<br />the bottom of that range. The Project can now reasonably be constructed at <br />28 units per acre or less. Accordingly, The Village seeks approval for a <br />project built at 28 units per acre, largely because in its experience, market <br />dynamics and design considerations can lead to minor variations in unit <br />mixes before the project’s conclusion. Rather than returning with a <br />proposed amendment after the public process is complete, The Village <br />requests a small density cushion now. The final PUD submission will <br />detail the precise configuration and unit mix. <br />Additionally, the Project was designed as high-density to fit the <br />neighborhood. The design began with the boulevard-style street intended <br />to compliment Stinson Parkway and dissuade users from viewing it as an <br />option for “cut through.” <br /> <br />Next, the Project recognizes neighboring uses: predominantly single <br />family to the west and north, and high-density residential or commercial <br />to the east and south. The resulting configuration sees two senior-living <br />buildings located north of the project’s boulevard, with considerable <br />setbacks from both the northern and western property lines and a three- <br />story, pitched-roof design to more closely resemble a single-family home. <br /> <br />The Village strategically located the market-rate building on the <br />Property’s southern portion near existing high-density uses. Because it is <br />market-rate, it is designed to appeal to the “renters-by-choice” <br />demographic. These users demand that their apartment look and feel <br />drastically different than a senior building. The architecture has a more <br />modern feel as a result, featuring a flat roof and loaded with amenities, <br />including a gathering area, pool, and dog run. The height was technically <br />reduced to four stories, but it is lower than the peak of a three-story <br />pitched roof. <br /> <br />3) Provision of adequate public infrastructure. All new development <br />must provide appropriate infrastructure to manage water, sewer, <br />runoff, streets, and access, and all other infrastructure needed to <br />adequately serve itself and protect the surrounding community. <br /> <br />The existing site is surrounded by public infrastructure available to serve <br />the proposed, scaled back, development plan proposed. While the <br />following paragraphs provide an overview, a more detailed engineering <br />summary has been provided to touch on specific items that will be <br />reviewed.
