The private street will be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association, reducing long-term public <br />maintenance obligations while maintaining full functionality. Street lighting, installed and maintained by Xcel <br />Energy, is incorporated into the Development and the park area. <br />Open Space, Park, and Stormwater Management <br />The revised plan enhances the open space framework established in the previously approved development. <br />The public park In the Southwest portion of the site has been increased from approximately 0.45 acres to <br />approximately 0.50 acres. The park will provide recreational opportunities and pedestrian connectivity to <br />150th Street. Lighting and parking stalls are proposed adjacent to park and the developer has provided water <br />and sewer access to park for the cities future uses. Additional open space has been incorporated into the <br />central portion of the development, improving usability and reinforcing a pedestrian-oriented design. <br />Stormwater management has been significantly improved by eliminating internal ponding and consolidating <br />stormwater facilities to the northern portion of the site. Stormwater will be managed through a combination <br />expansion of the existing stormwater pond to the north of this site. The grounds will be irrigated with water <br />drawn from the stormwater basin rather than relying on potable water from the city system. The development <br />will be served by publicly owned sanitary sewer and water installed to city standards within an easement. The <br />storm drainage system will be maintained by the homeowner's association. The expanded stormwater basin <br />utilizes an existing drainage and utility easement and is designed to meet City and watershed requirements <br />while improving long-term performance and aesthetics. <br />The landscaping proposed exceeds city standards and includes leaving existing trees in areas where possible. <br />Trees at the west property line and park area will remain and the developer proposes additional tree planting <br />at the north property line. <br />Neighbor Coordination and Easement Improvements <br />The developer has proactively notified the 3 adjacent property owners regarding the proposed stormwater <br />improvements within the existing easement area. Work may include grading and limited tree removal <br />necessary to accommodate the expanded basin. The developer has committed to restoration, replacement <br />landscaping, and coordination with affected property owners to minimize impacts. <br />Parking and Circulation Efficiency <br />The development provides a total·ofapproximately 22~parking stalls, equating to 4$ stalls per unit. This <br />includes garage, driveway, and guest parking. This level of parking exceeds typical requirements and supports <br />both residents and visitors while minimizing the potential for congestion. The 50 town homes can be expected <br />to generate on average 8 trips per unit per day or 400 total. The park will generate minimal vehicular traffic. <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) Criteria and Justification <br />Section 90-141 of the City_of Hug9 Zoning_Code establishes the criteria required to jµstify the use of <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning. The proposed development meets each of these criteria as outlined <br />below: <br />Criteria 1 -Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan <br />Ordinance Language: The establishment of PUD zoning districts in appropriate settings and situations, to <br />create or maintain a development pattern that complies with the city 1s comprehensive plan.
