CENTRA HOMES LLC To: City of Mounds View City Council Planning Commission City Staff Re: Concepts Plans for Excess City Owned Land We are excited to share with you our ideas and thoughts regarding how two parcels of land might develop into Residential Neighborhoods. We have focused on some excess land near Ardan Park and some land near Greenfield Park. We have tried to balance the desire for additional density with the existing uses of standard single family lots in the area. With these two competing ideas we have settled on proposed small lot detached single family homes but we have proposed two options regarding narrow lot homes. In addition we are open to suggestions and feedback regarding the proposal we have brought forward. Greenfield Park Land: This land is located off of Jackson Dr and adjacent north of Greenfield Park. The parcel of land is a tight site with Hwy 10 just to the north. As we looked at the land, we felt like the best option would be to have housing product with front doors facing Jackson Dr and garages in the rear of the house. We have contemplated detached homes with a private street providing access to the Garages. These homes would have a Homeowners Association to own and maintain the street as well as provide lawn/irrigation maintenance and snow removal. These homes are 20 feet wide with 5 foot side yard setbacks. We built a neighborhood in the City of Ramsey of a very similar product. We have included a picture of the completed homes, for reference. Ardan Park Land: We approached this land slightly differently since not all of the land is City Owned - we tried to highlight the land not owned by the City in our Concepts. We decided to propose two concepts for this land to provide another idea on how it might develop. Concept #1 for this area is a rear loaded home the same as the home contemplated for the Greenfield Park area.
