LOT SIZE AND SETBACKS <br />During the design process in 2017, lot location, size, setbacks and backyard requirements were <br />negotiated and discussed. The layout of the development shown is the result of those discussions. <br />The developer is not proposing any changes to that layout with this application. <br />NOTABLE FACTS <br />In 2017, the City rezoned this parcel from R-1 to R-2. The City rezoned this parcel to accommodate <br />this proposed development and lot configuration which are the subject of this PUD request. <br /> <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the proposed plat configuration where homes and <br />roads follow the existing areas of high ground. <br /> <br />It is an important goal of the City to have an interconnected roadway system. The proposed street <br />within Peltier Estates does not connect to Brian Drive. Creating this connection through the <br />existing wetland would be cost prohibitive and resulted in large wetland impacts that could disturb <br />the natural function of the larger wetland complex. The developer proposes a trail and boardwalk <br />to create a pedestrian connection with the rest of the City, enabling residents to access nearby parks <br />and trails without walking on the county highway. The boardwalk connection minimizes wetland <br />impacts. <br /> <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br />nt Plan) guides the property for Low/Medium <br />Density Residential. The R-2 zoning district is a low-density residential district. These 24 lots are <br />consistent with the density aspect of the Comprehensive Plan and the R-2 district, given the <br />undevelopable wetland portions of this plat. The density of this plat will not change since the <br />wetlands will be protected by easement against future development. <br /> <br />
