• • Planning & Zoning Board December 11, 1996 Page 6 to identify issues that need to be addressed. Rice Creek Watershed District is exploring changing control requirements from the rate of flow to volume. Chair Schaps declared the public hearing open at 7:02 p.m. Mr. Patrick Simon stated that with 42 percent of green space, the project will be attractive. Twin City Townhomes is an award winning builder, and he believes the City will be proud of this development. He thanked staff and the Board for their cooperation and support, especially with the modification for the county road access agreement. Mr. Robinson made a MOTION to approve the preliminary plat and planned development, subject to the conditions and recommendations outlined within the staff report, with the exception of condition No. 11. He was supported by Herr. Motion carried unanimously, 7 -0. B. 96 -35 CUP, Hokanson Development, Marshan Condo's, PUBLIC HEARING, Aqua Lane and Lake Drive Mr. Brixius stated that in June 1995, the City formally approved the Marshan Lake Condominiums located at Highway 49 and Aqua Lane. The initial phase was approved as a condominium project under state shoreland regulations. Part of that approval included additional buildings identified as a second phase. The total number of units that could be accommodated under the new shoreland regulations would be 136. The plan shows 139 units, but five will not be built. The total of 134 units complies with the density standards for the shoreland regulations and is consistent with the previously approved concept plan. Under shoreland regulations, a multiple family development is considered through a PDO. The total size of the site is 30.5 acres with 4.4 acres of street easements and 3 acres of dedicated park land. There is a 5 -acre portion proposed for commercial development, but there has been no commercial application up to this time. The maximum density is 15 units per acre, and this development is 7 units per acre. The building elevation and requirements and parking are the same as in the first phase. Mr. Brixius explained that the City PDO ordinance requires that 50 percent of the project area be open space. With the application of this performance standard, the 35 percent impervious surface standard for condominium development does not apply. This interpretation has been verified by the DNR. He does not believe this additional development will be harmful to water quality and will be in accordance with the criteria of the Lino Lakes Water Management Plan. Staff is recommending approval with the following conditions: • 1. Phase II structures are found to comply with applicable R -4 District height requirements.
