In judging the development proposal against the State Shoreland Regulations, the proposal does not meet the density requirement of 2.09 units per acre for development on a Natural Environment Lake. The DNR has stated that the proposed subdivision will be held to the State Shoreland Regulations. The City is currently in negotiation with the DNR, as part of the Shoreland Ordinance update, to allow a density greater than the existing State Regulations in the City's Shoreland District. However, until the City formally adopts the amended Shoreland Ordinance, the State can pose its regulations. Building Setbacks. To ensure compatibility with adjacent uses, all R-4 perimeter setback requirements should be maintained. As shown below, all exterior setbacks comply with R-4 standards. Front Yard Side Yard Nat. Env. Lake Required Proposed 40 feet 70 feet 20 feet 45 feet 100 feet 170 feet Section 6, Subd. 8.E of the Zoning Ordinance stipulates no structures maybe closer than 36 feet to another building. The proposed building placement conforms to this separation requirement. Building Design. Prior to final project approval, "typical" building elevations and floor plans should be submitted which identify structure height, finishing materials, and proposed dwelling unit areas. All dwelling units must meet minimum floor •Area requirements stipulated in the Ordinance. Streets. Condominiums within the proposed subdivision will gain access off of an extension of existing Stage Coach Trail. The developer is proposing an interior street arrangement off of Stage Coach Trail that will consist of private streets. Section 302.03 (10) of the Lino Lakes City Code specifically prohibits installation of private streets, however, under the PDO private streets may be allowed. In 1992, the City granted approval of private roadways within the Lino Lake Cottages development. However, Lino Lake Cottages is an elderly development which did not expect much traffic. The purpose of utilizing private streets in this instance, is to reduce the right-of-way area in order to increase the number of housing units on site. The proposal is for three main interior streets to gain access off of Stage Coach Trail. These roadways are to be paved 32 feet wide from curb -to -curb. Additional roadways will be constructed off of these three main roads and will function as driveways and be constructed 28 feet wide from curb to curb. 6
