MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM:
DATE:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
November 10, 2003
SUB J:
Walnut Grove 2nd Addition
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Rezoning of the property to R4 to permit a single-family home and two twin
homes (four units); subdivision approval creating five lots and one outlot with a
variance for the use of a private street for access; and a conditional use permit
for development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District.
The Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning and
consequently denial of the subdivision and conditional use permit due to
inconsistency with the zoning. The primary issues the Planning Commission
had were resolving the turnaround and the configuration of Lot 5. "The
Planning Commission recommended denial on the basis that the cul-de-sac
situation has not been addressed by this proposal. It's currently a temporary
cul-de-sac at the end of that private road. Temporary with the intent that it
would go away at some point and there will be a turnaround further down that
road. There is no such provision in this proposal. At least some of the Planning
Commission have concerns about the, should I say, intensity of how the current
proposal places dwellings right on the setback lines, and puts them in a way that
could be termed shoe-horned in. That makes very funky lot shapes. That's the
main things."
Staff has worked with the applicant to resolve the turnaround issue, creating a
"hammer-head" on the south end of the private street. As to the lot
configuration, the applicant could have platted a lot that was rectangular in
shape that extended from the east property line to Galpin Boulevard. However,
staff requested that the majority of the Bluff Creek primary zone be located
within a separate Outlot that could be deeded to the city or be held as an
undevelopable, association Outlot. The proposed preliminary plat provides that
opportunity. Additionally, the dwelling sizes are very similar to the bungalow
units within the Walnut Grove Development. If the issue is to preclude door
opening for future decks or patios, staff recommends that we prohibit
ingress/egress openings, such as entrance doors or sliding doors on the side of
the structure adjacent to the primary zone setback if there is not at least 12 feet
from the building to the primary zone setback.

The Planning Commission and the residents on Baneberry Way West have
requested relocating the existing temporary cul-de-sac at the end of Baneberry
Way West further toward the west within the new subdivision. The applicant
has accepted the idea to revise the plans and now proposes a hammer head
turnaround. At this stage, the Engineering Department and the Fire Marshal are
fine with the proposed turnaround.
The Planning Commission questioned whether construction traffic can access
the site from the west side of the property off of Galpin Boulevard. The
Engineering Department has no objection to access off of Galpin Boulevard if
Carver County gives approval, provided that the applicant submits a copy of the
approval to the city.
Staff believes the development is very complementary and compatible with the
Walnut Grove development and is recommending approval of the rezoning to
R4, the preliminary plat creating five lots and one Outlot, and the conditional
use permit.
ACTION REQUIRED
City Council approval requires a majority vote of the entire City Council. City
Council may: 1) grant approval of the preliminary plat, with or without
modification or conditions, 2) refer the preliminary plat to the Planning
Commission or appropriate city staff, or 3) disapprove the preliminary plat. If
the plat is not approved, the City Council shall state the reasons for denial on the
record.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 21, 2003, to review
the proposed development. The Planning Commission voted 4 in favor and 1
abstention to deny the rezoning, preliminary plat and conditional use permit.
The summary and verbatim minutes are item la of the City Council packet for
November 10, 2003.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following three motions:
· Approval of the rezoning of the property from Agricultural Estate
District (A2) to Mixed Low Density Residential District (R4);
· Approval of preliminary plat for Walnut Grove Second Addition as
shown in plans prepared by Otto Associates dated August 18, 2003

APPLICANT:
Request for rezoning from Agricultural Estate District, A2, to Mixed Low Density
Residential District, R4; preliminary plat approval creating five lots consisting of one
single-family home and four twin home units with a variance for the use of a private
street; and conditional use permit approval for development within the Bluff Creek

PRESENT ZONING:
Agricultural Estate District, A2, and Bluff Creek Overlay District, BCO
2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential - Low Density (net density 1.2 - 4.0 units per acre)
ACREAGE: 3.09 DENSITY: 1.62 gross, 2.88 net
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezoning of the property to R4 to permit a single-family home and
two twin homes; subdivision approval creating five lots and one outlot containing Bluff Creek and the
majority of the Bluff Creek primary zone with a variance for the use of a private street for access;
and a conditional use permit for development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City has a relatively high level
of discretion in approving rezonings, PUD's, and amendments to PUD's because the City is acting
in its legislative or policy making capacity. A rezoning or PUD, and amendment thereto, must be
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the proposed
plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance. If it meets these
standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The City has limited discretion in approving or denying conditional use permits, based on whether
or not the proposal meets the conditional use permit standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.
If the City finds that all the applicable conditional use permit standards are met, the permit
must be approved. This is a quasi-judicial decision.

