Highpointe Crossing - 2298 Inwood Ave N – Lake Elmo – Preliminary Plat Narrative <br />February 26, 2026 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />G - Comprehensive Plan <br />As mentioned in the background section above the property we are developing is guided Residential <br />Single Family (RSF). This land use combines Rural Single Family and Residential Estate land uses. We <br />have been told that the City intended to create a new zoning district to best fit this guiding but that <br />never happened. We tried using the OP-PUD but could ultimately not get a community septic system <br />approved by the state so now we are following the Residential Estate zoning which is at the lower end of <br />the density range allowed within RSF. The allowed density range within RSF is 0.1 to 2.0 units per acre. <br />Our proposal is 0.25 units per acre. <br />H - Zoning <br />The property is currently zoned Rural Residential. We are requesting a rezoning to Residential Estate <br />Zoning. <br />I - Residential Estate Lot Standards <br />Our Preliminary Plat complies with all of the Residential Estate Zoning Standards with one minor <br />exception for the existing farmstead and garage where a front yard setback variance is needed. The lot <br />standards are listed on the following page. <br />
