ADELAIDE LANDING <br />Hugo, Minnesota <br />PROJECT NARRATIVE <br />March 10, 2017 <br />Nestled among acres of wetlands, Adelaide Landing demonstrates an appreciation for the natural <br />environment. Preservation of the wetland system enhances connections with nature. The extensive <br />trail system meanders organically throughout the site allowing one to appreciate the open views and <br />wildlife. <br />Both street and trail connections are created to neighbors, to nature and to the surrounding <br />community. Trails lead to the centrally located park which is a gathering space for families to picnic, <br />kids to play or individuals to simply enjoy nature. Curved streets follow the edges of wetlands and <br />ponds to create a design where a majority of home sites back to open space. <br />A variety of lot sizes craft a community for those at different life stages and income levels. Home <br />styles will attract first time homebuyers, families with children as well as empty nesters. <br />LOCATION <br />The site is located at the northeast intersection of CSAH 61 and 130`h Street North. <br />GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST <br />Preliminary Plat and PUD approval is being sought for the 217-acre site. In all 319 units are <br />proposed creating a gross density of 1.5 units per acre. The net developable area of 146 acres creates <br />a net density of 2.2 units per acre, which is well below the maximum density of 4 units per acre in <br />the R-3 Zoning District. Generally, a combination of lot sizes is proposed: 45', 50', 65', 70' and 85' <br />widths. <br />Below is a comparison of the R-3 Zoning requirements versus the proposed lot sizes: <br />R-3 Zoning <br />District <br />Proposed <br />Villa Lots <br />Proposed <br />50' Wide Lots <br />Proposed <br />65' Wide Lots <br />Proposed <br />70' Wide Lots <br />Proposed <br />85' Wide Lots <br />Lot Size (min) <br />10,400 SF <br />5,850 SF <br />6,513 SF <br />8,450 SF <br />9,029 SF <br />11,050 SF <br />Lot Size (avg) <br />8,601 SF <br />8,138 SF <br />11,823 SF <br />10,529 SF <br />13,017 SF <br />Lot Width (min) <br />80 Ft <br />45 Ft <br />50 Ft <br />65 Ft <br />70 Ft <br />85 Ft <br />Lot Depth (min) <br />100 Ft <br />130 Ft <br />130 Ft <br />130 Ft <br />130 Ft <br />130 Ft <br />Front Setback (min) <br />30 Ft <br />20 Ft — Side Load Garage <br />25 Ft —Front Load Garage <br />25 Ft <br />25 Ft <br />25 Ft <br />25 Ft <br />Side Setback (min) <br />10 Ft <br />7.5 Ft <br />7.5 Ft <br />7.5 Ft <br />7.5 Ft <br />10 Ft <br />Rear Setback (min) <br />30 Ft <br />25 Ft <br />30 Ft <br />30 Ft <br />30 Ft <br />30 Ft <br />Bldg Height (max) <br />35 Ft <br />35 Ft <br />35 Ft <br />35 Ft <br />35 Ft <br />35 Ft <br />Lot Impervious (max) <br />50% <br />55% <br />50% <br />50% <br />50% <br />50% <br />Adelaide Landing Preliminary Plat/PUD — Narrative EXCELSIOR <br />i •77MEXM WGmp <br />