The developer is proposing an infill development creating two new two-family buildings. The existing
house will remain on one lot within the development. The surrounding property was developed as part of
the Walnut Grove development. This project proposes extending the private street to serve four additional
dwelling units in 2 two-family homes (which was contemplated as part of the Walnut Grove development),
which was required to record an access easement for this property. Sewer and water is available through
the Walnut Grove project.
The site is heavily wooded in the southern one-third of the site, adjacent to Bluff Creek. The property
slopes from a high point in the northeast comer at elevation 984 down to the creek at an elevation of 944.
The developer is preserving the southern portion of the property as part of Outlot A.

PROPOSAL~UMMARY
The applicant is rezoning the property to Mixed Low Density Residential District, R4, which permits
single-family lots of 15,000 square feet and twin home lots of 10,000 square feet per unit. In conjunction
with the rezoning, the applicant is subdividing the property to create a single-family home lot around the
existing house and four twin home lots. Access to the existing home is proposed to remain off Galpin
Boulevard. Access to the twin homes will be via a private street which will connect to Baneberry Way,
which is also a private street. A conditional use permit is required for all development within the Bluff
Creek Overlay district.
The subdivision of the property is straightforward with the creation of five lots for development and one
outlot, which will remain natural in appearance and preserved as open space. The applicant has included
the majority of the Bluff Creek Primary Zone in Outlot A. Conservation easements shall be placed over
all areas within the Bluff Creek primary zone. This will allow the City to restore and/or manage the
natural resources in these areas. The developer may dedicate Outlot A to the city.
The proposed development complies with all zoning requirements and is consistent with the comprehensive
plan. Staff is recommending approval of the rezoning, subdivision, and conditional use permit.
BACKGROUND
The house was built in 1908. Development of Walnut Grove, the project to the east, began in 1997. An
access easement, permitting the property to use Baneberry Way West, was recorded as part of the plat for
Walnut Grove.

LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION
Tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations have been submitted for Walnut Grove 2nd
Addition. They are as follows:
Total upland area (excluding wetlands)
Baseline canopy coverage
Minimum canopy coverage allowed
Proposed tree preservation
132,200 SF or 3.03 ac.
36% or 47,485 SF
30% or 39,660 SF
34% or 44,533 SF
Developer does meet minimum canopy coverage requirements.
Bufferyard plantings are required along Galpin Boulevard for Lots 2-4. Total plantings required are:
1 overstory
2 understory
4 shrubs
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Walnut Grove Second Addition will have four lots that are subject to a park dedication fee and one lot (the
existing home), which is exempt from park dedication. Prior to recording the final plat, the development is
subject to the payment of $9,600 in park dedication fees ($2,400 per unit) based on 2003 park fees.
WETLANDS
One wetland basin exists on-site. The wetland is an ag/urban wetland that is a part of the Bluff Creek
corridor. It is dominated by reed canary grass. No wetland impact is proposed.
A wetland buffer of 0 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 10 feet) must be maintained
around the wetland. In order to accommodate the proposed building location on Lot 4, the wetland
buffer should be 0 along the east side of the wetland and should be 20 ft. on the north and west sides.
Wetland buffer areas should be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland
ordinance. The applicant must install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before
construction begins and must pay the City $20 per sign. The grading and erosion control plan should
show the actual wetland buffer widths proposed to meet the minimum average buffer width
requirements as well as the 40-foot wetland buffer setback. All structures shall maintain at least a
40-foot setback from the edge of the wetland buffer or, if no buffer is to be preserved, from the
delineated wetland edge.
BLUFF CREEK OVERLAY DISTRICT
The Bluff Creek Overlay District was adopted in December 1998 as a tool for the preservation of Bluff
Creek and the natural resources within its corridor. Bluff Creek flows through the southern portion of
this property. The property also contains a forested riparian corridor and an ag/urban wetland. The
primary zone encompasses the forested area, the wetland, and the wetland buffer. The secondary zone
October 21, 2003
Page 4
encompasses the primary zone and the first 20 feet of the setback. A conservation easement should be
dedicated over the primary zone. All structures must maintain at least a 40 foot setback from the
primary zone. No disturbance of the site may occur within the first 20 feet of the setback. No
alterations are proposed within the overlay district. Open space must comprise 100% of the primary
zone.
GRADING~ DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
The plans propose to grade about 25% of the site for the new house pads, a proposed private driveway,
nd a storm water pond. The proposed lots are located in the east central portion of the site. The
proposed grading will prepare the site for full basement house pads on Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5, Block 1.
The existing site drainage flows south toward the existing creek. The plans propose to convey the
northeasterly quadrant drainage to a proposed structure and carry the storm water via storm sewer to a
proposed NURP pond. The remaining portion of the site will drain overland to the proposed storm water
pond and/or the creek. Staff is recommending the creation of two swales between Lots 1 & 2 and
Lots 3 & 4 to minimize neighborhood drainage impact on the houses.
The applicant will be required to meet the existing site runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year,
24-hour storm events. The proposed pond must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
standards. The storm sewer must be designed for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and utility
easements shall be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds,
drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level. The minimum easement width shall be
20 feet wide.
Staff recommends that Type III silt fence be used along the south side adjacent to the secondary bluff
creek line and Type II silt fence along the east and west sides of the grading area. In addition, tree
preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. A 75-foot minimum rock
construction entrance must be added to the entrance that will be accessed during construction. The
applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate
property owner.
Storm Water Management
The proposed development is required to maintain existing runoff rates. On-site storm water ponding
must be sufficient to meet all City water quality and quantity standards. A manhole with a two-foot
sump should be installed as the last road accessible structure prior to discharge into the storm water
pond. Riprap and geotextile fabric should be installed at the flared end sections of the inlet and outlet of
the storm water pond.
Easements
Drainage and utility easements should be provided over all existing wetlands, wetland buffer areas, and
storm water infrastructure. A drainage and utility easement should be dedicated over the 10 feet either
side of the property line between Lots 3 and 4 in order to accommodate access for future storm water
infrastructure maintenance. A drainage and utility easement should also be dedicated over the area in
October 21, 2003
Page 5
the southwestern portion of Lot 3 that is currently not encumbered by a drainage and utility easement
since water discharged from the storm water pond will flow through this area as it moves toward the
wetland.
Erosion Control
Type III silt fence should be provided adjacent to all areas to be preserved as buffer or, if no buffer is to
be preserved, at the delineated wetland edge. All upland areas disturbed as a result of construction
activities shall be immediately restored with seed and disc-mulched, covered with a wood-fiber blanket, or
sodded within two weeks of completion of each activity in accordance with the City' s Best Management
Practice Handbook.
Surface Water Management Fees
Water Quality Fees
Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this
proposed development are based on single-family residential development rates of $949/acre. Based on the
proposed developed area of approximately 2.24 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are
$2,126.
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide
rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP
culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Single-family residential
developments have a connection charge of $2,348 per developable acre. This results in a water quantity fee
of approximately $5,259 for the proposed development.
SWMP Credits
This project proposes the construction of a NURP pond. The applicant will be credited for water quality
where NURP basins are provided to treat runoff from the site. This will be determined upon review of
the ponding and storm sewer calculations. Credits may also be applied to the applicant's SWMP fees
for oversizing in accordance with the SWMP or the provision of outlet structures. The applicant will not
be assessed for areas that are dedicated outlots. No credit will be given for temporary pond areas.
At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due and payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is
$7,385.
Other Agencies
The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) and comply with their
conditions of approval.
October 21, 2003
Page 6
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from Baneberry Way. The existing house on
Lot 1 is already connected to municipal sewer and water. The applicant is proposing to extend sewer and
water lines along the private driveway to service proposed Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5. The proposed sanitary
manholes must be low enough to serve the basement of Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5, Block 1 and public utility lines
must be 10-feet inside the property line.
According to the City's Finance Department records, the parcel was previously assessed for one sanitary
sewer and water hookup. Since the developer will be responsible for extending lateral sewer and water
service to the lots, the sanitary sewer and water connection charges will be waived. However, the sanitary
sewer and water hookup charges will still be applicable for each of the new lots. The 2003 trunk hookup
charge is $1,440 for sanitary sewer and $1,876 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees
may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance.
All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of
Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the utilities will be
turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The applicant is also required to enter into a
development contract with the City and supply the necessary financial security in the form of a letter of
credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the conditions of final plat approval.
Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the
MPCA, Department of Health, MCES, and Watershed District.
STREETS
The applicant is proposing two accesses to the proposed lots. On the northwest comer of the parcel, an
existing access off Galpin Lake Road will be utilized to serve the existing house on Lot 1. Another
proposed new access off of Baneberry Way turning point will be servicing Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 as a private
driveway. As such, the driveway easement must be 30 feet wide with 20-feet of hard surface pavement and
built to a 7-ton design. The developer must submit an inspection report certifying that the private street is
built to a 7-ton design prior to certificate of occupancy. There is an existing turnaround at the end of
Baneberry Way; Because of this, the Fire Marshal is not requiring an additional turnaround.
EASEMENTS
Conservation easements shall be dedicated over all areas within the Bluff Creek primary zone.
REZONING/COM PLAN (If required)
The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse affects of
the proposed amendment. The six (6) affects and our findings regarding them are:
a)
The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive
October 21, 2003
Page 7
Plan. The property is guided for Residential - Low Density uses. R4 is an appropriate
zoning for the property.
b)
The proposed use is or will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the
area. This development will develop at a lower density than the property to the east.
c)
The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance.
d) The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
e)
The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the city's service capacity.
Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property. Access to the existing house will be via the existing driveway on Galpin
Boulevard. The additional dwellings will be accessed via Baneberry Way West, a private
street.

