City Council Meeting <br />March 21, 2023 Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />This type of housing does not appear to be very common in Lake Elmo, and <br />especially in Old Village area, therefore, this development adds a relatively <br />unique form of housing to the community. Rentals, which could become owner- <br />occupied, can serve as both transitional (step up or step down) and long-term <br />housing which costs less than a typical single-family home. <br />f. Preservation and enhancement of important environmental features through careful and <br />sensitive placement of buildings and facilities. <br />g. Coordination of architectural styles and building forms to achieve greater compatibility <br />within the development and surrounding land uses. <br />Architectural features do reflect those in surrounding development. Proposed <br />building materials and colors are of quality and reflect City standards. <br />h. Creation of more efficient provision of public utilities and services, lessened demand on <br />transportation, and the promotion of energy resource conservation. <br />The proposed layout of the development maximizes units on the public roadway. <br />The type of units and nature of the construction provides for more efficient use <br />of natural resources and energy efficiency. <br />i. Establishing measures to protect and preserve groundwater storage. <br />j. Allowing the development to operate in concert with a redevelopment plan in certain <br />areas of the City and to ensure the redevelopment goals and objectives will be achieved. <br /> <br />Required vs. Proposed V-Mx Bulk Standards <br />Cells in the ‘As Proposed’ column shaded in blue indicate a deviation from City Code. <br /> <br />Standards (105.12.790) V-Mx Requirement: <br />(Two-Family Dwelling) <br />As Proposed <br />Minimum Lot Area 4000 square feet 1736 sq ft | 2352 sq ft <br />Minimum Lot Width 30 feet 28 feet <br />Max Impervious Cover 75% 30.98% (less Road and Walk) <br />Minimum Setback - Front 25 feet 25 feet <br />Minimum Setback - Side 10 feet 10 feet (between buildings) <br />Minimum Setback - Rear 10 feet 25+ feet <br />Maximum Height 35 feet 27 feet at peak <br />Driveway Setback from <br />intersection <br />50 feet from r-o-w <br />Stillwater Blvd. <br />52 feet west driveway <br />61 feet east driveway <br />Driveway setback from side <br />lot line <br />5 feet 0 feet proposed for zero lot line <br />development. <br />Driveway Width 12-26 feet 36 feet proposed for zero lot <br />line (this represents two <br />combined driveways) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
