Introduction
On behalf of Level 7 Development LLC, Landform is pleased to submit this application for preliminary plat and final
plat approval to allow construction of 39 villa homes. The project will plat Outlots A and C of Avienda into 39 unit lots,
three common lots and three outlots. We are excited to offer new homes in the Avienda development.
Preliminary Plat
We have begun grading the site and are preparing for construction of Bluff Creek Boulevard, Avienda Parkway and
the related utilities to serve the site. The plat to create the right-of-way and outlots is under review at the County and
is expected to be finalized and recorded this month.
PUD Standards
The preliminary plat shows 39 new villa homes surrounded by a common lots with green space, which is consistent
with the approved PUD. The robust landscape plan exceeds ordinance requirements.
As part of the original PUD approvals, the City required Avienda to provide a connection from the existing Mills Drive
on the west to Avienda Parkway. This new public street connection is provided and will provide access for 12 of the
new homes. A private drive will be constructed north of Mills Drive to serve the other homes in Block 1 and a private
drive from Bluff Creek Boulevard will serve the eight homes in Block 3. The private drives are 28 feet wide with
parking on one side of the drive.
Architecture
The homes will be constructed by Charles Cudd Co. and will provide two high-quality housing options as Phase 1 of
Avienda. The homes in Blocks 1 and 2 are planned as the Coventry villas. The homes are a mix of slab-on-grade,
lookout and walkout styles with two-car garages. The homes in Block 3 are planned as the Interlachen villa walkouts
with three-car sideloaded garages. These homes have been designed to take advantage of the views to the wooded
area on the south.
Final Plat
Final Plat
We are requesting approval of the final plat for these 39 new homes to be processed concurrently with the
preliminary plat. The final plat is in conformance with the preliminary plat and PUD approvals.
Summary
We respectfully request approval of the Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for “Avienda Townhomes” to allow
construction of 39 new homes in Avienda. We request that this item be placed on the October 5th Planning
Commission and October 25th City Council agendas.
