SITE SAFETY There should be safe passage from each dwelling or rooming unit to the common building and throughout the site. Consistent with the site plan review requirements, the walkways would be a minimum of 4 feet wide , well-lit and would connect building entrances to the adjacent public sidewalk and to any parking facili � es located on the site. Designers may also want to consider incorpora � ng fencing or screening to provide a secure space for the residents
SITE COMMON SPACE Consistent with other types of cluster developments, 40% of the land in an inten � onal community cluster development would be for common space. This would not include the common house. It would include landscaped yards, recrea � on areas, wetlands, and waterbodies, and common parking facili � es.

ALTERNATIVES Except for minimum lot area, the City Planning Commission would be able approve alterna � ves to requirements for inten � onal community cluster developments where strict adherence is imprac � cal because of site loca � on or condi � ons and the proposed alterna � ve meets the intent of the requirements.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS/POSSIBLE OBSTACLES 1. FOUNDATIONS A frost foo � ng or anchor system that meets mobile home codes is recommended for the founda � on. The Minnesota Residen � al Code does not approve of diamond piers as a founda � on system for habitable structures. 2.
