City Council Meeting May 21, 2024 Page 2 PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Overall Plat Summary: Gross Site Area - Total 7.56 acres Wetland Area 0.0 acres Arterial ROW 0.0 acres Net Site Area - Total 7.56 acres Proposed Units 48 Net Density 6.35 units/acre The calculation of net density in this case does not allow for netting out any area of the parcel and is therefore the ratio of proposed units to total site area. The Metropolitan Council determines net density through netting out wetlands and water bodies, dedication for designated arterial right-of-way, wetland buffers, public parks and qualifying preserved open space. Final Plat Conformance The proposed plan has not been changed from the Preliminary Plat and Planned Unit Development approval. It is therefore generally consistent. A review of the conditions of approval from the Preliminary Plat and PUD are provided in this report. Environmental Review. The entire Village Area was subject to an Alternative Urban Area Review (AUAR) when the area was brought into the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). The AUAR was updated in early 2022 as required. No further environmental review is required. The AUAR Fee will be required to be paid prior to release of the final plat. PUD Minimum Requirements and Objectives: The City reviewed the Lake Elmo Townhomes 8 project and found that it was consistent with the criteria and objectives established for a Planned Unit Development. The proposed plans are consistent with those approved during the preliminary plat review process. Comprehensive Plan: The proposed land use, residential, is consistent with those allowed in the Village-Mixed Use future land use category. The proposed density, 6.35 units/acre is within the allowed range of 5-10 units per acre. Site Plan Review: The proposed development has a combination of two-unit buildings, four-unit buildings and a six-unit building. The proposed land use also required a Conditional Use Permit in the V-MX district which was permitted through approval of the PUD. The townhome project will look and feel like a single family attached development, but because it’s rental on one-lot it will function like multi-family development under the city code. The table on the following page summarizes the conformance of this project with the bulk standards established for the V-MX Zoning District.
