All Ayes. Motion carried. Clearwater Cove — Concept Plan Community Development Intern, Rachel Leitz, presented on the Clearwater Cove Concept Plan from the applicant, DR Horton. Leitz described that the developer would be proposing a residential development on two vacant parcels located south of Frenchman Road (CR 8) and east of Everton Avenue. Leitz stated that the developer would like to get feedback on general layout, PUD request, housing types, road circulation and construction, and stormwater management/ water re -use. Leitz described that the concept plan shows 89 proposed lots. She stated that the developer would be proposing some type of phasing, where approximately 25 units would be completed within phase one and the major road connection (Oneka Parkway) to Frenchman Road would be constructed in phase two. Leitz stated that the developer would be requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for flexibility to implement the neighborhood design they are proposing. The developer would be asking for flexibility on lot sizes, setbacks, and shoreland requirements. In return, the City can expect trails and sidewalk connections, a public park with improvements, water re -use, and an efficient/ creative layout. Staff believes that the layout of the proposed Clearwater Cove development exceeds the City's standards for residential developments and meets PUD standards. Leitz updated the Planning Commission on the Parks Commission meeting held on May 13, 2015. She stated that there was positive feedback on the sidewalks and trails, as described, and stated the Parks Commission's interest in owning the park and having it open for public use. Leitz concluded by stating that it is in staff's opinion that the Clearwater Cove development is creatively planned with amenities for residents, which include a public park, sidewalks, trail connections, and a stormwater re -use system. Staff recommend that the Planning Commission provide feedback on the concept plan to D.R. Horton on general layout, PUD request, housing types, road circulation and construction and stormwater management/ water re -use. Commissioner Arcand asked what would be done in regards to the land -locked parcel.
