Resolution No. 11 -27 (final plat) 3/5 iii. Ordinance No. 06 -11 (easement vacation) 4/5 The Century Farm North residential development is a planned unit development (PUD) 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 some has not. The phase that was most recently final platted is the 4th Addition. Many of the detached townhome sites there remain unbuilt. The land there is owned by the builder, Sharper Homes. The area of the overall development that is not final platted is owned by the developer: Century Farm North Development. Sharper and Century Farms North Development want to amend several unbuilt lots in the 4th Addn. as well as some of the remaining area of the preliminary plat. They want to convert detached townhome lots to individual single family home lots. This is due to a changing market. This proposal will require an amendment to the preliminary plat, which included the entire Century Farm North development. A PUD is a special zoning district, so amending a PUD is technically a zoning amendment, just like amending a part of the zoning ordinance. The proposed zoning amendment is defined by the new Development Stage Plan /Preliminary Plat. 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. An existing drainage and utility easement will need to be vacated by the City Council. • This proposal does not add any dwelling units to the number originally approved in 2003. Nor does it change the area of land for each dwelling unit.
