-~ O~ITTLIJND HOMES A DMSION OF THE ROTTLUND COMPANY, INC. TO: Members of the Planning Commission Susan Hoyt FROM: Don Jensen, Land Development Manager Todd Stutz, Executive Vice President DATE: May 11, 1992 RE: Maple Knoll Courtyard Homes P.U.D. The Rottlund Company is pleased to submit this 24 home subdivision for your review and approval. The project as proposed consists of four (4) home buildings and (1) 8 home building with two different floor plans. The facades are finished with shell ivory aluminum siding, white soffits and trim with "boathouse" accent color • (similar to a slate blue) which carry a 30 year warranty. The use of this material minimizes future expenses of repainting wood for the homeowners association. The roof is finished with a 20 year shingle and "driftwood" brick, abrown/red color is utilized in several key locations such as around garage doors, front doors, and at building facade changes where the plane of the building steps back on the end homes. (See sheet 6 of 7.) Each home entry is illuminated by small detail fixtures for ease of safety and address identification. Additiona125 foot tall shielded down cast "shcebox" lights will be installed where multiple common driveways meet along the main driveway. (See Site Plan.) End homes as proposed are 1,437 square feet (SF) with a two car garage. Homes have about 885 SF on the main level along with the "Courtyard," and about 553 SF included in a second floor bedroom and loft. There are bathrooms on both floors. (See sheet 7 of 7.) Interior homes are slightly smaller with 1409 SF proposed on two floors. The "Courtyard" is a new product type for The Rottlund Company and differs from the "Atrium" product in Roseville through the use of loft space, although both homes are about the same interior square footage. This will be the first location in the Twin Cities where the "Courtyard" will be built. Due to the construction and marketing of our Concordia Meadows project in Roseville, we have accumulated a sizable list of interested homeowners. We are excited and hopeful that this project will be sold out prior to the conclusion of construction, just as the Roseville project was. The name Maple Knoll was selected because the project is located on the same north-south line as Maple Knoll Drive farther east. Naming the private drive Maple Court should remove any confusion about the project's location • for directional purposes. The project is connected to Prior Avenue with two-way access and egress. The existing office sign will be removed and replaced with one which identifies Maple Knoll.
