<br />. Develooment: 'Ihe development activity which is the prina:ry area of concem is <br /> the addition of the 34 units lakeside. This addition will be consistent with <br /> the existing structure in several areas. It will be one story, similar brick <br /> pattem/architecture and conform to the sarre general setback frc:m the lake as <br /> the rerrainder of building. The Alzheimer addition will also use similar brick <br /> pattem and architecture. <br /> Setbacks: The ordinance requires a 75' setback frc:m Lake Johanna, At its <br /> closest p::>int, the proposed building is 90 feet from the lake, <br /> The total area of the site is 985,694 square feet or 22.63 acres. The total <br /> building coverage including parking lots is 231,025 or 23. 4'lr The maximum lot <br /> coverage by structure in an R-2 district is 25%. If the parking lots are not <br /> included as part of the coverage, the total falls to 145,200 square feet or <br /> 14.7%. <br /> 'Ihe Planning Ccmnission should note that these figures are different than <br /> included in the original rep::>rt. uion verifying the applicants engineer's <br /> figures, a substantial mistake was found in building coverage. This was <br /> confirmed by the architect. <br /> A. Building Coverage <br /> 1. Existing SO Fcotaqe ~ <br /> a, McKnight/Lakeview Catplex 130,000 sq ft 13.2% <br /> b.

'Ihe current development consists of 318 units, with a resident <br /> p::>pulation of 386 or 1.21 persons per unit. Uhder the ordinance, the maximum <br /> dwelling units per net acre should not exceed 5.5. If each of the 318 units <br /> were considered dwelling units, the units per net acre w::>uld be approxirrately <br /> 14,1. The cu=ent eorrprebensive plan details that the maximum density in an <br /> r-2 district should be 3.96 dwelling units/net acre, With 330 units on 22.63 > <br /> acres, the ccmpleted project will have dwelling units per net acre of <br /> approxirratel y 14,5, -- <br /> The 1990 census showed that the City average of people per unit was 2.48. <br /> This is significantly higher than the 1.21 figure aI:ove, The development <br /> intensity of this site has been an issue in the past, Since the cacplex <br /> consists of a variety of dwelling types and support facilities, it is <br /> difficult to apply the density requirements of the 2'Dning Ordinance. Many of <br />. the units within the institutional housing ccmplex do not, by definition and <br /> function, qualify as "dwelling units", Direct application of dwelling unit <br /> per acre requirerrents seem unrealistic. <br /> -- <br />
