The plat should be revised to comply with the City's block length standard. The Planning Commission should also discuss the need for a pedestrian way through this extraordinarily long block. The concept plan illustrates extraordinarily long block lengths along the future extension of Street B. These block lengths may be warranted due to the natural constraints of this land. The developer should, however, illustrate pedestrian way connections between the proposed plat and these future residential areas. 3. Lots. The applicant is requesting a R -1 Zoning District. The lot size performance standards for this district are as follows: Interior Corner Lot Area 10,800 sq. ft. NA Lot Width 80 feet 100 feet Section 3, Subd. 3.A.1 of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot provide a minimum lot area exclusive of floodplains, wetlands, watercourses, waterbodies, or street rights -of -way. All the gross lot areas within the plat meet or exceed the R -1 lot area and lot width standards of the R -1 Zoning District. The developer should also illustrate the net lot area of each lot exclusive of wetlands. Our cursory review of the plat raises issue as to whether the following lots have sufficient buildable contiguous lot area to meet Code: Phase I: Phase II: Block 1, Lots 3 and 4 Block 3, Lot 5 Block 4, Lot 1 Similar concerns exist with the concept plan for the area beyond the preliminary plat. Lots north of Street B extension and Tots west of the Street D extension do not provide sufficient buildable lot area to satisfy the City's standards. The street layout within the preliminary plat will influence the lot design in future additions. This issue requires attention at this time. Section 3, Subd. 3.S.5 of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance requires the establishment of buffer yards where subdivisions abut major highways, arterials and collector streets. Lot 6, Block 3 and Lot 3, Block 4 in Phase II should be widened to provide land area for a landscaped buffer yard. A detailed landscape plan must be provided to illustrate how the plat will be screened from I -35E and Otter Lake Road. Page 8
