At the meeting, the Developer provided a larger scale plan which has since been examined in detail. Staff has identified four bayhomes with setback deficiencies along 145 Street and Biscayne Avenue. An additional recommended condition of approval has been added to the resolution. The motion to recommend was not unanimous.

He introduced the Consulting Planner, Rick Harrison, to summarize the development plans. Rick Harrison provided background information on planning history, designs, and technology. He explained the nature of the coving design of development. The proposed single family lots would be a minimum size of 10,000 square feet and have increased front and side yards. The proposed bay homes are in a cluster development and would have three -stall garages. Pedestrian links are provided in the bay home area. Winding streets would provide a traffic calming effect. Mr. Pearson summarized the proposal for 86 single family homes and 45 bay homes. The single family homes are on deeper lots with larger front yards. Rear yard setbacks will be examined to ensure they meet city standards.

An additional challenge for this development is to work around the railroad spur. There are no proposals at this time for the commercial area of the site. Staff feels the proposal is the best development scenario for this site, taking into consideration the railroad spur and industrial use. The Fire Marshal may have recommendations which would influence the shared driveways. Chairperson Caspar opened the public hearing. There were no comments. MOTION by Carr to close the public hearing.

TO: Planning Commission FROM: Rick Pearson, City Planner DATE: September 19, 2001 RE: Progress Land Company Mixed Use Concept for "Rosewood" September 25, 2001 Regular Planning Commission Reviews CITY HALL 2875 — 145th Street West Rosemount, MN 55068 -4997 Phone: 651- 423 -4411 Hearing Impaired 651- 423 -6219 Fax: 651.423 -5203 BACKGROUND, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND CURRENT ZONING Last June, the Planning Commission reviewed a mixed -use development concept for this property that included additional commercial, industrial and residential uses. The City Council subsequently denied the concept based upon their unwillingness to amend the Comprehensive Plan. Most of the property is designated for Urban Residential use, however, seven acres between South Robert Trail and Business Parkway along CSAH 42 is designated for Commercial use. Most of the land is zoned R -1, Low Density Residential, consistent with the Urban Residential land use designation. The seven acres in the southwest corner is zoned C -4, General Commercial. CONCEPT — LAND USES The current phase focuses on residential uses. Two housing types are proposed — 85 single family houses and 46 "Bayhomes" which is a detached townhome sharing private driveways with other units. The rail spur effectively divides the property from north to south. Forty of the single - family homes are south of the spur, the balance of the housing is north. Thirty-four of the "Bayhomes" are located along the east and southerly edge of Geif Bros. The remaining 12 Bayhomes are in the northeast corner, backing up to the corner of 145t Street West and Biscayne Ave. The balance of the housing is single family residential. The future phases consist of the church site in the southeast corner, Commercial site in the southwest corner and the balance of the undeveloped property is labeled "exception ". ACCESS & CIRCULATION The street pattern is intended to be meandering, avoiding the character of a grid. Access occurs in three places, 145 Street, Biscayne and CSAH 42 via winding streets withcul -de -sacs. A small cul -de -sac opposite Biscayne Way is the exception. The intent is an efficient street pattern that attempts to eliminate the redundancies of a grid pattern. c September 25, 2001 PC Reviews — Progress Land Company "Rosewood" Concept Page 2. The single - family streets are all public, the Bayhome streets are private and would be maintained by homeowner's association. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS The single - family homes are conventional. They do have varying setbacks that accentuate the winding streets. All of the S. F. homes are expected to meet the minimum required setbacks. Advantages • Added to the varying setbacks, most of the lots are deeper than usual, with an average lot area of 14,413 sq. ft. Concerns • Lots 19 and 20, Block 2 are functionally corner lots on either side of a private cul -de -sac with 12 Bayhomes. These lots should have thirty -foot setbacks of both frontages. • Lots 5 & 6, Block 2 share a side boundary line that is less than 125 feet in length. Lot length is measured at the setback line, however, and these lots may be acceptable. • Lot 4, Block 1 and lot 5, Block 2 are less than 10,000 sq. ft. in area. The Bayhomes are detached townhouses clustered around private driveways with eight to ten foot gaps between buildings. Setbacks vary, however, they tend to be more than the minimum requirements to streets or other uses. One feature of the Bayhomes is that they have front doors that open up to a sidewalk / trail system that loops the development. Advantages • The common space is maintained by a homeowners' association. This is desirable because screening landscaping will be necessary for the edge adjacent to Greif Bros. Concerns • Four of the bayhomes along the east and south edge of Greif Bros. are less than 30 feet from the propertyline. This is a particularly sensitive "edge" that needs extensive buffering or mitigation. This part of Greif Bros. is particularly unattractive as a loading dock area that has the potential for 24 -hour operation. • The shared driveways are "tight" areas limiting parking and turn - arounds. • Some of the homes along side the private street entrances are less than the 20 setback required from houses. to private shared streets / driveways. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION The primary challenge for developing residential use of this site is mitigation of the effects of the rail spur and the adjacent edges of the industrial use (Greif Bros). The following represents the recommended conditions if the Planning Commission were to adopt a motion recommending approval of the concept to the City Council: 1. Increase the setbacks adjacent the Greif Bros. industrial use to a minimum of thirty feet and provide extensive landscape screening with earthen berms and plantings. 2. Mitigation of the effects of the rail spur with earthen berms, landscaping and fencing. ra September 25, 2001 PC Reviews — Progress Land Company "Rosewood" Concept Page 3. 3. Plan revisions as necessary to enhance circulation in the private driveways of the Bayhomes: 4.

Incorporation of recommendations of the Fire Marshal concerning vehicular circulation. 7. Conformance with the requirements for preliminary plat for the residential and commercial uses and conditional uses for the development of the church site.
