City Code Section 1]60.06 Street Plan The Applicant proposes four separate driveway accesses on New Brighton Road for the four single-family residential lots. New Brighton Road is a Ramsey County roadway and the County has reviewed and approved the proposed plans. The Applicant is also required to dedicate 10,791 square feet of Right of Way along New Brighton Road to the County. All other required improvements, including sewer, water, utilities, and driveway connections to New Brighton Road will be constructed in accordance with the City's Subdivision Code.

District Provisions (R-2 Single Family Residential District) —Section 1320 City Code Section 1320.06 Structure Setbacks The minimum building setbacks in the R-2 District are 40 feet in the front yard, 30 feet in the rear yard, and a 5-foot minimum in the side yard, with both sides required to add up to a minimum of 15 feet. The preliminary plat submitted by the Applicant identifies potential building pads for each lot. The proposed houses would be constructed within the pad area. Based on this submittal, all setback requirements stated in the Zoning Code would be met by the proposed development. In addition, the Applicant incorporated feedback provided from a resident at the June 11, 2019 neighborhood meeting. The resident asked the Applicant if it were possible to increase the front yard setback from south to north to better match the character of the existing neighborhood. The Applicant reviewed the proposal and implemented the recommendation as shown on the submitted plan and below. The front yard setback to the dwelling units ranges from 40 to 60 feet. Front Yard Rear Yard Side Yard Lot (Feet) (Feet) (Feet) R-2 District Minimum 40 30 5 (Minimum)/ 15 (Total) 1 60 162 15.2 North /6.5 South =21.7 Total 2 50 172 10.9 North / 10.9 South =21.8 Total 3 40 288 10.9 North / 10.9 South =21.8 Total 4 40 235 7.5 (North)/ 14.2 (South) =21.7 Total *All setback distances are approximate. Structure setbacks would be verified at the time a Building Permit application is submitted Structure Coverage and Landscaped Lot Area The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-2 District is 25 percent. Based on the building pads shown on the submitted plans,the structure coverage on all four lots will be less than the 25% maximum lot coverage requirement. The minimum landscape lot area in the R-2 district is 65% of the total lot area. The definition for landscape lot area in the Zoning Code includes the surface area of any wetlands or ponding areas, and the portion of the existing pond on Lots 2, 3, and 4 is counted towards the minimum landscape lot area requirement. The Preliminary Plat includes the square footage of each lot above this wetland area. All four(4) would still meet the minimum landscape lot area requirements.
