n COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 1995 Ordinance. Therefore, it will be treated under the State Shoreland requirements which are more restrictive than the Lino Lakes Shoreland Ordinance. A concept plan was presented to the Planning and Zoning Board. This board requested that the developer present a plan showing the subsequent phases. The-- plan submitted by the developer shows subsequent phases in a darker color. A proposed commercial development is shown in the southwest corner of the proposed development. The area is designated in the 1990 Comprehensive Land Use Plan for multiple family development. The proposal is consistent with the 1990 Land Use Plan and the current zoning which is R-4 which allows development for multiple family development up to 15 units per acre. However, the Shoreland Overlay District significantly reduces the site' s density potential . Mr. Brixius gave a background on this matter. The original proposal did not meet the conditions of the Zoning Ordinance and did not meet all City and State Shoreland Requirements. A second proposal was submitted that complied with the State Shoreland requirements but staff noted 18 different items that needed- attention before approval could be given including the dedication of three (3) acres of park land and compliance with required setbacks. The Planning and Zoning Board tabled action on this request until a final drawing was submitted meeting all of the requirements . Mr. Brixius explained that the applicant responded to the Planning and Zoning Board' s recommendations and presented a third drawing which is being addressed this evening . This proposal is being treated as a site plan since it is a condominium ownership. People will buy the units but will own the entire property in common. A condominium is not a type of housing unit, it is a legal form of real estate ownership. A townhome is a type of housing with shared walls and exterior exits for all units . Separate ownership for each townhouse unit is being proposed for this development. The ownership is consistent with the proposal . The first phase complies with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) density standards . The applicant is proposing 139 units for the second phase. The current regulations indicate that 136 units would be the maximum. Land at the southwest corner of this area would have to be added to get the additional three (3) units. The building elevations are 32 feet and meet the setback requirements, the buildings meet the 30 foot setback from a public street. Parking stalls along the circular road could be granted a variance up to five (5) feet provided that adequate landscaping around the parking stalls be installed to break up PAGE 13
