Introduction/Action On behalf of Pratt Homes, we are pleased to submit this application for your review and approval. The subject property is a 17.6 +/- acre parcel located between Vadnais and Twin Lakes and to the south of Vadnais Boulevard. The action we will be seeking from the City of Little Canada is the rezoning of the property from R -1, Single Family, to R -2, Medium - Density Residential, followed by a PUD for the subdivision of the property as a townhome development. We anticipate aquiring the necessary approvals within a time frame that would allow construction to begin during the 1994 construction season. Owner /Applicant The property is currently under contract, and this project is being proposed by Pratt Homes. Mr. Leonard Pratt will be directing the development of the property. Design Development Team The following professional firms are currently retained to assist in the development process: • Pratt Homes - owner /applicant, builder • Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Inc. - site planning, preliminary plat • Charles W. Plow - consulting engineer - project engineering • E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. - surveying Existing Conditions Land Use As indicated, the property consists of 17.6 +/- acres of land as generally measured above the OHWL of 866.5 for Twin Lake. Surrounding development is comprised of a church property to the west, and single - family residential homes to the south across the lake. Vadnais Lake lies to the north and across Vadnais Boulevard. Vacant land to the east (in the City of Vadnais Heights) is also being considered for single - family residential development by Pratt Homes. Zoning The property is currently zoned, R -1, Single Family, and lies within the shoreland district for Twin Lake. The ordinance would allow the development of 20,000 s.f. lots (minimum 75 ft. width) abutting the shoreline, and 15,000 s.f. lots non - abutting the lake. Preliminary studies suggest that 12 lakeshore lots could be developed to ordinance standards along the 1,700 lineal feet of shoreline. Page ' 12
