Rezoning The City is not in a position to rezone the property until the Comprehensive Plan has been approved and MUSA is available for allocation. Preliminary Plat: Lot Size. The minimum lot size of the R -1X District is 12,825 square feet of buildable land. All lots meet or exceed this provision. However, the buildable areas identified for Lot 7, Block 1 and Lot 6, Block 8 are, in part, bisected by wetland. While the calculations are consistent with the definition of buildable land, the intent is to insure a contiguous land area suitable for development. The applicant should demonstrate that the buildable area includes only that portion contiguous to the proposed house pads. Lot Depth. The minimum lot depth is 135 feet. Double frontage lots are required to have a minimum lot depth of 145 feet. All lots meet or exceed these provisions. Lot Width. The minimum lot width is 90 feet for standard lots and 115 feet for comer lots. All lots meet or exceed these standards with the exception of Lot 20, Block 8. This lot will need to be modified to conform to district standards. Outlots. There are six outlots included in the proposed subdivision. The outlots cover the majority of ponds and wetland areas. It is unclear whether these are intended for dedication to the City or proposed for ownership by a Homeowners Association. The applicant should be aware that any proposed dedication of outlots to the City would not be accepted in fulfillment of park dedication (payment in lieu) requirements. However, if the outlots are not intended for dedication to the City, they should be added to the adjacent proposed residential lots. Setbacks. The required setbacks established in the R -1X District are the greater of the following: 40 feet (Collector or Arterial Street), 30 feet (Local Street), 30 feet (front yard); 30 feet (rear yard), and ten feet (side yard - principal building). The lots have adequate dimensions to meet required setbacks. However, the proposed building pad for Lot 20, Block 8 encroaches into the 30 foot setback for a local street (side yard). This lot will need to be modified to conform to district standards: In addition, pond and wetland areas will mandate a significant setback between proposed building sites and existing homes on adjacent properties. However, the building pad for Lot 2, Block 4 extends to within 18 feet of .the existing wetland and proposed 100 year High Water Elevation. Every effort should be made to maximize the usable yard space on this lot. Street and Block Design. The site has two accesses, one from Birch Street at the existing Pheasant Hills Drive, and one at the Sherman Lake Road intersection. Street A extends southerly into the development from Birch Street, loops back and ties into Street B. Street B is proposed to extend from Birch Street to the easterly property line of the ' 2 a i *'�5,�`D Ys'n�� -t ` +V'i f :; i ? s CO s! r' Mer CtNc re_ M► Nt-TFAC t 1, Stoneybrook Page 3
