b c. Two-family units may be side-by-side with a party wall between them (twin) or located on separate <br />floors (vertical) in a building on a single lot (duplex). The per-unit measurements in this table apply to <br />twin units, whether on a single lot or separate lots. The standards for single -family detached dwelling <br />shall apply to a duplex containing two vertically-separated units on a single lot. If a driveway through <br />the front yard, along the side of building is proposed, the lot width shall increase by 10 feet or the width <br />of the proposed driveway, whichever is greater. See 105.12.820(b). <br />c d . In the case of single-family attached dwellings that are not situated on individual lots, minimum lot <br />size shall be applied to each unit as a measure of density; i.e., one unit per 2,500 square feet. This standard <br />is also used for multifamily dwellings. If a driveway through the front yard, along the side of the building <br />is proposed, the lot width shall increase by 10 feet or the width of the proposed driveway, whichever is <br />greater. See 105.12.820-830. Since dwellings are attached, interior side yards are not required. Buildings <br />shall have a minimum separation of 20 feet. <br />d e . Buildings up to 45 feet in height may be permitted as part of a PUD in the VMX district and V-MDR <br />districts. <br />e f. Side yard setbacks in the VMX district apply only along lot lines abutting residentially zoned parcels <br />or those parcels with residential uses as the sole use. <br />f g. Corner properties. The side yard facade of a corner building adjoining a public street shall maintain <br />the front setback of the adjacent property fronting upon the same public street, or the required front yard <br />setback, whichever is less. If no structure exists on the adjacent property, and provided required setbacks <br />are not otherwise stated herein, the setback shall be shown in the table. <br />g h. Properties zoned V-LDR abutting Stillwater Boulevard North (CSAH 14), Lake Elmo Avenue North <br />(CSAH 17) north of Stillwater Blvd (CSAH 14), and Manning Avenue North (CSAH 15) shall have a <br />minimum structure setback of 50 feet. <br />i. Rear loaded detached garages, that open onto an alley, are not required to have a setback from the rear <br />property line. <br />j. Below grade/basement dwelling units shall be considered the first floor. <br /> <br />105.12.800 Dimensional Requirements And Preservation Of Open Space <br />a) Averaging of lot area. When lots are clustered within a development to provide <br />common open space, the open space may be used to calculate an average density per <br />lot to determine compliance with the individual lot area requirements.
