CC Regular Session 7. 3. Meeting Date: 02/22/2022 By: Chris Anderson, Community Development Information Title: Adopt Resolution#22-044 Approving Final Plat and Development Agreement for Lynwood Addition(Project No. 21-122); Case of U.S. Home Corporation DBA Lennar Purpose/Background: The City has received an application from Lennar(the "Applicant") for Final Plat approval for the first addition of Lynwood, a residential development of both attached townhomes and detached single family homes, located west of Armstrong Boulevard and north of Bunker Lake Boulevard(the "Subject Property"). Multiple approvals related to this project have already been granted, including a Comprehensive Plan Amendment(re-guided the Subject Property from High Density Residential to Medium Density Residential); a Zoning Amendment(rezoned a portion of the Subject Property from R-3 High Density Residential to R-2 Medium Density Residential); approval of the Preliminary Plat(September 28,2021); and approval of a Grading Agreement that allowed the Applicant to begin clearing/grubbing and mass grading of the Subject Property in December of 2021. Notification: No notification is required for Final Plat.Notification was required and previously provided for the Preliminary Plat, Zoning Amendment, and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: General Project Summary The overall project includes 125 attached townhomes and 12 detached single family homes. The Subject Property is approximately 34 acres in size. Zoning of the Subject Property is R-2 Residential (Medium Density) and R-1 Residential(MUSA) - 80 and is guided as Medium Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The overall density of the project is 5.57 units per acre. The project includes a combination of public and private roads and includes two (2) access points onto Armstrong Boulevard, one is a full access while the other is a right-in, right-out only. Final Plat The first addition includes 74 attached townhome units. It also includes construction of both accesses onto Armstrong Boulevard as well as turn lanes on Armstrong Boulevard. It appears that the final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat. Density Transitioninll Plantings The project is subject to density transitioning, due to the existing neighborhoods to the west and north. The single family homes are not part of the first addition(this area is being platted as Outlot B for now);however, some of the transitioning plantings will be installed initially. The remainder of the plantings will need to be installed with the second phase (when the single family lots are final platted). This is because there are two sections along the common boundary with the adjacent, existing neighborhoods where storm sewer infrastructure will be installed as part of phase two (serving the single family lots). If the plantings went in now,they'd all have to be torn out and replanted in a year or two. Alternatives Alternative 1: Approve the Final Plat and Development Agreement for the first addition of Lynwood. The Final Plat is consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat. Previously, approval was granted to commence clearing and
