Comprehensive Plan Amendment Village of Hardwood Creek page 12 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.

Transportation infrastructure is needed to support a development of this size. In addition, improvements to the water and sanitary sewer infrastructure will be needed to support full build out of the project. The extent and timing of site development will rely heavily upon these issues. The City Engineer's memo is attached. What can be seen in the concept plan is an extensive open space /greenway network.
