Shores of Oneka Lake Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plat Submittal Page 1 March 14, 2022 Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat Application Shores of Oneka Lake Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat INTRODUCTION M/I Homes has entered into a purchase agreement to purchase property located between State Trunk Highway No. 61 and Oneka Lake. The 131.66-acre site is proposed to include a total of 218 lots including 109 single family lots, 40 twinhome lots, and 69 villa lots. There will also be a proposed 100-unit apartment complex in the northwest corner of the site that is not being considered at this time that will be developed by a different developer. The housing types are clustered giving the sense of smaller communities within the overall larger neighborhood. Villa Homes are single family homes with association maintenance of yard areas and snow removal. These homes meet the increasing demand for one-level living with association maintenance. Twinhomes will also be association maintained. The association maintenance of lawn areas and snow removal provides the homeowner with the freedom to travel, own a winter or summer home, or more time for recreation. The mix of housing types and varied lot sizes provides for diversity and interest in the community. Homebuyers will have the ability to select from a wide range of floor plans, exterior materials, architectural features, and landscape designs. Careful attention is paid to ensuring the use of varied elevations and materials to avoid any monotony of architecture from the street. Exterior materials include vinyl siding and may also include stone or brick accents. Attached are elevations for the wide range of floor plans. The site is currently zoned R-3 – Single Family Residential and FUS – Future Urban Service. In order to provide a mix of housing types, M/I is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development in order to allow for varied lot sizes to create diversity and interest in the community.
