Zoning File #1334 October 13, 1988 Page 3 of 7 5. Per the recent Comprehensive Plan Amendment, as part of the recommended alternative, review Exhibit D Page 52, an east/west corridor had to be defined within the commercial portion of this property if the residential through road was not to be realized via the Pine Ridge Lane corridor. A 60* wide corridor below the residential development along the northern border of the commercial corridor has been provided. The outlot is 60* wide. At that same meeting, the applicant was advised that the City did not feel it appropriate to have a bike trail system along the Highway 12 corridor and asked that it be placed along the north side of the future east/west frontage road. The outlot has been designated at a 60* width to contain both road bed and bike trail. 6. The information on the fencing along the north side will be submitted at your meeting. Planning Commission may wish to address other means to screen or lessen the impact of the residential development upon the rural residential property to the immediate north• PRD/R-lA Standards - R-IA: Front Street Setback Rear Setback » 30* Side Setback » lO' Applicant*s Proposal; Front Street Setback Rear Setback * 50* Side Setback 30* Section 10.32 - PRD Planned Residential Development. Subdivision-1 - Purpose. The purpose of a PRD . . ."to enhance the appearance of neighborhoods, to encourage the preservation of natural open spaces, to counteract the effects of urban congestion and monotony, to provide cohesive structure to neighborhood design, to offer recreation opportunities close to home, and to aid in improving the welfare in general of the City*s residents." The current PRD proposal preserves open spaces with the trail system in the surrounding outlot and in addition, has built in additional open space areas within each lot defined by the required setbacks. The restrictive setbacks will also lessen impact of congestion. Clearly, a 1 acre minimum lot size is not high density development. The surrounding open space and woodlands trailways and a future connecting bike/hike trail system to the western and northern portions of the community will offer greater recreational opportunities. Subdivision 2 - Total number of building lots or dwelling units. "Shall not exceed the number of such lots or units permissible under the minimum lot size requirements of the zoning district or districts in which land is situated."
