THE PRESERVE ON SUNSET LAKE <br />CONCEPT NARRATIVE <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />C)PROPOSED SUBDIVISION DESCRIPTION: <br />Located next to Sunset Lake, the Wlaschin Family has decided to sell their land which Cheldon <br />Frank, a City of Hugo resident is the buyer and is moving forward to subdivide the 136.7 acre <br />property. <br />The project as proposed is an open space concept utilizing a 5 acre minimum lot size. The <br />overall density would remain as 10 acres, netting 13 lots for the subdivision. The open space <br />concept will allow us to preserve 27.26 acres of open space area and an additional 0.93 acres is <br />proposed to be donated to the City as an extension of their current park parcel that is owned <br />on Sunset Lake. The 27.26 total acres of open space equates to 20.62% of the total area of the <br />parcel to be subdivided and will offer trails for the residents for walking and horseback riding if <br />desired. The open space has been designed to preserve the high valued natural wetland <br />resource while allowing homes to be built on the existing farm fields of which would remain <br />relatively untouched except for where the roadway needs to be constructed.Pads would not be <br />constructed with the grading plan due to the number of natural walkout sites located on the <br />plan as proposed. <br />Prior to recording the final plat, we propose to split off a one-acre parcel to be given to the <br />family member on the northern portion of the lot, which will except them out of the final <br />subdivision and association.This is represented in the documents provided with the total <br />boundary and legal description of the overall parcel excluding this area. <br />With the proposed donation of land for the City Park expansion and the design of the project <br />which allows for the preservation of the high value wetland on the site meets with the intent of <br />the PUD ordinance allow for a lot size variation from the rural residential 10-acre standard lot <br />size.The development will also include the planting of a dedicated buffer surrounding the <br />wetland. The buffer will be a mixture of native grasses and wildflowers.We are also proposing <br />49 new trees be planted as a street scape for the project. The trees are all native species and <br />will help to add interest to areas of the project were only farm fields exist today.In addition to <br />the tree plantings we are proposing to transplant existing trees that exist in overgrown areas on <br />the property. These transplanted trees would be relocated to the right of way along CSAH 7 in <br />the vicinity of Lots 7, 8 and 9.
