The information presented is meant to assist the City in the review of the applicant's submittal. The applicant is requesting to amend the comprehensive plan to allow the furthering of tiered residential development. This decision is driven by the applicant's desire to utilize four +1- acres of high - density lands, and a desire to maintain unique elements of the existing surroundings. By using the City's zoning ordinance, the proposed subdivision makes efficient and effective use of the land and is very compatible to the desirable characteristics and open space present on this and the immediate surroundings. Environmental protection, architectural guidelines, and land use controls would be assured through utilization of a homeowners association similar to existing Marshan Lake. The proposed subdivision includes 46 dwelling units, as compared to 38 dwelling units previous shown with the concept plan. The resulting change in total units was based on the utilization of a dwelling /building footprint similar is scale and aesthetics as the Bruggeman (Miller property) development recently approved by the city of Lino Lakes. As changes to plans are allowed through Article 2 Subd. 10.F.8.(e)(8) of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance the following summarizes the minor changes set forth: 1. The northern most driveway has been revised to its current position which is split between the two adjoining Tots; 2. The middle driveway have been combined into one, previously the driveway had a "Y° configuration. The previous drive alignment increased maintenance costs for snow removal and hardscape improvements to this site; 3. Units and drives -have been rotated to provide for a larger buffer and open space area between units and street; 4. All structures maintain same building footprint area; 5. Creation of a larger contiguous open space area; and, 6. Total area = 176,362 square feet, Impervious Area = 88,181 square feet, Driveways = 39,218 square feet, Buildings = 48,963 square feet, and Pervious Area = 88,181 square feet We understand that the City is encouraged to maximize density within the MUSA. Our amendment to the Comprehensive Plan greatly meets the general needs of the City, 9174 lsanti Street N.E., plaine, Minnesota 55449 (763) 786 -3130 • Fax (763) 784 -9136
