TO: Jeanne A. Mabusth and Planninq Commission <br />FROM: Alan P. Olson <br />DATE: January 13, 1982 <br />SUBJECT: #669 Tonka Lake Properties - PRD Subdivision <br />1340 Baldur Park Road <br />This is the second application by Gary Peterson for develop- <br />ment of this property. The first, 8466 received preliminary <br />approval for 3 LR-lC single family residential lots on <br />July 13, 1979. That application died without ever having <br />documents returned for final approval. <br />This is the sketch plan application wherein the developer <br />seeks approval of the PRD concept, and the 5 unit density. <br />PRD <br />If -there ever was a piece of property in the City that is <br />appropriate for PRD development, the tip of Baldur Park <br />must be it. There is ample dry land area but it's build - <br />ability is restricted by flood plain and lakeshore set- <br />backs. Clusterinq of the development with open spaces in <br />the setback -flood plain area is a logical scheme to use. <br />Note that building envelopes should still Provide at least <br />20 feet between structures. At least two proposed setbacks <br />are less requiring redesign or hardship documentation. <br />The only real issues to me are density and hardcover. <br />The original scheme had 3 lots, each of which individually <br />exceeded the y acre lot area required. They were served <br />by a private driveway off a new dedicated public cul de sac. <br />That was consistent with CMP policies allowing private <br />driveways to serve 1-3 units. <br />OPEN SPACE <br />T iTi sT creme clusters individual lots of varying sizes. <br />There is no common opnn space except for the proposed <br />private driveway. I would suggest requiring common open <br />space below the 931.5 floodplain elevation with individual <br />lots platted only above that elevation. <br />ACCESS ROAD REQUIREMENTS <br />I ai so note t a ourUNP policies would not allow a 16' <br />wide private driveway to serve more thanTunits. With <br />this 5 unit density, a wider road (at least 24' Paved) <br />with turning facilities for emergency enuipment is required. <br />This could be private in the PRD concept, but the physical <br />improvements must be there to serve this nurber of units. <br />
