street y stem would be private streets connected to Lexington <br /> Avenue, Grandview Avenue, and the Lovell Avenue cul-de-sac. <br /> Two of the 62 units would take direct access onto Grandview <br /> Avenue with the remaining 60 units being divided between the <br /> Lexington Avenue access point, the Grandview access point, and <br /> the connection to Lovell Avenue. Nine buildings are being <br /> proposed for the site, four 4-unit buildings, one 6-unit <br /> building and 4 10-unit buildings. The four 10-unit buildings <br /> are in the southern portion of the site along the State Highway <br /> 36 right-of-way a The regaining 22 units are spread throughout <br /> the northern half of the site in a much less dense fashion. <br /> 3 * Corn rehensive plan & Zoning Code Reference-&-i <br /> The site is currently guided High Density Residential , Lim i ted <br /> Business, and zoned R-3 and R-1. The request would rezone the <br /> property to PUD and the use would be for townhouses* For the <br /> purposes of analyzing the PUD, our comparison will be to the R- <br /> 3 District, since the proposed uses are allowed as permitted <br /> uses in the R-3 District, <br /> A comparison to the R-3 standards is as follows <br /> R-3 Standard Grandview Townhomes <br /> SetbackSl <br /> Front 301 minimum 3 0 ' min. for all new bui ldings <br /> Side 15 ' minimum All buildings comply <br /> Rear 301 or 34 height All buildings comply <br /> Height 30 ' or 3 stories Two stories <br /> Density 17 units per acre 10. 6 units per acre <br /> Floor Area <br /> Ratio 0. 5 a imum 46 <br /> Parking 2 spaces per unit, 2 enclosed spaces per unit <br /> 1 space must be plus 31 additional spaces <br /> enclosed <br /> The ro osed use of the site as townhomes would be appropriate <br /> p p <br /> site the history of city approvals, <br /> based on the site location � <br /> The question would be whether or not the number of units, as <br /> des igned, is appropriate for the site, As can be seen from the <br /> comparison to the R-3 standards, the project meets or exceeds <br /> the standards. The proposed design, 'with back to back <br /> townhomes, results in a reduced amount of green space, and a <br /> relatively high mount of hard surface area, Additional design <br /> detail is necessary to determine if storm water ponds will meet <br /> Metropolitan Council standards. Additional information is <br /> necessary to determine traffic impacts of the proposal , <br />
