Planning Case MU2017-001 <br />July 19, 2017 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Gables, (20 units), limited to disabled tenants, and constructed in 2003. The HUD data <br />does not include individual units rented within a complex using housing vouchers (e.g. <br />Section 8). Thus, this information is limited to complexes in which all units are <br />subsidized. <br /> <br /> <br />Analysis <br />Plans were submitted on June 15th by the Community Development Dept. to: Public <br />Works Dept., City Attorney, SBM Fire Dept., Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), <br />Ramsey County Highway Dept., and Ramsey County Surveyor’s office. Comments <br />were received from Public Works, and RCWD. <br /> <br />An analysis comparing the proposed project to requirements of the Municipal Code is <br />summarized as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />PRELIMINARY PLAT OF A MAJOR SUBDIVISION <br /> <br />Lot dimensions <br /> Minimum Req. Proposed <br />Lot Area 2,500 sq ft p/unit 2,596 sq ft p/unit <br />Lot Width 100’ (varies) <br />Front Setback 5’* 7’ <br />Side Setback 20’ 21’ <br />Rear Setback 50’ 150’ <br />Max Height 3 stories 3 stories (46’) <br /> <br />* Within the County Road 10 Overlay District, the setback is <br />suggested to be not more than 5’ from the Mounds View <br />Blvd ROW. Within the R-4 district, the minimum front yard <br />setback is 30’. <br /> <br />For a visual comparison of what a 5’ setback looks like, <br />within the City of Fridley, Cielo Apartments on University Ave <br />& 61st Ave., has a building setback of 5’ from the property <br />line, 8’ from a sidewalk, and 33’ from the edge of the street. <br /> <br /> <br />Access & Traffic Access to the site is proposed onto Groveland Rd. A <br />previous sketch plan proposed a right-in/right-out access <br />onto Mounds View Blvd (CSAH 10) at the southwest corner <br />of the property, but was denied by Ramsey County. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2: Cielo Apartments, Fridley <br />(www.apartments.com)
