P/I Form No, 19 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 81021 Applicant: Brooklyn Development Company Location: Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct 14 townhouses in Phase 1 of the Earle Brown Farm Estates located at the north end of the property which is east of Xerxes and south of Shingle Creek Parkway. In con- nection with Phase 1, the applicant has submitted a master plan for 100 town- house units covering six phases on 14.66 acres of land. Phase 1 will abut Shingle Creek Parkway on the north, newly dedicated Freeway Boulevard on the east, Phase 2 on the south and Earle Brown Patio Homes on the west. Access to the development will only be available off the newly dedicated portion of Freeway Boulevard. The density of the entire townhouse development will be 6,388 sq. ft. per unit, well in excess of the 5,400 sq. ft. per unit required under the Zoning Ordinance. Each unit will have at least one enclosed garage stall and one outside parking space. In addition, there are 25 visitor parking stalls scattered throughout the entire master plan area. Phase 1 will consist of five three -bedroom units and nine two -bedroom units. The Master Plan calls for 40 three -bedroom units and 60 two -bedroom units. Three bedroom units are 1,272 sq. ft. gross floor area and two -bedroom units are 1,062 sq. ft. gross floor area. For both types, bedrooms are located upstairs. The exterior treatment will be painted hardboard lap siding similar to the Marvin Gardens Townhouses at 68th and Orchard.Avenues. Landscaping for the entire site will include 15 large shade trees (6" diameter per ordinance requirements) including Marshall Ash, Sugar Maple, etc. Thirty smaller shade trees such as Skyline Locusts and Greenspire Lindens and 100 decorative trees such as Russian Olives and Radiant Crabs will also be provided. In addition, 36 coniferous trees such as Black Hills Spruce and Scotch Pines are shown on the landscape plan. The plan calls for 4' to 6' berms along the entire westerly property line to provide some screening from the single-family homes to the west. Berms 4' to 6' in height are also provided intermittently along Freeway Boulevard, Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North. All green areas on the site will be sodded. Drainage from Phase 1 will be conveyed by 15' wide RCP pipe to the storm sewer in Shingle Creek Parkway. There will also be a holding pond at the southeasterly corner of Phase 1 which will accommodate drainage from Phases 2 and 3. Drainage from the southerly portion of the development will be collected into a holding pond adjacent to Xerxes Avenue North. The holding pond will drain into a 21" diameter storm sewer leading to City storm sewer at Freeway Boulevard and Xerxes Avenue North. The plans at present do not show curb and gutter around common parking and driving areas. This should be added to the plan prior to approval. Subsequent approvals for the additional phases will require preliminary plat approval and site and building plan approval by the City prior to issuing building permits. Site plan approval will consist of verification of the individual phase development plans with the master plans. Any change will be subject to City approval. 4-23-81 -1- Application No. 81021 continued All together, the plans are generally in order and approval is recommended, subject to the following conditions: 1. Building Plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A Performance Agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted to assure completion of approved site improvements for Phase 1 prior to the issuance of building permits. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. All common parking and driving areas shall be surrounded by B612 curb and gutter. 6. Plan approval acknowledges a Master Plan for all phases of the Earle Brown Farm Estates townhouse project. However, each additional phase is subject to preliminary plat approval and site and building plan approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 7. The developer shall take adequate measures to control dust and debris during construction. A viable turf shall be established and maintained in areas subject to future development. 4-23-81 -2- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 81021 Applicant: Brooklyn Development Company Location: Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan The applicant requests site and building plan approval for a 100 unit townhouse development on the southerly and westerly portions of Outlot E, Twin Cities Interchange Addition which is zoned R3. The site plan is submitted by the owner as an indication of intent to develop the property for 100 townhouses. The Planning Commission and City Council expressed the concern in denying Application No. 79023 (a request to rezone 7.5 acres to I-1) that the townhouse development proceed before approval of any rezoning of the easterly portion of Outlot E. The proposed preliminary site plan shows 40 three -bedroom units and 60 two -bedroom units. The townhouses will be grouped in clusters of from 2 to 8 in a row. Each unit will have a one -car garage and one parking space outside. The site plan indicates a play area at the southeasterly portion of the property adjacent to Xerxes Avenue North. The plan shows a substantial amount of open green area, but no landscape plan has yet been submitted. As with Application No. 81020, there is insufficient information on the plans as submitted to make any recommendation. To some extent, the plan is also subject to action on the rezoning request of Application No. 81022. Accordingly, it is recommended that this application be tabled until action on the rezoning request can be made. 4-9-81