PRIVATE STREET FINDINGS
In order to permit private streets, the city must find that the following conditions exist:
1)
The prevailing development pattern makes it unfeasible or inappropriate to construct a public
street. The site is being accessed via an existing private street through the Walnut Grove
development for which an access easement was recorded as part of the Walnut Grove
development. The location of the Bluff Creek Primary zone and the small wetland on site make
it unfeasible to construct a public street.
October 21, 2003
Page 8
2)
After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an extension of the public street system
is not required to serve other parcels in the area, improve access, or to provide a street system
consistent with the comprehensive plan. No additional access will be permitted to Galpin
Boulevard.
3) The use of the private street will permit enhanced protection of the city's natural resources
including wetlands and forested areas located in the Bluff Creek primary zone.

conditions of the land, the Bluff Creek primary zone.
3) The conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally applicable to other
property.
Finding: The conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally applicable to
other properties due to the unique site features.
4) The granting of the variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare and is in

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE:
Application of Klingelhutz Development for Rezoning, Subdivision and Conditional Use Permit
approval.
On October 21, 2003, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to
consider the application of Klingelhutz Development for rezoning from Agricultural Estate District, A2,
to Mixed Low Density Residential District, R4; preliminary plat approval creating five lots consisting of
one single-family home and four two-family home units, with a variance for the use of a private street
and a conditional use permit for development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed development preceded by published and
mailed notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak
and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
o
°
°
The property is currently zoned Agricultural Estate District and is located within the Bluff
Creek Overlay District.
The property is guided in the Land Use Plan for Residential - Low Density use.
The legal description of the property is: see Exhibit A
The proposed subdivision is inconsistent with the zoning ordinance. The rezoning of the
property to R4 is consistent with the land use designation of the property for Residential - Low
Density use. The proposed development complies with the Bluff Creek Overlay standards.
However, the proposed development does not meet the intent of the Bluff Creek Overlay
district.
The proposed development is inconsistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans
including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan.
The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils,
vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and storm water
drainage are suitable for the proposed development.
October 21, 2003
Page 18
The proposed development makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage
disposal, erosion control and all other improvements required by the city. The proposed
development does not adequately address the relocation of the turn-around.
8. The proposed development will not cause significant environmental damage.
9. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record.
10. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the following
exists:
Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
Lack of adequate roads.
Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
11.
The planning report # 03-16 Subdivision, 03-6 CLIP, 03-4 Rezoning dated October 21,
2003, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve deny the
Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 21st day of October, 2003.

Re: Proposed Walnut Grove Second Addition Development
Mr. Generous:
Thank you for sending a copy of the 2003-16 Site Plan, Walnut Grove Second Addition development to the SWCD
office. Please review the following storm water, erosion, and sediment control comments and recommendations.
Storm Water
Beginning March 10, 2003 all developments disturbing 1-acre or more or part of a contiguous development which
will disturb more than 1-acre require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the
Pollution Control Agency (PCA). The owner / operator of the proposed development must apply for and receive the
NPDES permit prior to beginning construction activities.
Any development disturbing more than 1-acre and creating more than 1-acre of impervious surface must also have
permanent storm water treatment It appears this is being done as the Walnut Grove preliminary plan shows the
storm water runoff.being managed by a proposed storm water basin.
High water levels / elevations of the pond and wetland and the elevations of the lowest level of the proposed
walkouts should be double checked. It appears the elevations of the dwellings may be too low.
Erosion Control
Riprap and geotextile fabric needs to be installed at the flared end sections of the inlet and outlet of the storm water
basin.
Sediment Control
The proposed silt fence should be extended 40 feet to the east and 20 feet to the west; the ends of the silt fence
should be angled up-slope in a crescent or 'smile' formation.
A light duty silt fence should be installed between the duplexes and the storm water pond following the outlet
installation and during home construction.
Inlet control is needed following installation of inlet structures. Inlet control methods will be varied before and after
pavement of the street. Before pavement, inlet protection could consist of heavy-duty mono-mono silt fence with 4
foot spacing of metal T-posts and 1" rock around silt fence material. After pavement, mulch socks, sand bags or
rock and wire could be used as temporary inlet control.
If there are any questions regarding this review please contact the SWCD office.

