Natures Refuge North Preliminary Plat and Planned Unit Development Plan Submittal o The villa target buyers are older adults who value low maintenance living. It is not viable for an association to maintain a larger lot. • Other public benefits and values as recognized in the city's Comprehensive Plan. o The proposed development will provide a lift station that is able to serve homes in the Stage 1 B Planned Service Area as outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan. We believe the general requirements for a PUD are met in the following ways: • Public or common open space to meet minimum requirements established in the ordinance. The site provides approximately 34 acres of open space. • If PUD includes preservation of natural habitat, those habitats shall be permanently protected through a conservation easement or other legally binding agreement. We have preserved approximately 58% open space within the site in order to preserve natural habitat. We are proposing to deed these outlots to the City as permanent open space to be preserved in perpetuity as public park. If the City elects not to accept the land as parkland, the HOA will own the land. Deed restrictions or restrictive covenants will preserve the land as open space. Homeowners Association Required. The lots will be governed by a homeowner's association (HOA) as further explained below. Recreational open space or trail corridors intended as public parks or public trails shall be dedicated to the city or granted through an easement. o We intend to grant an easement over the public trails once built as was done in Natures Refuge. We will either dedicate the open space to the city or place deed restrictions over the lots. 409=»_\Z There are four proposed street connections. One connecting from the south from Natures Refuge via Haywood Drive and connecting to future development to the north, one to the west to Arena Acres, and one to the east for future development. If the City desires, M/I Homes would be open to options to provide connections to Andall Street. The proposed development has a total of 93 60-foot-wide villa lots. The following table compares the proposed standards to the Two Family Residential (R-2) zoning district. The site is currently zoned Rural Executive (R-X).
