Introduction On behalf of Hampton Companies, Landform is pleased to submit this application for a Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Plat to allow the construction of 14 single-family homes at 7590 201h Avenue in Lino Lakes. The current 5.15-acre parcel contains an existing home and numerous outbuildings. The site is surrounded by the Watermark PUD development by Lennar to the North, East and South. Our plan is to extend the existing street grid planned for the Watermark development and provide another housing option. We are excited about the improvements proposed for this site. Zoning Map Amendment (Rezone) In order to facilitate the development of this site, and to match the designation found in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for Lino Lakes, this parcel will need to be rezoned. The parcel is currently zoned as "R- Rural and we are requesting it be zoned to "R-2 — Two-family Residential'. The R-2 zone will allow us to develop this site in the density range found in the comprehensive plan and the existing I-35E AUAR over the area. The rezone to R-2 also more closely matches the PUD zoning and lot standards found in the surrounding Watermark development adjacent to our site. Preliminary Plat We are also requesting approval of a preliminary plat for a 14-lot subdivision with 14 new single-family homes and 1 outlot for stormwater management purposes. This plat would be an extension of the Watermark development that currently surrounds it, but with a different housing look and design. This plat would not be premature as it is easily served by existing utilities and surrounded by similar density and development. The site plan shows compliance with the R-2 zoning lot standards, and meets the other applicable landscaping, subdivision design and screening requirements. Below are some findings and important information about the plat: 14 new single family home lots that comply with the lot and bulk standards found in the proposed R-2 zone that would be developed at a density of 3.15 units/acre. We are close to the minimum density due to stormwater management requirements. Gross Area: 5.15 Acres — ROW to 20th Avenue: 0.7 Acres = Net Area: 4.45 Acres ii. 14 units / Net Area: 4.45 Acres = 3.15 units/acre (3.146) New dedicated ROW in addition to the existing easement for CSAH 45 (201h Avenue) to allow future road improvements and the extension of the existing trail on the west side. Additionally, this plat will remove a driveway onto the CSAH 45 (201h Avenue). Stormwater improvements with plans for rainwater reuse irrigation. Additional landscaping that takes advantage of the required number of trees from the Tree Preservation ordinance, and screening requirements between the rear of homes and the stormwater facilities to reduce noise and light impacts from CSAH 45 (20th Avenue). A Homeowners Association (HOA) is anticipated to be created for maintenance purposes of development wide facilities. Uniformed traffic access to and from CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) for the development is found in the extension of Osakis Street into the existing Watermark development. The 10th Edition ITE Manual stated that for Single -Family Detached Housing (210) use there is an average ADT of 9.43 trips per dwelling unit.
