Density. within R-1 zoning districts, the maximum number of dwelling units per buildable area must not exceed 3.2. The proposed density of Willow Ponds is 1.9 units per acre, therefore, meets the density requirement of the proposed R-1 zoning classification. Pot Sizos. In the R-1 district, lot area requirements are 10,800 square feet (s.f.) for interior lots and 11,800 s.f for corner lots. All proposed lots meet or exceed these requirements. Lot Width. In the R-1 district, lot width requirements are 80 feet for interior lots and 105 feet for corner lots. Lot widths are measured at the property setback line, rather than at the front property line. All of the proposed lots meet or exceed these requirements. lat_p_gjatti, Within the R-1 district, a minimum lot depth of 135 feet is required, or 145 feet if a lot has double frontage. Lot depths are measured by taking the average length of the two side property lines, as homes are constructed typically in the middle of lots. As such, all of the proposed lots meet the above mentioned minimum requirements. streets/Cul.-De-Sacs. The proposed subdivision gains access off of County Road 1.2 by three cul-de-sacs. Each cul-de-sac meets the City's maximum length requirement of 500 feet, the minimum width requirement of 60 feet, and the minimum radius requirement of 60 feet. The cul-de-sac arrangement raises some concerns, however, is a more desirable arrangement than a through street due to the proximity to Interstate 35W. Additionally, this proposal mirrors the Apollo Meadows Subdivision (on the North side of 35W), which as mentioned, was recently approved by the City. The proposed intersections and lot access to County Road 12 for lots 24-27 raise some concern. First, the proposed Cricket Court and Grey Squirrel Court don't line up with existing or potential future roadways, creating staggered intersections. The centerline of Cricket Court and the existing Sunset Drive are 220 feet apart, and the centerline of Grey Squirrel Court are 180 feet apart. While the proposal exceeds the City's 125 foot minimum, the proposed layout shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer, and Anoka County. Also, consideration of lining up Cricket Court with a potential roadway constructed with the property to the South being further subdivided should be given. If this property is subdivided a street would have to be constructed down the middle of the existing block. This would severely limit lot depths and would not meet the City's minimum requirement. Therefore, any further subdivision will be complicated.
