WS — Item 2 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item 2 Date: May 2, 2010 To: City Council From: Paul Bengtson Re: Nadeau Farm Development — Marcel Eibensteiner Background Royal Oaks Realty owns approximately 110 acres of land located between 20th Avenue, Cedar Street, 35E, and the Birch Street alignment (see attachment 1). The site will undergo some regulatory changes when the 2010 Comprehensive Plan is adopted, as is shown on attachments 2 -4, and in the table below: * Until the 2010 Comp Plan draft is adopted and the entire site is guided Medium Density, nothing can be developed on the site guided as Low Density Unsewered. Additionally, the transportation and utility systems must be considered as part of any development that occurs on this site to make sure proper connection and circulation can be achieved throughout this entire area of the city (see attachments 5 & 6). Marcel Eibensteiner, representing the property owner, has approached the city to discuss the potential of developing a portion of the site with detached single family dwellings (Phase 1 as depicted on attachment 1). In order to achieve the 4.0 units per acre required in Medium Density, the lot sizes will need to be substantially smaller than our current smallest zoning district, R -1 (Single Family Residential). The R -1 (Single Family Residential) district currently allows 80 foot by 135 foot lots with a minimum area of 10,800 square feet. Requested Council Direction Whether staff should or should not draft language for a new residential zoning district with lot sizes that would allow detached single family development to occur within lands guided Medium Density.
