Cul -De -Sac Radius Paved Surface Radius 50 feet 40 feet 60 feet 46 feet As shown above, the right-of-way width, paved surface width, cul-de-sac radius and cul- de-sac paved surface radius do not meet the City's minimum requirements. However, given the development constraints posed on the subject site, due to limited access availability, the shape and size of the subject lot, and the structure setback requirements, flexibility in these requirements may be justified. The street construction plans have been reviewed by the Public Works Director and City Engineer and found to be acceptable. Building Setbacks. To ensure compatibility with adjacent uses, all R-3 perimeter setback requirements should be maintained. As shown below, all existing roadway setbacks comply with R-3 standards. However, proposed setbacks to the proposed road do not meet the required setbacks, therefore, flexibility through the PDO is being requested. Required Proposed Streets (Arterial Roadway) 35W & Apollo Drive 40 feet 40 feet Streets (Residential) Lea Court 30 feet 30 feet Proposed Cul-de-sac 30 feet 10 feet (13 units) As previously discussed, with the elimination of one unit, and the realignment of the internal street (Exhibit E), the structure setbacks can be increased to 20 feet from the street right-of-way, which provides additional open space along the roadway, and room for parking in front of the garage. Additionally, the Zoning Ordinance allows a deck encroachment with the street setback up to twenty (20) feet from the lot line, provided the deck does not extend above the height of the ground floor level. The applicant is proposing an on grade patio. Off -Street Parking. According to Section 8, Subd. 1.(2)(B), an off-street parking requirement of two and one-half spaces per unit is required in the R-3 Zoning District. As calculated below, the site plan as submitted, requires a total of 80 spaces. Units 32 Ratio 2.5 per dwelling unit Parking Requirement 80 The proposal illustrates 64 garage stalls, 15 driveway stalls, for a total of 79 off-street parking stalls, which does not meet the minimum requirement. However, if one unit is eliminated from the site plan, 78 spaces would be required, therefore, the parking arrangement would meet the minimum requirement. 6
