The proposed use is consistent with the recommended develop- ment for the area, i.e. from page 104 of the Development Framework, "The City should ;onsider planned unit development with clus`e ed housing to take the best advantage of the terrain." Subdivision. The 7.28 acre site is proposed to be divided roughly in half along the existing sanitary sewer line. The northern lot is a wetland with little development potential at this time and has been labled an outlot. The proposed development is basically contained on the southern lot, Lot 1 (see Exhibit B, attached). One point of the street and one point of a driveway have encroached on the outlot. It is felt that the entire development should be contained on Lot 1 and the lot configuration changed to accommodate the full development. 48 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420
