Subd. 11. Drainage SECTION 4. DISTRICT PROVISIONS Subd. 1. General Zoning District Provisions SECTION 6. RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT Subd. 6. R-4, High Density Residential District SECTION 9. SPECIAL DISTRICTS Subd. 3. PUD, Planned Unit Development District BACKGROUND & REQUEST: 1\4�1- s OCT 282003 czy Request of an amendment to the 2002 City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan to allow the development of the last phase of Marshan (a.k.a. the "Marshan Lake Townhomes") comprising 46 dwellings. The approximate four -acre site is situated on R4 High - Density Residential zoned lands, portions of which were previously developed as an attached 134 unit residential development. Currently the site is partially developed with 2 older single family homes and number of out buildings. The site is a prime in -fill site surrounded by commercial developments to the south, phase one of Marshan townhomes to the east and north (Tier 3 density of 14.6 units per acre), higher density Wenzel townhomes to the west (density of 10 units per acre), and existing residential further to the west and north. The site is constrained by several existing features including Lake Drive, an arterial street, to the west and Aqua Lane to the south. These constraints prohibit street connections to the west by limiting potential connection locations to Lake Drive. To the north, is a 5 acre park (3+ acres dedicated as part of Marshan townhomes) and pedestrian connections to Marshan Lake to the east. As part of the initial review process, the site noted the future continuation of Marshan with access onto an existing internal street. This proposed four -acre extension of Marshan has been designed to include structures with ample open space separating each structure. Upon development of this tier, the site will be fully developed. The overall goal of the project has been to design an attached single - family complex that meets or exceeds the intent of many of the principles and policies of city plan. The project has been designed around an intemal drive, built to City standards, parklands previously dedicated as part of it's initial filing, Marshan Lake and storm water improvements all built as part of the initial •Marshan development. The plan also includes pedestrian walks with lawn and trees. The continuation of the last phase of Marshan includes attached single - family residential buildings similar in scale and setback to developed Marshan town homes. Marshan was initially developed with tiered density allowances . of up to fifteen (15) dwellings per acre as allowed by the R4 zone, this phase will have an approximate density of eleven (11.35) dwellings per acre. Thereby, with just over eleven dwelling units per acre, it complies with current R4 zone Marshan Second Comprehensive Plan Amendment, CUP, PUD and Site Plan Request October28, 2003 2
