• • • AGENDA ITEM V B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: December 8, 2010 TOPIC: BACKGROUND PUBLIC HEARING • Amending the Planned Unit Development (PUD), Century Farm North: Amending the Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat, and • New Final Plan/Final Plat for 5th Addition The Century Farm North residential development is a planned unit development (PDO) in northwest Lino Lakes that the City approved in 2003. It includes a mix of housing styles: typical single family lots; single family airpark lot with hangars; detached townhomes (individual house lots located within a commonly owned yard lot); and attached townhomes. The preliminary plat for the overall project was approved in 2003. Four final plats have been approved, each including a phase of the overall project. Most of the development has been final platted, but the last phase has not. The last phase is still owned by the developer: Century Farm North Development. Many of the detached townhomes have not yet been constructed in the 4th Addition, the phase that was most recently fmal platted. They are owned by a builder: Sharper Homes. Sharper and Century Farms North Development want to amend the remaining part of preliminary plat as well as several unbuilt lots that have been final platted. They want to convert detached townhome lots to individual single family home lots. This is a response to changing market conditions. This proposal will require an amendment to the preliminary plat, which included the entire Century Farm North development. The application also includes a new final plat that would include four lots already final platted as well as one of the lots in the amended preliminary plat. A PUD is a special zoning district, so amending a PUD is technically a zoning amendment. The zoning amendment is defined by the new Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat. The public hearing is for this aspect of the application. A fmal plat must be reviewed by the P & Z but does not need a public hearing. This proposal does not add any dwelling units to the number that was originally approved in 2003. Nor does it change the area of land for each dwelling unit.
