Item 06A <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />• Property taxes • Environmental & <br />wildlife impacts <br />• Traffic study • Building codes (e.g. <br />storm shelter), <br />shared utility lines <br /> • School impacts • Wetland setbacks • Exterior storage <br /> • Property values • Guest parking • Guest parking <br /> • Water table elevation • Townhomes too <br />expensive <br />• Home financing <br /> <br /> <br />Analysis: <br />The Concept Plan does not have the level of detail as would be on a Preliminary Plat. Thus, <br />Staff is not able to provide a detailed analysis. This will be done at the Preliminary Plat stage, <br />including addressing public comments from the April 20th Neighborhood meeting. <br /> <br />This project will be a Planned Unit Development (PUD). With PUD’s, the intent is to allow <br />variations from the City Code in some areas, and excessive standards in other areas (give & <br />take). The overall intent of PUD’s is to obtain a better development than what would have <br />occurred if following the strict regulations of the City Code. <br /> <br />Topic Possible Variations <br />from City Code <br />Possible Variations <br />exceeding City Code <br />Density 1 Pulte (R-3 zoning): <br />Min 6,500sf p/unit (52 units) <br />required, whereas 4,536sf p/lot <br />proposed (75 units). <br /> <br />YardHomes (R-1 zoning): <br />Min 11,000sf p/unit (6 units) <br />required, whereas 5,445sf p/lot <br />proposed (12 units). <br /> <br />Building Setbacks 2 Front: 30’ required. <br />Pulte proposed 22’. <br />YardHomes unknown. <br />Setbacks from wetlands. <br />Home Size 3 Minimum 960 sf required for one- <br />story dwellings, whereas <br />YardHomes will be 640 - 825 sf <br /> <br />Parking 4 Minimum two spaces p/unit. <br />YardHomes shows 1 stall p/unit. <br />Putle exceeds parking <br />requirement. YardHomes <br />includes public parking at south <br />trailhead. <br />Landscaping TBD TBD <br />Architecture N/A TBD <br />Amenities N/A Restored wetlands. Public trail. <br />Other amenities TBD. <br /> <br />The project proposes to reconstruct Ardan Avenue to a three lane street, with two lanes <br />dedicated for the Yard Waste site (separates residential and yard waste traffic). Further <br />consideration should be given regarding internal circulation within the Yard Waste site, as well <br />as any mitigation or screening necessary between the townhomes and yard waste site. <br /> <br />1 City Code §160.056(B)(2)(c) AREA AND BUILDING SIZE REGULATIONS; Minimum lot area (R-3 district). <br />2 City Code §160.055(C) YARD REQUIREMENTS; Setbacks for Principal Buildings (R-1, R-2, R-3 districts). <br />3 City Code §160.056(D)(1) AREA AND BUILDING SIZE REGULATIONS; Minimum floor area per dwelling unit. <br />4 City Code §160.342 SCHEDULE OF OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS; Single-family and two-family dwellings.
