2 <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Existing Site Conditions <br /> <br />The 10 acre gross acre site is addressed 2182 Cedar Street and is located east of NorthPointe <br />and west of I-35E. The site consists of a single family house, accessory buildings, open tilled <br />areas, undeveloped woodland and wetlands. The house and accessory buildings will be <br />removed. The existing septic system shall be removed and well capped. Topography is <br />generally flat with highest elevation at 922 ft. (north end) and lowest elevation at 914 ft. (south <br />end). Soils are clean fine to medium grain sand and are classified as hydrologic groups HSG A, <br />B and C. Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging from 2 to 4.5 feet. <br /> <br />Zoning <br /> <br />Current and Proposed Zoning <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R, Rural and will be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit <br />Development to allow for flexibility from the R-2, Two Family Residential standards in order <br />to support this type of single level life-cycle housing. This is consistent with the NorthPointe <br />2nd and 6th developments. A summary of the proposed PUD standards are summarized below <br />under Zoning Requirements. <br /> <br />Current Zoning R, Rural <br />Proposed Zoning PUD, Planned Unit Development <br />Current Land Use Rural Residential <br />2030 Future Land Use Medium Density Residential <br />(4.0 to 5.9 units per acre) <br />Utility Staging Area 1A=2008-2015 <br /> <br />Density <br /> <br />The site is guided for medium density residential development which requires a density of 4.0 <br />to 5.9 units per acres. The proposed net density is 4.0 units per acre which is consistent with the <br />Comprehensive Plan’s guided land use and density. Wetlands, parks and open space make up 2 <br />acres (20%) of protected open space. <br /> <br />The following chart implements Met Council’s formula for calculating net density. <br /> <br />Gross Area (acres) 10.00 <br />Wetlands & Water Bodies (0.99) <br />Public Parks & Open Space (1.01)
