be the responsible government unit for processing and submitting the environmental reviews. RECOMMENDATION Initially, the City should determine appropriate density figures for both PUD parcels. The decision should be based on considerations of the site, its location and development impact in relationship to the desirable density as suggested by the Comprehensive Plan. After the density is determined, the zoning of the properties can be clarified. Consideration should be given to resolving the dr; gn problems mentioned in the report. It is strongly recommended that the circulation be synchronized with the land to the east. The applicant should consult the State shoreland regulations and indicate compliance on the site plan, i.e, designate ordinary high water contour. The subdivision as proposed is not recommended due to the extremely long cul- de -sac and the undersized single family lots. A more detailed recommendation regarding the conditional use permits for the medium density structures in the R -2 zone and the two family structures in the R -1 zone cannot be made until the density and design elements are resolved. 33
