6 thoughtfully designed to align with public streets, supporting community design objectives. 7. Coordination of architectural styles and building forms to achieve greater compatibility within the development and surrounding land uses. a. The proposed development enhances architectural compatibility through thoughtfully designed rear-loaded townhomes that orient toward public streets, creating an active and visually engaging streetscape. Our townhomes are constructed with high-quality materials, including LP siding on all sides. Additionally, we are proposing extensive landscaping to supplement the master development trees and further enhance the community and its compatibility with the surrounding land uses. 8. Creation of more efficient provision of public utilities and services, lessened demand on transportation, and the promotion of energy resource conservation. a. The development promotes efficient use of infrastructure by utilizing private streets maintained by the HOA, reducing demand on City resources such as roadway maintenance and snow removal. Additionally, on-site stormwater management will be privately maintained, further minimizing impacts on public systems while supporting sustainable and efficient service provision. 9. Establishing measures to protect and preserve groundwater storage. a. Our proposal supports groundwater protection by utilizing the existing wet detention and irrigation reuse system that has been constructed on Outlot B, and an infiltration pond has been built on Outlot C. Per our initial review with our engineers, the existing ponds have been built to service all the outlots within the original Bridgewater Village development. Additionally, the proposed stormwater management system for the Bridgewater Village development: i. Reduces peak discharge rates and volumes to the maximum extent practicable for all locations where discharge leaves the site for the 2-, 10- 100-year 24-hour and 100-year 10-day snowmelt events, ii. Provides volume reduction greater than 1.1-inches of runoff over new and reconstructed impervious surfaces through a combination of irrigation reuse and surface infiltration, iii. Pretreats stormwater runoff to greater than 25-percent TSS removal prior to infiltration, iv. Provides greater than two feet of separation between minimum building elevation and 100-year HWL, v. Meets permanent pool volume requirements as defined by the NPDES permit, and vi. Limits discharge from the stormwater pond to less than 5.66-cfs/ac for the 1.1- inch water quality event as defined by the NPDES permit. 10. Allowing the development to operate in concert with a redevelopment plan in certain areas of the City and to ensure the redevelopment goals and objectives will be achieved. a. The proposal advances the City’s redevelopment objectives by facilitating continued buildout within the approved Bridgewater Development. It remains consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Lake Elmo Village Vision Study, reinforcing the City’s long-term vision for coordinated, high-quality development. Pulte Townhomes and Homeowners Association Pulte Homes is known for the extraordinary steps that we take to ensure that we are designing and building homes that meet the needs and desires of home buyers. You can visit this link to learn more about Pulte’s homebuilding process https://www.pulte.com/design/life-tested. We continually reach out to home buyers and Pulte homeowners to get feedback to improve our home designs. It is what we call Life Tested®. Through this intensive process, we have conceived of and incorporated innovative features such as the Pulte Planning Center, the Everyday Entry, Super Laundry, Oversized Pantry, and the Owner’s Retreat. This exhaustive process has played a major part in Pulte’s success in “Building Incredible Places Where People Can Live Their Dreams.”
