Site layout has been significantly influenced by a number of factors including: <br />1) the necessary north-south building orientation to allow for direct fire apparatus e.xit onto Willow <br />Drive without requiring additional turning movements; <br />driveway aprons required on east and west sides of the building bays to allow for fire apparatus <br />ingress/egress, necessitating that administrative and training spaces be located on the north or <br />south ends of the building; <br />road / driveway access to the rear of the building must allow for the necessary wide turning <br />radius of fire apparatus; <br />proximity to the existing/future Willow Drive bridge over the RR and the new Highway 12 <br />route; <br />S) site limitations imposed by width of the site, as well as by the location of existing linear wetlands <br />on the site, and the need to create a road corridor to provide access to the rear of the property for <br />future residential use; <br />soil conditions which require extensive soil correction work and which limit use of the southerly <br />portion of the site for building purposes. <br />I. Proposed Subdivision <br />The intent of the subdivision is to create a building lot for the fire station and a future residential parcel <br />behind it which will likely ultimately be developed for single family, senior housing or other residential <br />use not yet determined. Future use of the residential parcel is likely to be the subject of a rezoning to <br />either RPUD or some new zoning district allowing SFR at 2-3 units per acre. Therefore, the 2-acre <br />minimum area requirement for the RR-1B zone would not necessarily come into play (if this is an issue <br />for Planning Conunission, the residential site could be platted as an outlot, requiring fiiture City tq>proval <br />to use it as a building site). The front/back lot configuration requires that a road or driveway corridor be <br />.k r. 1^-'I ii-X'iPiia
