CASE #: <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW <br />CASE OF PULTE HOMES <br /> By: Megan Wald, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City is in receipt of a concept pian for the development of 190 acres located north of <br />Highway # 10, west of Armstrong Blvd., andsouth of Alpine Drive. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site Location Map <br />b) Zoning Map <br />c) Sketch Plan <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The subject property is zoned a combination, off TC-2 (Town Center), high density, medium <br />density, and low density residential. The TC,2 district is guided for auto-oriented and larger scale <br />commercial/retail buildings. City Code establishes high density at 7-15 traits per acre, medium <br />density at 3-7 units per acre, and low density at 3 units per acre. The sketch plan .is a first attempt <br />to provide a conceptual layout showing how sevoral land uses can be integrated into a mixed use <br />development. <br /> <br />Sketch Plan Analysis: <br /> · The sketch plan is providing several different types of residential unit styles <br /> throughout the development. The unit types include: small lot 'single family (66 feet. <br /> wide lots), court homes (similar to. twin home concept), row house townhomes, back <br /> to back townh6meS, and apartment facilities. <br /> <br />Approximately 98 acres of the tOtal 190 acre site is proposing to be developed with <br />residential units for a net density of aPproximately 8.0 units per acre. Detailed <br />analysis of density calculations within each zoning district will be completed as part <br />of the preliminary plat .review.' <br /> <br />36 acres is proposing to be developed with commercial uses. A portion of the property <br />is already zoned TC-2 (18 acres), the :remaining 18 acres of proposed commercial area <br />will need to be rezoned to commercial. It is staff's understanding that the developer <br />will solicit a commercial/retail developer to purchase the commercial area. <br /> <br /> The concept plan is providing 'a' major north/south street connection through the <br />· development to Alpine Drive. The proposed road alignment with County Road 116 to <br />the east is desirable. Staff would suggest that the developer continue to look at how to <br />provide a stronger east/west connection throughout the development. The subdivision <br />is incorporating the City's desire to reserve a 300 foot wide corridor to facilitate the <br />future Mississippi River bridge crossing. Detail review of public and private street <br />widths and layout will need to be reviewed during preliminary plat submittal. <br /> <br /> <br />
