• <br />• <br />• <br />FLOODPLAIN OVERLAY DISTRICT <br />The southeast quadrant of the site is located within a designated Zone A flood plain <br />district. The applicant shall be responsible for verifying the base flood elevations, and <br />demonstrating how the proposed floodplain fill areas will be mitigated on site. Both the <br />Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the City have specific permitting processes <br />for floodplain fill. Additionally, a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map <br />Revision (LOMR) will need to be obtained from the Federal Emergency Management <br />Agency (FEMA) for any alterations to the floodplain. <br />GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY <br />Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 3 -27), an annual average of 230 units per year over <br />each 5 year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any 1 year is allowed. At the end <br />of the 5 year phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next 5 years. <br />A phasing plan may be required to insure consistency with this requirement. <br />SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS <br />A PUD Development Stage Plan and Final Plan application are required. The PUD <br />ordinance details development requirements. It is also recommended that a neighborhood <br />meeting be held with adjacent property owners. Staff's preliminary design comments are <br />as follows: <br />Blocks <br />• Pedestrian ways are provided to break up long blocks and connect lots with open <br />space. <br />Lots <br />• The single family lots are 70 feet in width (85 feet corner) and 125 -130 feet in <br />depth. <br />• Lot areas shall consist of buildable land exclusive of utility transmission or water <br />course easements. <br />• Wetlands require 10 foot buffer. <br />• The proposed age restricted apartment is isolated among the single family lots. A <br />location near the townhomes and open space would lend to a natural transition <br />from low to high density development. <br />Streets & Alleys <br />CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) is an "A" Minor Arterial- Reliever and Cedar Street W is a local <br />road. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for a minor collector road extending <br />north -south through the development. Street A provides one access point onto CSAH 54 <br />(20th Avenue) and the second access shall be provided at either Cedar Street (north) or <br />
