3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FLEXIBILITY: <br />A PUD is also anticipated with this project. The anticipated requests to deviate from Zoning <br />standards are summarized below: <br /> <br />Rear-Loaded Townhome Flexibilities: <br />• Townhome plat may require PUD flexibility to allow units to be separately platted. <br /> <br />Front-Loaded Townhome Flexibilities: <br />• Request for front-loaded townhomes (garage with driveway on front facade) where the <br />City Code prohibits parking between the front façade and the street. <br />• Townhome plat may require PUD flexibility to allow units to be separately platted. <br /> <br />4 Story Senior Multifamily Lot Flexibilities <br />• None identified at this time, it appears possible for this element of the project to meet City <br />Standards. <br /> <br />3 Story Multifamily Buildings Flexibilities: <br />• None identified at this time, it appears possible for this element of the project to meet City <br />Standards. <br />50’ Single Family Detached Lot Flexibilities: <br />• Minimum Lot Area (6000 sq ft shown, MDR minimum is 7000 sq ft) <br />• Additional deviations could be requested in the form of setbacks, impervious, etc. <br /> <br />Given the conceptual nature of the proposal, it is possible that additional requirements for <br />flexibility to City Code might be requested or identified as more detail is provided. <br /> <br /> <br />DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: <br />The Limerick Village project would be Lake Elmo’s largest single residential development in <br />terms of units. This development, with 682 units, creates the potential for an estimated 1500-2000 <br />new residents. As a gateway to the community, site design and architectural elements will be <br />carefully reviewed against the City’s Code and Design standards. Considerations specific to each <br />area of the site are provided below: <br /> <br />Rear-Loaded Townhomes: <br />Rear-loaded townhomes are consistent with the City’s design standards. This area must consider <br />the high visibility along the Manning Avenue corridor to the east and must also be designed to <br />front Limerick Parkway on the west. Pedestrian connections and walkability should be reinforced <br />both within and around this property, particularly to the park. <br /> <br />Front-Loaded Townhomes: <br />City Code and design standards do not permit parking in the front yard area of attached <br />townhomes. It may be possible to double front the townhomes along Lilac Ave and 3rd Street on <br />the sidewalks/open space to their rear. <br /> <br />
