• Plowe Engineering, Inc. dated March 4, 2015 and received by the City on March 4, 2015 • EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated March 4, 2015 and received by the City on March 4, 2015 The Planning & Zoning Staff Report dated April 8, 2015 details the proposed project. The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on April 8, 2015. Residents that spoke during the hearing wanted to make sure the new homes were quality products, would not devalue their properties and that the exterior elevations were similar and complimentary to their units. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of the project with conditions as listed in Resolution No. 15-46. Summary of PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat Amendments 1. The one-story units have a larger building footprint than the two-story units, therefore; the preliminary plat needs to be amended to increase the base lot dimensions of Lots 4- 11. 2. The three -unit townhome on the north end of the site was originally proposed as three attached units and two-story. These units will now be detached and one-story. 3. The setback on the north perimeter will be amended from 30 feet to 25 feet to accommodate the single -level building footprint. The proposed building will be 29.1 feet from the property line. No other setbacks will be revised. Building Design Standards The Planning & Zoning staff report dated April 8, 2015 recommended that all new units have stone or brick on the front elevation extending from the ground to the roofline around the window to match the existing unit elevations. However, upon further review of the original elevation approvals from 2005, brick or stone were only required on the front from the base to the bottom of the window sill. This was recommended by the Planning & Zoning Board. Side and rear elevations shall also have stone or brick extending along the full base. The Board also recommended the addition of two more siding colors as approved by staff and full brick columns on the front elevations vs. the white pillars proposed by the developer. Shoreland Management Overlay District and Impervious Surface Coverage The property is subject to the Shoreland Management Overlay District because it is located within 1,000 feet of both Marshan and Rice Lake. Both lakes are considered natural environment lakes per the MNDNR. Impervious surface coverage of the development cannot exceed 35%. Due to the increase in the size of the floor plan of the single level structures, the impervious surface also increased. To mitigate the issue and maintain 35%, the developer shall install porous pavers in the driveways and sidewalks of Lots 1-15 and pervious sidewalks on Lots 20-21. 2
