Thus, in order to recommend Me use of PUD, the Planning Commission needs to make a finding that the altered design achieves this objective, or PUD is ant being used y,,,••.• .:',.�.:�. PUD is not intended to be used to mealy shortcut the Zoning Ordbm=, or to avoid the finding of hardship in variance cases. As a result. ;Punct, :ethicist at typapIly applied to PUD projects, but `interior" setbacta we not.

Ilse setback tante wM be addressed first since it affects the design issues under the PUD. In summary, to recommend a vadam to the saboccs, the Planning Commission mart consider the following factors Uniqueness from otbar lands Avoidance of spacial privilege In the rue of Prairie wear, these issues are not clear ad. With regard to hardship, the Planning Commission might fled that due to the coe$gmatioa of the property, and the i,.,, .,,. -, ahrady in place, Mae would be a true hardship in cautplydog with all sabaeb. PMimlarly along the east property line, the lot depth is less thin 110 feet. once the moored sabaeiu ate taiton, there would be lea than SO fast of buildable ansa. On the abler hand, the Planning Commission could find that the adping ioopnovements and plat design were put in place by the current owners, thus any hardship was merely eeonnmic to =Um It would not be impossible to design either single family or two hmlly structarcs which would mea the setback • . ,,,,. • :....,,.. Aerbpa this would result in a reduction to the unit count of the project. However. this could be merely another trample of the economic namte of the htadahip. With regard the u u, this criterion is ams which is handed to Show Mat coy variance grimed would not impsa other property, or tlmt no nqpbe praoedem would be ser.

Applying thb standard to the Piaide Weal sinrstlon, the Plarming C=misdm might find that the Railroad and School psoperty sedmb might be justified, but that setbacks from stress and other private property would sot be junifiad. in summary, the sabad vadancrs to the east and south could be defended by their unique situatimm a&= to larger, cpm, 'istiimtionalndgbboftg popery. However, the sedmim to the weal and to the public g rests would be more diff, to defend based on the appUation of any of the facmm which am to be part of the variance analysis.

