We have <br />two topics for discussion at the meeting. <br /> <br />Watermark (Mattamy Homes) <br /> <br />As we briefly discussed at the September meeting Mattamy Homes has submitted a <br />concept plan for review and comment. The proposed development is a PUD master <br />planned residential community located in the northwest quadrant of I-35E and CSAH <br />14/Main Street. It contains 12 parcels totaling approximately 372 gross acres and <br />consists of a residential density mix of single family lots and townhomes totaling 876 <br />housing units. The proposed development is called Watermark. <br /> <br />Of specific interest to EDAC is the proposal to develop the area entirely with residential <br />uses. The comprehensive plan allowed for the site to include a commercial component <br />in the southeast quadrant of the site. Mattamy, however, is not pursuing commercial <br />development due to lack of market interest. A copy of the Mattamy Concept Plan is <br />attached. Staff will provide additional background information at the meeting as well as <br />a review of surrounding property available for commercial development. <br /> <br />Community Profile <br /> <br />The packet includes and updated Community Profile. We are still working to <br />incorporate a few additional comments provided by the commission. Also attached is a <br />draft of the Request for Expressions of Interest that we plan to send out to developers <br />for the Woods Edge site owned by the City. Staff would like to get your feedback at the <br />meeting.
