The City must consider the following criteria in the <br /> examination of a parcel for suitability as a PUD: <br /> A. Existing recreational use of the surface waters and likely increases <br /> in use associated with planned unit developments; <br /> B. Physical and aesthetic impacts of increased density; <br /> C. Suitability of lands for the planned unit development approach; <br /> D. Level of current development in the area; and <br /> E. Amounts and types of ownership of undeveloped lands. <br /> F. Size of the parcel and amount,if any,of shoreline. <br /> 3. Design criteria for all new Conservation Subdivisions and PUD's. <br /> A. Minimum Size. All developments must contain at least 3 <br /> contiguous acres of buildable area with a lot width of 400 feet. A <br /> sites.planned tmit development shall eentain a minimum ef three tMits <br /> er <br /> B. Buffer. A 50 400t vegetative buffer will be maintained or <br /> established along the boundary of the PUD. There shall be no <br /> units or impervious coverage within this buffer with the exception <br /> of access roads or utilities. The buffer will serve to screen the <br /> adjacent parcels and the lake, where applicable, from the units <br /> within the PUD. The screening will contain both low growing(e.g. <br /> brush) and high growing (e.g. trees) vegetation. Adjacent parcels <br /> and the lake, where applicable, shall be a minimum of 50% <br /> screened, as measured by the Planning and Zoning Administrator, <br /> from the adjacent parcel or the lake during leaf-on conditions. An <br /> earthen berm may be used where, in the opinion of the Planning <br /> Commission, the existing vegetation cannot be enhanced to meet <br /> the 50% screening criteria. Use of a berm shall not preclude the <br /> maintaining of a 5o-foot buffer or the installation of screening as <br /> part of the berm. <br /> C.
