Sketch Plan Submittal January 29, 2024 Limerick Village Page 2 of 4 The property is currently used for agriculture but for approximately 5 acres in the southeast used by Sodbuster RC Flying Club. A farmstead with associated outbuildings exists at the northeast corner of the property. Site access for the farmstead and flying club is from Manning Avenue. Site topography varies gradually from an elevation of 918 in the northwest to an elevation of 893 in the southeast. A low area near the southeast corner of the site provides approximately 28K cubic yards of flood storage for the 100-year rainfall event and at an elevation of 895.1 per Valley Branch hydraulic modeling. Surface runoff generally migrates from west to east and ultimately arrives at the St. Croix River. Site soils are generally free draining and anticipated to be suitable for infiltration. DEVELOPMENT PLAN The current sketch plan proposes for a mixed-use development consisting of single-family homes, town homes and apartments. Smaller lot single family homes are proposed under a separate Homeowners Association and are to generally be located on the western half of the site. This product will be built on 35’, 40’ and 50’ wide lots and provide a nice alternative to higher density townhomes, needed in this application to meet the MDR requirements provided for in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Front loaded town homes are to generally be located near the center of the site and provided a transition to higher density product to the east on Manning Avenue. The higher density product is to consist of 20-unit town homes and multi-story apartments with underground and surface parking. A large stormwater feature of approximately 8.8 acres is to be located near the center of the site and be an amenity to the single family and front-loaded town homes. A schedule of product types and quantities is as follows: 35’ single family homes 19 40’ single family homes 98 50’ single family homes 13 Front loaded town homes 120 20-unit town homes 240 Apartment units 258 The current sketch plan proposes for the extension of 5th Street North from the west to Manning Avenue to the east. It is currently proposed that 5th Street North be located south and adjacent to the north property boundary to avoid three large overhead transmissions towers to the north abutting the property. The plan also proposes for the relocation of Hudson Boulevard (aka 2nd Street North) to the south and which is to align with 2nd Street North on Manning Avenue to the east. The location and alignment of Hudson Boulevard is as depicted in Four Corners 2nd Addition Plans prepared by Larson Engineering and last dated July 10, 2019. Limerick Parkway is proposed to extend from 5th Street North to relocated Hudson Boulevard and generally parallel Manning Avenue. It will provide internal access at multiple locations to the single-family homes, front loaded town homes, 20-unit town homes and apartments.
