t ~ ~ A RO~ITL HOMES A DMSION OF THE ROTTLUND COMPANY, INC. MEMO AND TM TO: Members of the Planning Commission Susan Hoyt FROM: Don Jensen, Land Development Manager ,~ Todd Stutz, Executive Vice President DATE: Apri115, 1992 RE: Maple Knolls 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 one 8 home building with four different floor plans. • The facades are fmished with new improved aluminum siding, soffits and trim 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 brick 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 at the end homes. (See sheet 4 of 5.) Each home entry is illuminated by small detail fixtures for ease of safety and address identification. Additional 25 shielded down cast fixtures will be installed where multiple common driveways meet along the main driveway. 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 5 of 5.) 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 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 about this project being sold out prior to the conclusion of construction, just as the Roseville project was. 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 Knolls. The existing parking lot for the offices will dead end on the Rottlund parcel with a small turnout. Some of the existing walks for the office buildings will also remain on the Rottlund parcel. Similar to the prior office proposal, a 24 foot drive serves the four 4 home structures along the West boundary. An emergency access way does provide a loop road for fire or police emergencies. Buildings are • generally located on an angle to magnetic north, in order to provide opportunities for passive solar gain to as many homes as possible.
