not shown on the plans, the applicant has indicated that there would be a dock constructed to extend into Oneka Lake for public use. The developer has indicated that an HOA will be established for the development to maintain community areas and landscaping. The sketch plan shows three housing product types: single family homes, maintenance provided villas, and maintenance provided townhomes. The townhomes are shown to the northwest of the site. Staff does have concerns on the buffer between the townhomes and the industrial uses to the west. Although the landscape plan shows a landscape buffer, staff recommends the applicant review the townhome lot layout to provide further separation from the industrial uses. The villa product is shown along Oneka Lake and on the west side of the project. There is not a good transition from the villa product and single family homes. Staff recommends the applicant consider clustering the villa products to a section of the project and provide appropriate transitions between the product types. Planned Unit Development The Lincoln Group will be requesting an approval of a PUD for the Creekside Heights development. PUD's offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing, and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the 132 -acre site to create 251 residential home sites. The R-3 zoning district requires a minimum lot width of 80 feet. The applicant is proposing a combination of product types and lot widths listed below: Product Type Proposed Lot Width Proposed No. of Lots Single Family Homes 65 feet 136 Villa Homes 55 feet 76 Townhomes 30 feet 44 The applicant is proposing the following setbacks: Single Family and Villa Homes Yard R-3 Zoning District Minimum Proposed Setbacks Front 30 feet 25 feet Side 10 feet 7.5 feet (15 feet total between homes) Rear 30 feet 25 feet It's unclear from the sketch plan and information provided by the applicant how the setbacks would be applied to the townhomes. Further, it is hard to determine the setbacks because the townhomes are usually surrounded by common open space. Staff will continue to work with the applicant on the setbacks for the townhomes. However, staff does recommend at least 30 feet
