Village of Hardwood Creek <br />LANDFORM <br />MINNEAIOLIE•INOENIX <br />September 7, 2005 <br />Mix of Uses <br />Our concept plan includes 55 -70 acres of commercial development, which will result in approximately <br />500,000- 600,000 square feet of retail space. We anticipate a variety of users with a mix similar to The <br />Village of Blaine development, however, that development is smaller than our proposed development <br />with approximately 495,000 square feet of retail. City residents have indicated a desire to have retail <br />shopping choices on the site. Currently, residents are required to travel a significant distance for <br />shopping needs. Residents have also commented that with the growth in surrounding communities, the <br />area demands additional retail stores and they prefer to capture the tax benefits from retail development <br />within the City rather than seeing it go to the neighboring communities. <br />Our plan also includes a mix of residential homes that provide lifecycle housing opportunities for the <br />community. The plan includes approximately 400 -420 single family homes and 800 -830 multifamily <br />homes on approximately 150 -170 acres (270 acres including open space). This mix of housing would <br />allow development at approximately 4.5 units per acre, which would be less than the density currently <br />anticipated in areas of the site that are currently guided medium and high density residential and would <br />be less than the densities anticipated in the City's AUAR. <br />As we move forward through the development process, we will work with the City to finalize the design <br />and bring forward a unique development that provides needed retail and housing options in the City. <br />Parks, Trails and Open Space <br />The concept plan also shows 80 -95 acres permanent open space. This land is in addition to the <br />landscaped areas within the public street right -of -way and will include a mix of natural habitat corridors, <br />neighborhood recreation and trail corridors consistent with the City's Conservation Subdivision Design. <br />We will: <br />• Preserve natural habitat areas unique to Lino Lakes <br />• Create open spaces for passive and active recreation uses <br />• Create well- designed neighborhoods that feature common open space and <br />• Establish a unified landscape amenity for the enjoyment of residents <br />We are proposing dedication of approximately 5 -6 acres of public park in the west central portion of the <br />site for use as an active City park with play equipment and picnic areas. Additionally, we are proposing <br />numerous private open space /recreational spaces in the neighborhoods. The private recreational space <br />may include small neighborhood parks, tot -lots, passive open space and trail corridors. Sidewalks on the <br />main streets allow convenient connections to the trails within the project neighborhoods and, ultimately, <br />to the regional trail system. <br />Page 2 <br />
