On Pages 50 and 51 you will find two alternative ;!ins for future de•'e1 c;ment of the rrocert.l. Page the recommended alternative 'cV the C'_ty, approves future rezoning of the 55' corridor north of the existing commercial line be rezoned to commercial and the remaining residential was to receive sewer and to be developed at 1 and 2 acre single family densities. Sewer was to serve all residential development. Please review Exhibit G, the intent of the R-lA code. In c.rder for the applicant's rezoning request to be approved, the property must be sewered. Review Exhibit H, the PRD Code, in order for the applicant to satisfy the current PRD Code of the City and the directives of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2, the rezoning to R-lA is necessary. Review PRD Section ?0.32, Subdivision 2 that reads as follows: "Submission of plans. Land owners may submit land subdivision plans for any R District without adherence to minimum lot size recT.�irements for each building lot, provided that the total number of building lots, or dwelling un'_ts, shall not exceed the number of such lots or units permissible under the minimum lot size requirements of the zoning district or districts which such land is situated." In order for this developer to receive approval of a mixed 1 and 2 acre or 1 acre de -pity PRD, the underlying zoning district has to be amended to fulfill ne requirements of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The present ?RD subdivision application seeks approval of 25 units based on the R-lA zoning density allowance. Alternative 3, as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Sections, Exhibit R, Page 51, shows a formal conventional plat format. The current plan under consideration is a PRD format with an open space outlot surrounding the PRD providing a buffer and lessening the impact on the surrounding rural residential properties. Please review the Planning Commission minutes of September 19, 1988 enclosed in your Council packets. Some of the reasons noted for approving the rezoning to the 1 acre zone were as follows: 1. Topographical and physical characteristics of the site: Variations in topography ranging from 1,04%' at its highest point to 994 at its lowest, resulting in over 50' of grade separation. Mature maple and other deciduous trees. Heavy clay and clay loam soils and associated problems with installation and maintenance of on -site sewage disposal system. 2. The proposed division satisfies all of the special minimum requirements for rezoning under the proposed zoning ordinance amendment for the Highway 12 corridor.
