February 9, 2021 Page 6 minimizing the paved parking areas from the front yard space. The face of the building is approximately 220 feet from the faces of the residential buildings that line the west side of Stinson Parkway. The nearest parking/drive aisle is approximately 25 feet from the front property line, 35 feet from the public sidewalk, and 60 feet from the nearest drive lane of Stinson Parkway. Typical front setbacks in the R-4 District would be 30 feet at minimum. To the north (also single family), the building setback is approximately 110 feet from the north property line, which is the south boundary of the alley serving those properties. The building would be approximately 135 feet to the south edge of the garages adjoining the alley, and approximately 240 feet or more to the nearest wall of the residential structures themselves. The applicants have proposed a grass-pave emergency drive access along the north front of the building to a point adjoining the alley and the rear parking area, an employee parking lot of 20 spaces. The employee lot accesses the shared drive, and would utilize the Kenzie Terrace access point to the south. No traffic is able to use the alley, with exception of emergency vehicle use under emergency conditions. Otherwise, the alley would be closed via a gated access restriction, again with grass pave surface. Site Access. Front door access to the property is planned for the existing curb cut from Stinson Boulevard. The driveway serves a covered front entry canopy area, with guest parking arrayed around the recessed area. This drive then also accesses a parking area of 16 spaces in front of the south wing, then provides access to the underground parking garage. From this point, the driveway continues to the east to join the shared driveway leading to Kenzie Terrace. From the rear shared private road, access is available to the northerly employee parking area, as well as the loading location for food service deliveries. The applicants have indicated that trash handling equipment will be located in the underground garage, with access to the equipment a part of the design of the garage entry. Access-related issues should be subject to further comment and recommendation by the City Engineer. Setbacks. The PUD zoning district does not impose specific structure setback requirements. For reference purposes however, the following table illustrates setback requirements imposed in the City’s R-4 Multiple Family Residential zoning district (commonly applied to high density residential housing projects) and setbacks proposed by the applicant: R-4 District Setback Proposed Setback Front Yard 30 feet 90 feet Side Yard 15 feet 110 feet (north) 110 feet (south) 54
