F <br /> sediment entrapment facilities, vegetated buffer strips or other <br /> appropriate techniques must be used to minimize erosion impact on <br /> surface water features. Erosion control plans approved by the Crow <br /> Wing County Soil and Water Conservation District may be required <br /> I if project size and/or site physical characteristics warrant; and <br /> F. Centralization and Design of Facilities. Centralization and design of facilities <br /> and structures must be done according to the following standards: <br /> 1. Planned Unit Developments must be connected to publicly owned <br /> water supply and sewer systems, if available. <br /> 2. Dwelling units or sites must be clustered into one or more groups <br /> and located on suitable areas of the development. They must be <br /> designed and located to meet or exceed the following dimensional <br /> standards for the relevant shoreland classification: setback from the <br /> ordinary high water level; elevation above surface water features; <br /> and maximum height. Setbacks from the ordinary high water level <br /> must be increased in accordance with Section 150.050 of this <br /> Ordinance for developments with density increases. <br /> Since this request is done through a conditional use permit, the CUP criteria must also be <br /> satisfied. To approve a CUP, the Planning Commission is directed to evaluate the effect <br /> of the proposed use upon: <br /> 1. The maintenance of the public health, safety and welfare. <br /> 2. The location of the site with respect to existing and proposed access roads. <br /> ‘'`- 3. Its compatibility with adjacent land uses. <br /> 4. Its compatibility with the intent of the zoning district in which such use is <br /> proposed. <br /> 5. Its compatibility with the objectives of the Ordinance and its consistency with <br /> the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Staff Findings: The first thing that must be determined is the allowable density. If the <br /> commercial floor area ratio (FAR) is used, assuming an average unit area of 1,500 square <br /> feet and using the standards for second tier development(FAR of 0.75), the parcel could <br /> support 8,494 square feet of building(2.6 acres x 0.75 = 8,494 s.£). Using 1,500 square <br /> feet per unit, the parcel could support 5.7 units. <br /> If the residential density method is used, the total parcel area of 2.6 acres would support a <br /> density of 2.6 units (minimum lot size of 1 acre in the commercial zone). <br /> Even with the maximum density increase of 50%, which it is not clear that this <br /> development would be entitled to,the allowable density would be between 2.6 units and <br /> 1. 8.5 units. <br /> We have reviewed the application and propose the following findings of fact for you to <br /> consider: <br /> I <br /> I <br />
