storage, parking (no boats, campers, or trailers) keeps the neighborhood looking orderly and well <br />maintained. <br />The Association also controls exterior modifications and drainage. With smaller lots, it's more critical <br />for homeowners and the Association to maintain pre -established drainage patterns, including drainage <br />swales between homes. <br />Homeowner Preference <br />M/I Homes has constructed thousands of Villa Homes throughout the Twin Cities metro area. What <br />we have learned in the process is that Villa buyers prefer a well-designed home with higher end <br />finishes, variety in exterior architecture, and private outdoor spaces. <br />Villa buyers are downsizing from a larger homes and want smaller spaces without the hassle of <br />exterior maintenance. These buyers prefer to spend their money on the look of the home and the <br />quality of the finishes, as opposed to buying a larger lot. Further, a larger lot drives up the cost of <br />exterior maintenance and makes the association maintenance less affordable. <br />Landscaping & Entrance <br />This villa neighborhood will be the northerly entrance to Adelaide Landing. Therefore, we plan to <br />install an enhanced buffer of a variety of trees along the project boundary to the north and west. This <br />buffer will be similar to the buffer that includes a variety of coniferous and deciduous trees installed <br />along the project boundary and 130th St. At the 137th St. entrance, a monument will be installed like the <br />current monument at the main entrance to Adelaide Landing, but on a smaller scale. Furthermore, we <br />anticipate working with the neighbors at the 137th St. entrance to remove the temporary cul de sac, <br />restore yards, and install the entrance monument and landscaping. <br />NM Homes Villa Neighborhoods <br />M/I Homes is the largest builder of villa communities in the Twin Cities, we have developed villa <br />neighborhoods in the following communities: <br />city <br />Lot Width <br />Side Yard Setback <br />Blaine <br />48 feet <br />4 feet <br />Dayton <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Corcoran <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Minnetrista <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Carver <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Victoria <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Waconia <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Prior Lake <br />50 feet <br />4 feet <br />Newport <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />Lake Elmo <br />50 feet <br />4 feet <br />Hudson <br />50 feet <br />4 feet <br />Farmington <br />50 feet <br />4 feet <br />Lakeville <br />50 feet <br />5 feet <br />
