Page 3 The site is relatively flat with a wetland area to the north and a stormwater pond on the parcel to the south. The site has been previously graded. The proposed amendment does not include any additional wetland impacts. 4. ANALYSIS: C. Level of Discretion in Decision Making The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the subdivision regulations in the City Code. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. The City has relatively high level of discretion in approving PUD amendments. A PUD amendment must be consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. The City may impose reasonable requirements in a PUD amendment not otherwise required if the City deems it necessary to promote the general health, safety, and welfare of the community. D. Consistency with the PUD and Ordinance Standards Preliminary Plat and PUD There primary revision to the plan is detaching the previously approved twin homes and creating narrower, detached homes, with one lot being added to the previously approved 24 lots. The proposed carriage homes have a building lot similar to the previously approved villa homes,which also received approval for a 6-foot side yard setback. The development is required to meet all of the conditions from the previously approved preliminary plat and PUD. The proposed plans meet the intent of the previously approved preliminary plat and PUD. The 25 homes proposed by the developer will bring the total lot count for the entire development from 218 lots to 219 lots, and result in a net density from 2.21 units per acre to 2.22 units per acre. This density is less than what would be allowed in a straight zoning single family development(3- 4 units per acre) and what would be allowed with a PUD (Up to 4 units per acre). The density is consistent with City requirements. Grading and Stormwater Management The site has been partially graded from the mass grading completed before previous phases of the development. There will be minor changes to grading with the proposed amendment. Park Dedication With the creation of an additional lot the developer will need to pay the park dedication fee of $3,400, in addition to the combination of land and fee as previously approved.
