(b) Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as wildlife habitat, unique natural resources, existing vegetation, natural topography, geologic features and reduction of negative impacts on the environment. The site is within the shoreland district of Peltier Lake and adjacent to a large wetland complex. The development transitions from larger single family lots near Peltier Lake to townhomes near the arterial road. The large wetland will be preserved and enhanced into a multi-purpose greenway corridor and storm water management system. The corridor will also be protected by a vegetative buffer that provides additional protection to the natural resources. The site provides opportunity to implement a stormwater reuse system for irrigation purposes. The system should be evaluated and implemented to the extent feasible to offset the use of municipal water for irrigation. (c) 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 development transitions from larger single family lots near Peltier Lake to townhomes near the arterial road. (d) Efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. Private streets result in efficient, smaller networks of utilities and streets. This lowers development costs and public investments. (e) Mix of land use types. The development proposes a mix of residential housing types within low, medium and high density land uses. (f) Provision of a housing type or target housing price that is desirable to the City. The development proposes a mix of residential housing types consisting of townhomes and varying single family lot sizes. This variety in housing types supports life-cycle housing that is desirable to the City.
