These lots will be required to <br />remain an outlot such time as the cul-de-sac is removed. <br />Lot Configuration. The proposed lots appear to meet the City’s standards for area and width, subject to the <br />requested flexibility. The lot and street configuration also appear consistent with city standards for subdivisions <br />found in section 103.00.140. <br />Outlot A, containing the City Park area should be separated from the attached townhome common spaces where <br />a new privately owned outlot should be created. <br />Design and development standards. Specific site design and development standards for urban developments are <br />listed in City Code Sec. 105.12.740. The standards most relevant to this proposal include parking location (subp. <br />e), number of units per building (subp. g and k), and common open space (subp. k). This development is anticipated <br />to meet the applicable standards listed in this section. <br />The City of Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Building Standards, referenced in City Code Sec. 105.12.750, contains <br />no requirements for design and building materials on single family dwellings. For multifamily dwellings in the MDR <br />and HDR districts, limited standards are provided. The document lists guidelines for building design and materials, <br />roof design, lighting, and landscaping. Generally, the buildings and parking areas are sited in compliance with the <br />City’s standards. No building plans have been provided for the multifamily buildings. A condition of approval <br />includes the need to address these standards prior to approval of the plans for the multifamily sites. <br />Parking and Driveways. Section 105.12.410 requires two parking spaces per dwelling unit for single family <br />detached residences. One parking space per 1-bedroom unit, two spaces per 2-bedroom or larger unit are <br />required for single family attached dwelling units and multifamily dwellings. Senior housing requires one space <br />per dwelling unit. In addition, single-family attached dwellings shall provide an additional ten percent of parking <br />spaces for visitor parking, and multifamily dwellings shall also provide one visitor space per four units. two interior <br />spaces per dwelling unit, and two exterior spaces outside of the side yard setback for the principal structure. <br />The proposed development appears to meet the required parking for detached single family homes, including two <br />garage spaces and two driveway spaces. The development plans also indicate at least four parking spaces per <br />attached single family dwelling unit will be provided, and a total of 960 parking spaces for the multifamily buildings <br />will be provided. The number of spaces appears to comply with the ordinance requirements. Since there are no <br />detailed plans for the attached single family or multifamily buildings, these numbers will need to be verified when <br />specific development plans are proposed for those phases.