WALNUT GROVE
BUNGALOWS
Rottlund Homes is proposing to replace the Cottages with a new concept called "The Bungalows."
The Bungalows would also be primarily a one level detached townhouse. They are still targeted
toward the same market of empty nesters and retirees with about the same sq. f~. and price range.
There is approximately 1350 - 1600 sq. ft. on the main level with potential expansion with story &
1/2, and walk-out opportunities to bring finished sq. footage up to 2500. The price range would be
approximately $140 - $200,000. The key differences are the shape of the unit, its architectural style,
its orientation to the street and the position of garage. The goal is to create a more traditional feeling
to the detached townhouse site area, in architectural and streetscape. The Bungalows are 36' wide
instead of 32' and approximately 58' deep instead of 72'; more square than a long, narrow
rectangle. The lot size would be approximately 50' x 100' instead of 47' x 110'. The garage is inset
into the house. This is to project the front entry and front porch more toward the street than the
garage. The architecture style is that of pre war Midwest and New England which promote front
porches and stoops, stone & brick columns, and 8 1/2 roof pitch.
The Bungalow fits square to the street instead of the 30 degree angle of the Cottages. This allows
more detail and development of the front yard and the front porch instead of the side yard. The
architecture is a more traditional "Bungalow" style to also promote the front entry stoop or porch.
Elevations are still being developed but the concept is to have 3 to 4 floor plans with a minimum of
two elevations each, and to offer side load opportunities whenever possible to create as much variety
as possible. The streetscape will appear more like a small single family lots than narrow lot detached
townhomes. There will also be an opportunity to mix up the garages to alternate two adjacent
garages and adjacent front yards with garages adjacent to front yards to also create more variety in
the streetscape. There is proposed four exterior color palettes to include siding, trim, stone or brick,
roofing and accent colors for the front doors and shutters. As with the exterior elevations, no two
color palettes will be adjacent to each other.
VILLAS AND VILLA TOWNHOMES
Villas
Rottlund Homes is introducing some new unit and building types for both the 2 story Villas and Villa
Townhomes. The Villa 12-unit clusters will still have end units with 2-car garages and single car
garages interior units, but the 8-unit cluster will have all its units with 2-car garages and totally
redesign floor plans and exteriors. In early concept design the 8-unit building end units will have
entry's on the end of the building and side load garages to create more variety in elevations and with
front entry's on all four sides of the building. The exterior of the 8-unit building is to be more
traditional with covered front stoops, shutters and picket fences.
By introducing new floor plans and a new building type into the Villas will assist in creating more
variety and a new look. How the final elevations of the two building types vary in design is still
developing.
Villa Townhomes
We are also introducing a different building type into the Villa Townhomes. The 6-unit "row type"
townhomes has 2-car garage end units, and 1-car garage interior units. The 4-unit buildings that had
the same condition now have all 2-car garages. This will create a different look between the 4 and 6-
unit buildings. Along with the slab on grade and the walk-out opportunities there will be more
variety among these eight buildings. The Villa Townhouse that overlook the central open space will
have the opportunity for covered patio doors, porches and picket fences to create more of a front
door/front porch feel along the open space.

VILLAS AND VILLA TOWNHOMES cont.
Villa & Villa Townhomes
In general with the introduction of the new floor plans, building types, and exterior elevations there is
considerably more variety in the Villa and Villa Townhomes portion of the development then
originally proposed.
The exterior colors in the Villas and Villa Townhomes can be up to four color palettes to include
siding, trim, stone or brick, roofing. How this will ultimately be distributed through out the site has
yet to be determined. Two possibilities are to assign one color palette to each cluster of 4 or 5
buildings of various building types, the other is to assign one palette to each of the 4 building types
(i.e. 8 unit Villa, 12 unit Villa, 4 unit Villa Townhome and 6 unit Villa Townhome.) We recommend
working with the city on the determining colors for each building and final elevations.
It is also intended that all of the 96 Villa units be priced at or below the Livable Communities Act
affordable housing threshold.
