Ms. Willi_a~Goodr£ch January 2~ 1993 3. F~bli~ Use of Land As a pare of the PUD approval, the City required that a deed restriction~be imposed on the deed ~rom the City to the golf course owners, requiring that the golf course be perpetually open for public 91ay, at ra~es comparable ~o other local public courses. F~r all practical p~rposes, the City received a free municipal golf course without =he attendant headaches of ownership. ~or any subsequent developer to claim =he right %0 our trear~men~, his project would also need to have created a substantial ~ublic recreational opportunity. Grandfather's Rights to Higher Densit? Prior to pla:ting Rum River Kills, we had been assessed ~or a road ~prove~ient project on a portion of our land based on a densit~ formula which produced far more assessments than would have been th~ case under a one-in-ten acre density, which was in effect a= ~he! time of the PUD. The number of lots we were allowed was ~ recognition of ~hese rights and was a compromise. In addition,~he PUD ordinance does not have any density goals or requirements. k case-by-case review is done. 5. Downscal%ng .ADproved Densit~ ~. The approved narrative for the PUD called for a densit~ of up =o 10 unics per acre for Outlo= C, which would mean.about 36 unins. We are asking ~or a lower densitt, looking for 12 units on 4.6 acres as opposed to 36 unics on 3.6 acres. " 6. Backup. Drainfield 3~reas The CiTy requi=ed, as a condition of approval o~ the PUD, =hat we obtain easements over all 120+ acres of golf course ~aiL~a~s =o accommodate backup systems ~or possible d~ain~ield ~ailures. This =ransla=es~ =o about an additional 3.4 acres of land for eve_-wy lo= in th~ subdivision. In short, for s=bsequent developers to claim =ha= approval of our current replat ~Would entitle ~hem to~do, townhouse development of a similar nature, I believe ~ha= thei~roposal would need to meet ~he ~ollowing criteria: " (1) ~e of similar size (150+ acres); · (2) Be proposed as a PUD, with multiple land uses; (3) Contain a major public rec_ea=lona! facility;
