CENTRA HOMES,, In addition to this public trail, we have contemplated a mix of public and private sidewalks and trails through the site. The public sidewalks are adjacent to the public roads whereas the private trials and sidewalks are throughout the residential portion in various locations. In addition to using trails as a connection, we saw an opportunity to maximize the use of the roundabout by planning a public road running north to Bunker Lake Blvd. All of the remaining internal roads are contemplated to be private roads. After considering these important connections, our concept plan breaks down into three distinct neighborhoods - Retail Corner, High -Density Multi -Family and Detached Residential Uses. Retail CnrnPr- We located a potential Retail Corner at the intersection of 147th Ave NW and Armstrong Blvd. We have reserved over 3 acres for this potential use. We don't have a user for this space at this time, so we have not put a specific building in this area. Option #1 of our Concept Plan layout shows how access would serve this parcel and shares one idea of the size of building with associated parking would work on this land. We don't have a specific user at this time, so please just refer to this area for space planning purposes. As you know there is additional Retail Land available in this area and the Retail world is changing. Thus we created Option #2 of our Concept to give an idea how this Retail Corner could easily convert to additional Residential use if we are not able to find a user for this Retail Space. High -Density Multi -Family We propose aHigh-Density Multi -Family use south of the 147th Ave/Ramsey Blvd Extension (adjacent to the proposed Hotel Land). We have planned just over 3 Acres for this High -Density Use. Based on some very preliminary estimates we feel like this land would be able to support a 60+ Unit Apartment Neighborhood with the required mix of covered and uncovered parking per code. We have not spent the time to pull together architecture or spacing for the area at this time. We have just reserved the land area for high density uses. Detached Residential: The remaining land has been planned for detached residential uses. We have contemplated two types of detached residential uses - 20 foot wide rear loaded homes and 30 foot wide rear loaded homes.
