Submit a request for approval of the following Preliminary applications: a. PUD General Plan/Rezoning to PUD b. Preliminary Plat The applicant would develop plans based on the sketch plan comments and submit the abovementioned applications. The application would require a public hearing at the Planning Commission and City Council action. 2. Submit a request for Final Plat and PUD Final Plan If the City approves the preliminary requests the applicant may submit final plans. The final plat would only be approved by the City Council. B. Sketch Plan The Lincoln Group is planning to develop five parcels of land, which are owned by various property owners. The applicant has submitted affidavits that they have secured agreements for the Premier Bank property (68 acres), the Michael Riopel property (59 acres), the Thomas and Sandra Dreshar property (3 acres), and the Xcel Energy property (3 acres). The total project area on the sketch plan shows 132 acres. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the five parcels for a residential development. Staff will be working with the applicant on how to best plan the remaining outlots as far as use and ownership. The applicant will be requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the Creekside Heights development. The plan shows 251 proposed residential lots, stormwater ponding areas, openspace, sidewalk and trail connections, and road connections. Although it is not shown on the plans, the applicant has indicted 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
