Planned Unit Development. The project is being processed as a PUD to allow varied building spacing, and common ownership area in lieu of the typical lot/block development. The developer is requesting the PUD flexibility in exchange for the extraordinary park dedication area. This request had been viewed positively at concept stage. For Final Stage PUD, the City typically requests full landscaping plans and building drawings. These have not been made a part of the current submission package. Final PUD approval does not require a separate public hearing, but it may be appropriate to reserve this approval until the landscaping and building plans can be assembled. Development Stage PUD approvals may be granted, but should be conditioned on submission of these plans, and on approval of the plat. Preliminary and Final Plat. The plat closely reflects the concept plan approval granted in February. The developable land results in just over 8,000 square feet per unit, more than the required 7,500 square feet per unit for twin homes. The utility plan shows sanitary sewer extending from Jackson Street through the park, along a proposed trail easement between units 10 and 11. A storm sewer pipe is also proposed leading from the cul -de -sac to the pond between units 8 and 9. The City Engineer and Public Works Director should comment on this arrangement, and whether the separate easements for utilities and the trail would be better if combined. With the comments resulting from other staff review, the preliminary and final plats appear to be ready for approval. Summary. The rezoning of this parcel is consistent with the directions of the land use plan and with surrounding land uses. The Development Stage PUD is acceptable, subject to the comments regarding landscaping and building plans, and conditioned on approval of the plats. The Final Stage PUD approval should be held until landscaping and buildings plans are submitted. The Preliminary and Final Plats accurately reflect the concept approval granted in February. Subject to engineering review and comments, the plats should be ready for approval as well. cc: Kathy Glanzer Greg Schroeder Elizabeth Mursko Terry Maurer Gordie Howe Page 6
