29 The proposed Lyngblomsten development can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City’s service capacity. The site is ultimately served by MCES Lift Station L69 and has substantial reserve capacity to accommodate he development in the district. The existing water supply and water distribution system can provide adequate water volume and fire protection upon looping of the system. Section 1007.024 PUD, Planned Unit Development Per Section 1007.024(1) Purpose and Intent, the PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this Ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., by conditional use permit or a mixture of uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to encourage: (a) A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Lyngblomsten development is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J. (a) Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. The PUD allows implementation of the Master Plan’s vision to create an urban form for the area. Buildings are pulled towards the main collector roads and away from existing residential homes. (b) The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. The existing wetland on site will not be impacted. A wetland buffer and conservation easement will provide additional protection of the natural resource. (c) A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. The proposed Lyngblomsten development transitions from existing low density single family homes to cottage home to a senior living campus consisting of independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities to restaurant and commercial use. Building heights are tiered from single level cottage homes to two, three and then four story senior living campus as the development progresses towards CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) and CR J (Ash Street). (d) An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments.
