16 Development Opportunities on City-Owned Land | Lake Elmo, Minnesota <br />of small-lot single-family housing units. <br />Using a 40-foot-wide configuration that <br />would run approximately 115-feet deep, <br />44 smaller homes on smaller lots could fit <br />on the site and be served by a central alley <br />running behind the homes. These smaller <br />housing types could be a welcome <br />alternative in a community that is known <br />for its one- to three-acre lots. Empty- <br />nesters and young families alike might <br />appreciate the opportunity to own a home <br />that does not come with full days of lawn <br />maintenance each week. <br />• Single-family homes. Along the northern <br />end of the site, the panel envisions that <br />more traditional single-family homes <br />could sit on 80-foot-wide lots that could <br />be separated from the established <br />neighborhood to the north by a 50- to 75- <br />foot landscaping and tree buffer. <br />Phasing Development <br />Phasing development across the three <br />parcels will largely be driven by utility access <br />and road access. Once those foundational <br />infrastructure needs have been addressed <br />and are in place, development can begin <br />nearly anywhere across the three parcels. <br />The size of the parcels and the potential <br />development scenarios also mean that <br />several developers could be working <br />concurrently in multiple areas on the site. <br />(top) Multifamily housing would work well near the center of Parcel 3. (middle) Single-family homes and townhomes would <br />also work well on the site as would (bottom) smaller homes on narrow lots like these new homes in Nashville, Tennessee, <br />which are served by rear alleys and garages. <br />SO <br />U <br />R <br />C <br />E <br />?
