Item 08D Page 2 of 11 Density 31.5 units per acre is the proposed density. As a PUD, a higher density may be approved. Without a PUD (R-4 district), the maximum density would be 17.4 units per acre, or 71 units for a property this size. The apartments will have an estimated 221 residents', including 20 school aged children2. Open Space' Usable Open Space is intended to be maintained for active or passive recreation (e.g. play area and/or woods). The proposed Landscape Plan identifies all non -pervious surfaces as Open Space, rather than that intended for recreation. Min Required Proposed PUD 625 sf per unit 461 sf per unit With the increased density and necessary parking, there are limits to how much land is left for open space. If the project were not a PUD, and the maximum 71 units built, about 1 -acre of open space would be required for the 4 -acre project. The project will add a sidewalk along County Road H2, and along the south property line. There is an existing sidewalk along Edgewood Drive, and a trail along Mounds View Boulevard. These are public sidewalks/trails, and will be maintained by the City. Exterior Lighting Glare from exterior lighting shall be limited to 1 foot-candle (fc) measured at the centerline of the street, and 0.4 fc measured from neighboring property lines. The lighting plan submitted does not include all of these boundaries (e.g. centerline of Edgewood Drive, County Road H2, and residential boundaries along Edgewood Drive. Lighting along the south property line adjacent to the neighboring apartment building exceeds the maximum light trespass by 3X (1.8 fc proposed). Staff recommends that this pole be eliminated, or an alternative fixture be considered. During the Planning Commission's June 19th meeting, the Developer stated that an adjustable box shade will be installed. The Developer will measure the amount of light trespass after the lights are installed, and will adjust the shade accordingly, to comply with the City Code. The project site includes existing street lights at the intersections of Co Rd H2 & Edgewood Dr, and County Road H2 & Mounds View Blvd. These will be kept as -is, as well as the ornamental lights along the Mounds View Blvd trail. Estimates based on Metropolitan Council estimates for persons per household, for multi -family dwellings, based on number of bedrooms per unit. Estimate based on Metropolitan Council estimates, using the 2017 American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample; 0-1 bedroom unit = 0.019491 children; 2 bedrooms = 0.29903 children; 3 or more bedrooms = 0.70972 children. 3 City Code, Section 1102.02, Subd 127 (Usable Open Space) The Mounds View Visiot_ A Thriving Desirable Commit,«iy
