Page 5 5 back by Egg Lake. It also show a buildings pushed back towards Egg Lake and limited commercial buildings along Highway 61. The plan shows the development that creates a “main street” like a traditional downtown. The applicant has stated they would like to create a destination retail and restaurant project where the uses support each other. To create the traditional downtown feel, the some buildings get pushed towards Egg Lake. Staff is comfortable with the location of the buildings being towards Egg Lake since downtown design guidelines highly encourage the development of a traditional downtown. The proposed restaurants then can take advantage of the views of the lake on the east side of the building that includes most of the dining area and a deck. The layout of the property is different than what is shown on the downtown plan. The downtown plan is simply a guide to show how the area could be development and it is not a plan to dictate the exact placement of buildings or parking lots. The area proposed to be developed shows a park area. Several years ago the Parks Commission discussed this and stated that as long as there are active areas along the lake a park is not needed. They stated that Lions Park serves this area and would rather see a trail along the lake as shown the Comprehensive Plan. Building Coverage and Lot Coverage The ordinance limits lot area to be covered by a building to 60% and lot area to be covered by impervious surface to 90%. The proposed site plan complies with the coverage requirements. The applicant also meets the shoreland impervious surface requirements for the development. The applicant is proposing the following: Shoreland Required Proposed Maximum Impervious 25% 46% Density The maximum development density for a PUD in the Central Business (C-1) zoning district is 60 units per 1 acre. The applicant is not proposing any residential units at this time. Development Phasing The applicant is showing the development completed in 2 phases. However, with discussions with the applicant, the phasing plan could change overtime due to market conditions. The applicant is proposing the restaurant building on the Lot 1, Block 1 as the first phase/building of the project. The applicant has stated that everything will be built as shown in the first phase except the SW building. That area will be green space until the building is built. All of the 118 parking spaces shall be completed. The phasing plan does not indicate the amount of property that will be conveyed to the applicant with the purchase agreement.
