and Terrace Drive, completing the necessary water loop. Storm sewer catch basins will be provided within the gutters. Storm water will be directed to the pond to the south. Water and sanitary sewer for the row town homes will be provided from the main line installed within the roadway of Arona Street. Storm sewer will include catch basins along the west side of the drive lane, which eventually drains into the existing pond. Water for the senior cooperative will be provided from the main line installed within Terrace Drive, while the sanitary sewer will directly tap into the existing metropolitan interceptor line running directly adjacent the south side of the structure. Storm sewer for the senior cooperative will be addressed with catch basins within the parking lot connecting eventually to the pond. 5.10 Public utilities have also been designed for the east/west street serving the single family homes. City easements are required for sanitary sewer, storm water, and water lines to ensure access by the City for maintenance. As is typical throughout the City, only the main line (not the stub into each single family lot) will be the responsibility of the City. 5.11 The remaining utilities, such as electricity, cable, telephone, and natural gas, will be designed and coordinated through the Public Works Department to be underground, and utilize a joint trenching system where applicable. Further, all transformers must be identified on a plan, prior to final approval, so that adjustments to proposed locations can be sought to eliminate possible unsightly locations. PARKLAND: 5.12 The Arona Hamline Neighborhood Master Plan required that the redevelopment project provide a neighborhood park with recreational amenities. Through the RFP process, the City Council established a minimum size for the park. The park has also received reviews by the Park Commission and staff. The proposal submitted by United Properties includes a north end park that is an "L" shape design that abuts the existing single family homes along Centennial Drive and the proposed single family homes and the senior cooperative. 5 .13 The park will include a small youth baseball field and a basketball court. SINGLE FAMILY HOMES: 5.14 As part of the intergenerational theme for the Arona Neighborhood, the proposal by United Properties includes seven smaller single family home sites located between the park and senior cooperative. Each lot will be approximately 45 feet wide by 90 feet deep (4,050 square feet) and will have a single driveway access on to the public street. 5.15 The minimum "General Concept Plan" established setbacks are as follows: A front yard setback (south) of 20 feet; a rear yard (north) setback of 20 feet; and an interior side yard setback of 5 feet. Cars parked in the driveways will not block streets. Because of their small size, no RV storage or accessory buildings will be allowed on these lots. 5.16 Two of the seven total single family homes will be built by Habitat for Humanity. These homes will be of the same style and quality of materials as the other homes. PF3457 - ReA Final Plan and Plat Approval - 061603 Page 4 of 9
