• AGENDA ITEM V.D. STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson P & Z MEETING DATE: April 12, 2006 TOPIC: Planned Unit Development - Final Plan Legacy Townhomes Legacy at Woods Edge BACKGROUND Hartford Group Inc. has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a portion of the townhome property within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists of the building plans for the units and the final plat of a portion of the townhome property. NALYSIS Governing Plans This site is located within the Legacy at Woods Edge project and is therefore subject to the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide that was adopted by Ordinance 04 -04 as part of the original Planned Unit Development for the site. The proposed layout is significantly conforming to the original Legacy at Wood's Edge layout that is included in the Development Guide. Some changes that have occurred through the grading and street projects the city has undertaken have included the moving of the `Woods Edge' street west to allow homes to be built on the east side of the site. Also, changes have arising due to the fact that previous plans only depicted back to back type of units with tuck under parking. The applicant is now proposing a different product for a portion of the site. The proposed townhomes are located in a Residential Land Use Area and will be located within a portion of Lot 15 (according to the land use plan of the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide). The Regulating plan of the development guide includes the required street framework, which is currently under construction as part of the city's improvements in the area. This will include the pedestrian streetscape as part of a future phase of construction. The plan also indicates that there is a 50% build -to line requirement for this portion of the site; but no `Required Building Entries' nor any `Gateways' are indicated for the portion of the residential site currently proposed for development. SJensity and Diversity The standards require between 10 and 24 units per acre, not to exceed 190 units. The current proposal includes 98 units within 14 buildings. This would occur on 9.42 acres for a density of 10.4 units per acre. The future development of the corner parcel should only increase that density figure.
