• • Comprehensive Plan Amendment Village of Hardwood Creek page 12 Several branches of the county ditch system lay in tiles crossing the site. However, many drain tiles that are not part of the ditch system were placed on the site over the years to drain the land for agriculture. Much of the potential for incorporating conservation development elements into the development lies with the stormwater management design. Utilizing infiltration to the greatest extent possible will be important, as will accommodating the flow currently carried by the numerous drain tiles. The Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan includes trail connections to be created on the site. The concept plan includes these and more to facilitate walking and biking within the site and to connect to trails outside the site. The greenway system would utilize the pipeline easement as part of the trail network. 4) General Location of Residential and Non - Residential Land Uses with Approximate Type and Intensities of Development. Single family and multi - family residential areas are shown on the concept plan. Housing will cover approximately 150 to 170 acres. Commercial uses in the southeast portion of the site will comprise 55 to 70 acres. The following table is taken from the concept plan. Total 363 acres Commercial 500,000 to 600,000 sf 55 to 70 acres Residential Single family 400 to 420 units Multi - family 800 to 830 units 1200 to 1250 units 150 to 170 acres Open Space 80 to 95 acres Public Right of Way 55 acres 5) A Staging and Time Schedule of Development. The submittal includes a phasing plan. The site would develop from south to north, with over half the commercial development and some residential in phase one. Phase two would include the rest of the commercial area and a large amount of residential. Phases three and four would continue the residential development. The developer envisions full build out of the site over six years. 6) Other Special Criteria for Development. 110 The AUAR has not yet been completed. Much of the project design will depend on the AUAR, particularly the mitigation plan.
