NOTE: if providing flexibility to this requirement is not available to the Developer, alternative <br />solutions to meet this requirement will be explored. Examples include utilizing a flat roof. The <br />developer is proposing a pitched roof to better compliment the surrounding single family <br />residential neighborhoods. <br />BUILDING SETBACKS <br />Based on Developer's review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the R4 Multiple Family District requires <br />the following minimum building setbacks: 40' front yard, 30' rear yard, 10' side yard, 40' side yard corner. <br />The proposed project includes building setbacks that well -exceed the City's required minimums —please see <br />enclosed site plan for details. The Developer does not believe a deviation to City Zoning Code for minimum <br />building setbacks is required. <br />NOTE: this site is also encumbered by the City's Shoreland Overlay District. Said district requires a <br />minimum building setback from streets and highways of 40'. It is the Developers interpretation that <br />this proposed project complies with said section of City Zoning Code. <br />PARKING <br />Based on Developer's review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the R4 Multiple Family District requires <br />the following minimum parking provisions: 1.1 per studio, 1.1 per 1-bedroom, 2 for 2-bedroom. The finalized <br />unit mix and parking count for this project has not been determined. The following is the current <br />approximate assumption. The Developer will update/finalize within the next submittal. <br />Example based on 124 Units %of Units # of Units City Reg Stalls Proposed <br />Studio/ 1 Bbd Proposed = 28% 35 38.5 xx <br />2 Bbd 3 Bbd Proposed = 72% 89 178 xx <br />216.5 216 <br />The Developer does not believe a deviation to City Zoning Code for minimum parking stalls will be <br />required. <br />VEHICLE ACCESS <br />Based on informal input obtained from two neighborhood meetings RE this proposed project —the developer <br />believes access should come from County Highway 96 exclusively —and no access to this proposed project <br />shall be allowed internally, through the existing North Heights Lutheran Church campus (to Snelling Avenue). <br />In an effort to accomplish said goal, the Developer has made the following adjustments to the proposed site <br />plan: <br />• The apartments parking lot, and the North Heights Lutheran Church parking lot, are now separated <br />by a physical barrier (raised boulevard with landscaping). <br />• Access to the apartments garage and apartments surface parking lot are located at furthest northern <br />possible location —against County Highway 96. <br />• Provisions of exiting restrictions have been added to both apartment exit points. The developer has <br />added: a left turn only arrow to be painted on the pavement, at both apartment exit points; a no <br />right turn sign has been added at both apartment exit points; concrete curbing will be bumped (as <br />much as allowed by City Engineer) to help force left only exits —and help physically restrict right -out <br />exits —at both apartment exit points. <br />• Developer further proposes a restrictive "pork chop" median at the Snelling Ave access to prevent <br />right -turn movement when exiting the church's property. <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />
