Inwood Townhomes <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br /> The proposed development includes the following parcels: <br />PID# 3302921140029 (12.7 acres) <br />PID# 3302921130028 (5.7 acres) <br />PID# 3302921420018 (0.4 acres) <br />PID# 3302921420017 (0.5 acres) <br />Total site acreage: 19.3 acres <br /> <br />With 271 units, this results in a density of 14.06 units per acre, which is within the allowable density. <br /> <br />G E N E R A L D EV ELO P M E N T S TAG E P U D / P R EL I M I N A RY P L AT <br /> <br />The proposed development is part of the approved Inwood PUD. The development meets the City’s minimum <br />PUD requirements in that it is larger than five acres, at least 20% of the site is open space which will be <br />protected by a drainage and utility easement, and streets are designed to maximize connectivity in each <br />cardinal direction. <br /> <br />We believe the following PUD objectives are met with this site plan: <br />1) Innovation in land development techniques that may be more suitable for a given parcel than <br />conventional approaches. <br />Response: The original Inwood PUD included the use of private streets. Private streets are <br />necessary to implement the original Inwood PUD approval. We believe the site design <br />provides sufficient circulation and an eye-pleasing streetscape. <br />2) Promotion of integrated land uses, allowing for a mixture of residential, commercial and public <br />features. <br />Response: The Inwood PUD provides a mixture of commercial and a wide variety of housing <br />options including single-family homes, villa homes (which are targeted towards an aging <br />population), townhomes, and an apartment. <br />3) Establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses. <br />Response: 5th Street North buffers the apartment site and townhomes. The townhomes are <br />mostly buffered from the apartment by Island Trail. This is consistent with the City’s <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />4) Provision of more adequate, usable, and suitably located open space, recreational amenities, natural <br />resource protection and other public facilities than would otherwise be provided under conventional <br />land development techniques.
