#16-3827 Mey 98.2016 PBge 2 af 3 Access The street is shown in the northern most corner of the property. As this segment of Shadywood develops/redevelops,the accesses for the church,the subject property, and the former Freshwater parcels will be consofidated and coordinated. Hennepin County supports this coordination. The proposed access closely lines up with a future shared access for the Freshwater properties. Further review will be necessary, and may highlight the need for turn lanes and other improvements. Proposed buiiding The deveioper proposes one story, single family homes with main floor living and a finished basement. Floars plans suggested to date include three bedroom,two bath in appraximately 3000 sq ft. �he developer has provided two separate ele�ation drawings to pro�ide variety to the street. Tfie elevations are not the final design. The developer's target market are those residents looking to downsize their homes, or thase deslring single level living. The attached narrative describes the project in the developer's terms. Utflttles The project will be served by city water and sewer. A sewer line runs along the southern property line. Analvsis Conformity wlth 2010-2030�rono Community Management Plan Zoning , Comprehenslve Plan Shadywood lots B-4 n/a Mixed Use Residential 415 u/a j Kelly Avenue lot ` LR-iB ; E: MUR 4-15 u/a W: Low Density Res. 2-3 u/a , Currentiy zoned for busfness uses,the Comprehensive plan contemplates higher density residential and commerciai uses in the form of mlxed use along Shadywood Road, with a density range of 4- 15 units per acre. The Comp plan also shows tow-Medium Density residential along Kelly Avenue, prirnarily within the wetland. To facllitate the project,the property wil{ need to be re-guided and rezoned. The project proposes 2.99 units per net acre. Net acre reflects the effective buildable area, excludEng the wetlancf as shown on the survey. The proposed development is not consistent with the Comprehensive plan's guidance for the property because the density is toa low. Only by introducing attached family units is the density expected to rise a6ove 4 units per acre. The proposed units would likely nat qualify as'affordable' hou5ing. The change from mixed use to medium density lowers overall density 0.01, 3.08 to 3.07 units per acre. There is no zoning district that allows der�sity consistent wEth the Comprehensive plan fQr the subject property. These processes would occur concurrently with preliminary plat review. The projed will likely be developed as a RPUD, though several variances may be required, including variances for size (S acre minimum�, indivirlual lot size, lot width, and setbacks. Further revlew af the flnal zoning classification will occur as the prelim�nary plat is developed.