Special Planning Commission Agenda - 9/28/98 6. MUZOXW of wllnm a D wwnawi unit d!evelrhnme*�t Ln �n B.S sone- Appl(pgpf, 9w1 CanddmmUm of z= (J.OJ Planning Commission and City Council are requested to consider action that would allow development of nine twinhome structures at Outlot A of the Xlein Farms. Mein Farms Oudot A is located in a sensitive transition zone between an industrial area to the north and a single family housing development to the south. The homes will be owner -occupied and served by an internal private street. The development represents an improvement over the original plans for this area (May 94), which originally suggested a higher density rental townhouse development. This item was considered by the Planning Commission at the regular meeting in September and continued to a special meeting which is being held immediately prior to the Council meeting. At the regular meeting in September, the Planning Commission identified problems in meeting the requirements of the buffer yard ordinance and tabled fhrther consideration until the plan was amended accordingly. The original plan included a berm for the purpose of obtaining a 80% credit against required landscape plantings. The plan was rejected because the height of the berm was not 5 ft above the elevation of the garage floor slab. The revised site plan corrects this problem but fills a necessary drainage awale along the rear property line. Also, subsequent to Planning Commission review, City staff has reviewed the revised site plans in more detail and offer additional suggestions for improving the site plan. For the purpose of the site plan review portion of this report, please refer to the report provided by Steve Grittmam This report is the same document that was provided to the Planning Commission for the regular meeting in September. Special Planning Commission Agenda . 9/26/95 Decision 1: Consideration of a variance to the font yard setback requirement for a PUD in an 8.8 sone. Motion to approve the 10 -ft variance request based on a finding that the yard is a side yard and not a front yard, therefore, the 30 -ft setback requirement does not apply. Essentially, the Planning Commission and City Council need to determine whether or not to classify the subject yard as a side yard or a font yard. If the yard is determined to be a side yard, then the site plan meets the minimum requirements and a variance could be granted based on the finding that the fi^ont yard setback requirements do not apply. The applicant notes that the yard designation (float or side) would be a side yard if the internal street in the PUD was a public street. Motion to deny approval of the 10 -ft variance request based on a finding that the yard is a front yard and a hardship supporting the request has not been demonstrated. It could be argued that the yard in question is truly a font yard because it is in the font of the development area separating the general PUD area fom the adjoining properties. It is the interpretation of the City Planner that the yard is more akin to a font yard than a side yard. Decision & Consideration of approval of a conditional use permit that would allow a planned unit development in an 8.9. Motion to approve a conditional use permit that would allow a planned unit development in an Rr2 subject to the following conditions. The site plan must be consistent with setback requirements as determined by Planning CommissionCity Coundl. The drainage Swale along the rear lot line must not be filled, or the developer must work with the City to install a storm sewer line at this location. Special Planning Commission Agenda - 9/25M 3. Additional landscaping is required as noted in the attached report by the City Planner. 4. landscaped plantings or low maintenance ground cover must be planted in areae where berm grades exceed 3 to 1 slope. 5. Adjustments to the utility plan as required by the City Engineer. 6. A utility easement must be provided which would allow some to the internal water and sewer mains sawing the site, and the development agreement and association bylaws must state that the association is responsible for paying for repairs to any structure (sidewalks, streets, web, trees, etc.) that is damaged in the process of utility maintenance activity. 7. The City must be granted a storm sewer easement in the storm water ponding area located east of the site. To avoid long-term maintenance problems for the association and to enhance the environment, require establishment of a contract between the developer and a native grasses restoration firm for the purpose of establishing wetland characteristics in the storm water basin. (B.') Establishment of an association and bylaws as prescribed by ordinance. The developer has indicated a wMingoese to comply with all of the conditions above with the following exceptions. 1. The developer can comply with the setback requirements as long as the "bout yard" setback is established at 20 R. 2. The developer has not reviewed the ad'.ditional landscaping requirements as noted by the City Planner in the attached report. The level of support is not known. 3. The developer prefers to lower the screening tmnoe, which would help create an additional 10 R of usable back yard However, doing so would result in non-compliance with the bufflir yard ordinance. Special Planning Commission Agenda - 9/25M Motion to deny approval of a PUD in an ii -2 zone. This alternative should be based on a Ending that stele fi-om the discussion. Possible findings could include denial due to inconsistency with the setback requirements. Denial could also be based on the tbilure of the developer to agree to providing necessary site improvements as noted under conditions 1-7. Decision 8: Consideration of preliminary plat approval of the Fein Farms Estates Subdivbdom Motion to approve preliminary plat approval of the IQein Farms Estates Subdivision subject to the conditions noted under the PUD approval. This alternative should be selected if the City approves the PUD under Decision 2. Motion to deny preliminary plat approval of the IDsin Farms Estates Subdivision. This alternative should be selected if Council denies approval of the PUD under Decision 2. Q STAFF 12FCOMMENDATION; With regard to the variance request, City staff can am both sides of the argument. It is essentially a judgment call by the Planning Commission and City Council whether or not to call the yard affected a side yard or a front yard. If the variance is denied, it is likely that the entire development will be shifted 10 R closer to the industrial area, which may or may not be a better situation. With regard to the PUD and preliminary plat approval, staff supporta approval subject to the conditions noted and other conditions required by Council. This is the first test case of the buffer yard ordinance, and we feel strongly that the ordinance needs to be met to the letter. n_ tPP[f13TINd DAT Planning Commission Agenda data fiom the regular meeting in September, Landscaping suggestions by City Planner, Copy of Boat elevation of homes proposed; Landamping Nan; Preliminary plat and grading plan; Utility plan.

Although this does not affect the proposed oowWw= development, the layout may affect future davelopmert. Density. Subtracting the area of Oudot A, the holding ponding area, and the area of the private drive, there is a buildable area of approrabaately 126,127 square feet.
