Fox Den Acres page 2 Location Existing Land Use Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site * vacant 40 acres: Low Density Sewered Resid.* 40 acres: R -1* North radio tower and other communication facilities Low Density Unsewered and Sewered Residential R -1 South wetland Low Density Unsewered Resid. Rural East wetland Low Density Unsewered Resid. Rural West single family residential Low Density Sewered Resid. R -1 *The majority of the site, a 40 -acre square, is guided for Low Density Sewered Residential land use (up to three units per acre), and is within the stage 1 growth area (pre2010). However, the proposed plat extends beyond the growth area, MUSA, LDSR area, and R -1 zone. Areas outside of the 40 acres is guided Low Density Unsewered Residential, zoned Rural. The following is a summary of the of the proposal's density: Gross Site Area 50 acres Upland Area 38 acres Total Lots 64 Gross Density 1.28 units /acre Net Density 1.68 units /acre Growth Management: MUSA Reserve: The comprehensive plan and the growth management policy establish a specific number of MUSA acres for residential growth for stage one (prior to year 2010). Most of the site is within the current MUSA. However, the plat extends beyond the existing MUSA on the east and south edges, so MUSA reserve allocation is needed for those areas. On the southwest edge, approximately two acres of the house lots are outside the MUSA and growth area (parts of Lots 9 -13, Block 4). On the eastern edge, about two acres of lots are outside the MUSA and growth area (Lots 23 -27, Block 4). Therefore, about 4 -5 acres of MUSA reserve would be needed. As shown in the table at the end of the report, MUSA allocation is possible in 2005 without exceeding the annual goal. Growth Management, Units/Year: The comprehensive plan and the growth management policy establish a specific number of dwelling units of residential growth for stage one (prior to year 2010). The goal is 147 per year. The City Council has the flexibility to exceed the limit by 20% (29 units) in a year without amending the comprehensive plan. The goal for 2004 has been exceeded and the additional 20% also has been used. This means that additional new development cannot be final platted until 2005. This applies to this project.
