example, Stonemill Farms in Woodbury is a large residential development project consisting <br />mostly of single-family homes of varying lot sizes (lot widths range from 50 to 105 feet) and a <br />small amount of commercial and townhomes. The following chart shows the varying density <br />calculations for Stonemill Farms. <br /> <br />Table 1 Density calculations for Stonemill Farms, Woodbury <br />Metropolitan Council net density 1 4.2 du/ac 2 for single-family <br />Developer net density (lot size/units)3 2.7 du/ac for single-family <br />Gross density (includes townhomes and private open space; 2.1du/ac overall gross density <br /> <br />3 <br />excludes acreage for commercial, public school, and public park) <br />1 <br /> Provided by the Metropolitan Council <br />2 <br /> Dwelling units per acre (du/ac) <br />3 <br /> Calculated by staff based on developer data <br /> <br />The following chart shows density calculations for the residential development projects included <br />in the self-guided tour.
