Density. As noted previously, the proposed subdivision is to accommodate two differing dwelling unit types and densities. Within R-1 Zoning Districts, the maximum number of dwelling units per buildable area must not exceed 3.2. The proposed density of the single family residential component of the subdivision is 3.2 DU/acre and meets maximum allowable density requirements of the R-1 District (10 DU divided by 3.2 acres). . is y app c .

In review of the site plan, the multiple family component of the development proposes a density of 8.3 dwelling units per acre (48 DU divided by 5.8 acres) and complies with applicable density requirements. Lot Sizes. Proposed single family residential lots range in size from 13,360 to 16,018 square feet and satisfy minimum R-1 District lot area requirements of 10,800 square feet.

At + 10.5 acres in size, the multiple family component of the development (Lot 1, Block 2) greatly exceeds the ordinance requirement. Lot Width. In the R-1 District, a minimum interior lot width of 80 feet is required. All single family lots have been found to meet such lot width requirements. Within R-4 Districts, a minimum lot width of 150 feet is required. At 650+ feet in width, Lot 1, Block 1, as illustrated upon the preliminary plat, greatly exceeds minimum lot width requirements of the R-4 District. Lot Depth. All proposed R-1 lots (Block 2) have been found to meet applicable 135 foot minimum lot depth requirements. No minimum lot depth requirements are imposed in R-4 Zoning Districts. Streets. The subject site is to receive its access via Elm Street (County Road 12) from the south. As a County road, all access points must be approved and issued permit by the Anoka County Highway Department. While Elm Street is currently classified as a County road, it is anticipated that at some future point, the street will be turned over to the City. The anticipated loss of County designation relates directly to the street's function and traffic volumes. In consideration of the street's current and anticipated function, the proposed direct single family lot access being proposed is considered acceptable. The plat shows a 7' street right-of-way dedication along Elm Street to bring the full right-of-way to an 80' width which complies with City standards for a collector street. 6
