#13 - Limerick Village Concept Plan

Home Browse Search

4 4-Story Senior Apartment: This part of the subject property, and any development on it, will be highly visible from Manning Avenue, and even the interchange of Manning and Interstate 94. The apartment building on this site should remain fronted to both Manning Avenue and Limerick Parkway, with surface parking concentrated internally on the site. It should be anticipated that high quality building materials, and building design are required by the City for this important corner. Strong attention will be paid to connect this lot with the proposed park. 3-Story Multifamily Buildings: These buildings will be primarily visible from the streets and areas internal to the Limerick Village development. Facades should be varied, and front yard plantings will be required to soften the streetscape. Additional consideration should be given to the proximity of those units to future business park development to the south and methods provided to buffer accordingly. It is possible that the City could require a trail connection to the south or west of the subject property to facilitate connectivity through future developments. 50’ Single Family Detached Lots: The residential single family lots have been revised to meet the City’s lot width requirement. Lot area deviation is still anticipated through a future PUD request. Additional review of the City’s bulk standards are required to ensure that these lots are complaint with City Code. Sidewalks are required on at least one side of the street for these lots. PARKLAND DEDICATION: Based on feedback received to date, the developer has significantly increased the park area from just under 2 acres to 8 acres. This was accomplished by replacing single family units with increased park area on the north side of the development. If all of the proposed park area is accepted by the City, there will be no further dedication of land, or fee in lieu, required. When totaled with the stormwater ponding areas, the development will have a central open space area of over 15 acres. Private open space amenities are also provided for the 3story apartment buildings and rear loaded townhomes. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS: • A large regional stormwater pond and adjacent park with a looped trail system will provide over 15 acres of contiguous open space in the center of the development. • The proposed 8 acre park will satisfy comprehensive plan requirements for a park search area and serve neighboring areas as they develop. • The development will provide a mix of different housing types and serve as a transition from more intensive commercial uses planned to the south of the site. • The proposed development will connect to, and extend, City utilities at the expense of the Developer. • Trails, sidewalk, and roadway connectivity are proposed consistent with City plans. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City at this time. The Applicant would be required to extend or reconstruct public infrastructure serving the proposed development at their own expense.
