The City Council is being asked to receive a presentation from Lennar Corporation, 16305 36th Avenue North, Plymouth, Minnesota related to a proposed residential subdivision of property located along the I-94 Corridor in a manner that is consistent with the City’s future land use map (as drafted). The sketch plan consists of 186 single family homes and 131 multi-family units on
109 acres of land immediately to the west of Keats Avenue and north of Hudson Boulevard
North. Lennar has agreed to purchase a portion of the property owned by Dale Properties in this area, in addition to the 40-acre former Mulligan Masters site currently owned by the Frandsen Bank and Trust.

its purpose. The Planning Commission conducted its review of the sketch plan on December 10, 2012. In addition to the sketch plan and associated documents, the Staff report to the Commission is also attached for review by the City Council.
Based on the City’s process, no action is required on this item. A representative from Lennar
Corporation will be in attendance at the Council meeting and present the sketch plan to the
Council.
