Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br />Residential Development <br /> <br />Residential development at TCAAP is proposed to include single-family homes of varying lot <br />sizes, townhomes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing. It has been generally <br />assumed that density will be higher in areas closest to the town center and lower in the Hill and <br />Creek neighborhoods which will be predominantly single-family and townhomes. <br /> <br />Five development areas featuring various types and styles of residential development are <br />suggested. Note how development styles have changed from the early 1990’s (Centennial <br />Lakes) to today (Wooddale Station). Things to look for include: <br /> For single-family homes, what are front yard setbacks and landscaping? How <br />does that effect the pedestrian environment? <br /> For side-attached garages, are they even with or tucked back from the house <br />façade? <br /> Are townhomes single- (each unit has a front and back façade) or double-loaded <br />(back-to-back)? <br /> Is parking for townhomes and apartments attached to the side, tuck-under, or <br />underground? <br /> Are there courtyards, plazas, or open space provided around multi-family units? <br /> Is there variation or monotony among façades? <br /> Are there sidewalks? Are there off-street trails? <br /> <br />Wooddale Station <br />This neighborhood surrounds the planned southwest LRT station at Wooddale and West 36th <br />Street in St. Louis Park. Although the retail space is not fully leased yet, this area is expected to <br />be a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood once the transit investment occurs. The redevelopment <br />area provides good examples of recently-built, urban-style apartments and townhomes. <br /> <br /> <br />
