<br />4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: <br /> <br />4.1 The proposed 24 unit townhome development would be 3.48 units per gross acre. The <br />current zoning of the three parcels is R-1, Single Family Residence District, which, as a <br />component of the planned unit development, will be changed and an underlying zoning of <br />R-2 Two Family Residence District established. The R-2 District allows for up to 4 units <br />per acre as does the Comprehensive Plan designation for this neighborhood area, Low <br />Density Residential, "LDR". Given the current R-1 zoning, the three existing parcels <br />could be combined and platted into 15 to 19 detached single family lots, with no <br />architectural controls and no common area. <br /> <br />4.2 The proposed use as townhomes is consistent with both the Comprehensive Plan and the <br />R-2 Zoning Code designation. The applicant estimates the value of the units (land, <br />building, improvements) at approximately $450,000 per unit, with annual property taxes <br />exceeding $4,000. <br /> <br />4.3 The proposed Stonecrest PUD creates two access points from County Road B. The first <br />(western) public road provides access to four units in a 26 foot wide road within a 50 foot <br />wide right-of-way and with one on-street parking area. The second (eastern) public road <br />provides to the remaining 20 units in a 28 foot wide road within a 60 foot wide right-of- <br />way with three designated on-street parking areas. <br /> <br />4.4 Both public street designs indicate curbed islands within the cul-de-sac bulb with a 28 <br />foot wide drive lane around each island. <br /> <br />4.5 The Stonecrest development will require extensive grading. The existing parcel drains to <br />the north, northwest and south. Drainage for the parcel upon development is proposed to <br />match existing contours along the periphery, except on the western edge adjacent to the <br />proposed storm water management pond. The grading/drainage plan for this <br />development will require the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed and the Roseville <br />Engineering Depmiment. Based on the proposed grading plan there will be 19 lookout <br />townhome units and 5 walkout townhome units. <br /> <br />4.6 City sanitary sewer and water mains will be extended from County Road B within the <br />proposed cul-de-sac streets with individual service connections to each residential lot. <br /> <br />4.7 Masterpiece Homes proposes varying setbacks for the Stonecrest development. These <br />setbacks are the distance separation from structure to the proposed road right of way line <br />are as follows: <br /> <br />Front Yard <br />II Units 15 24: setback of 10 feet. <br />III Unit 11: setback of 18 feet. <br />II Units 1 - 6 and 12: setback of 20 feet. <br />II Unit 7: setback of22 feet. <br />II Unit 8: setback of26 feet. <br />.. Unit 10: setbackof38 feet. <br />.. Units 9, 13 and 14: setback of 40 feet. <br /> <br />PF3357 RPCA PUD Concept 080702 Page 2 <br />
