Please note this amendment does not seek a density credit via the duplex unit. Each unit must satisfy the minimum area requirement <br />as required with all pro's. <br />The amendment has been proposed by staff in light of past <br />discussions with specific developers who question the reasoning <br />or purpose in limiting PRO'S in sewered 1 acre or 2 acre zones <br />from attached dwellings where the intent is to preserve open <br />space and in lakeshore districts limiting hardcover. <br />Issues for discussion: <br />1.

Is the intent of the specific medium/low density district <br />sacrificed if attached dwellings are permitted? <br />3. What negative or detrimental findings ---- characteristics ---- <br />effects ----- are associated with developments that provide <br />attached dwellings? <br />4. Is it necessary to limit the attached dwelling to two or can <br />this too be left to the discretion of the Council as in districts <br />R-IB and LR-IC? <br />5. Should the question of attaching dwelling units with PRO'S be <br />based on sewer availability and access to highways rather than <br />high, medium or low densities? <br />6. Is the issue of attaching dwellings more the developer's <br />concern 1 and costs, pattern of surrounding neighborhood, <br />market demands etc? <br />Alternatives of Action <br />A) If sewer availability and immediate access to highways are <br />more relevant in matters pertaining to attached dwellings with <br />pro's, the Planning Commission may amend the code as follows: <br />1 “ Amend Section 10,20 Subdivision 3 H to read as follows:
