types including walkouts, lookouts, and full basement homesites. The elevation along the eastern and western borders will drop off in each direction raising the site above the Minnesota Transfer Railway. Utilities The site is located within the MUSA and is provided with trunk utilities to the south at the 14th Street entrance and to the west along the Northwest Parkway. An 12-inch watermain and 15-inch sanitary sewer lateral is provided from the 14th Street entrance and an 8-inch watermains and 8-inch sanitary sewer laterals are provided from the Northwest Parkway entrance. PROPOSED PLAN General Description Located along the west side of Old Highway 8 and surrounded by Long Lake Regional Park the Enclave will create an "urban village" within the New Brighton Exchange. This unique design opportunity for redevelopment, within the award winning Mounds View School District, seeks to expand housing opportunities within New Brighton and preserves much of the original elements of the New Brighton Exchange. In response, Pulte Homes enlisted the assistance of Mr. Paul Heuer of Stantec who considered the site's original design elements and then worked to develop a planned community that prioritizes pedestrian movements, provides unique and individual lot geometries, works to limit long continuous internal sightlines to calm traffic and provides internal access to points of interest. As a result, Pulte Homes is respectfully requesting consideration of the Enclave at New Brighton Exchange, a planned community, that provides for 89 single family homes, 32 Discovery Row townhomes, four outlots, internal and perimeter pedestrian connectivity, hierarchy of street patterns with the extension of Northwest Parkway and 14th Street as boulevard roadway sections, non-traditional urban village lots and association maintained landscaped and irrigated outlots along the Minnesota Transfer Railway and Long Lake Regional Park. The current plan proposes that a primary access be provided at 14th Street NW and along the extension of Northwest Parkway. 14th Street will also provide direct access to the future City Park located within Outlot A. Both access points are to be provided with a landscaped center median or parkway, entry monuments and a pedestrian connection to the trail along the western side of the property. It is intended that the 14th Street entrance and monuments be provided with architectural and landscape features similar to the existing monuments along Old Highway 8 area in order to provide visual connectivity. It is also intended that architectural and landscape features extend west along Northwest Parkway in association with the 14th Street entrance. The project currently proposes that all single family home lot dimensions, setbacks and areas be as outlined below: Dimensional Standards (minimums) Lot Area 7,200 SF Lot Width at Setback 60-feet Lot Depth 120-feet Setbacks Front 25-feet Side— Living Space 5-feet Side—Garage 5-feet Rear 20-feet Enclave at New Brighton Exchange PUD Submittal August 29, 2013 New Brighton, MN Page 2 of 5
