Townhomes The townhomes will be a reintroduction of our most recent row style townhome built most recently in our Emery Village community in Champlin and Cobblestone Lakes community in Apple Valley. The Discovery Row towhome is a three-story, rear load garage townhome comprised of 4- to 5-units per building. Unit sizes vary from end units at 2,220 square feet to middle units at 2,000 square feet. While tucked tightly to Old Highway 8, creating an urban boulevard corridor, these townhome units will be setback 10-feet from the pedestrian connections along Old Highway 8. Example elevations and floor plans are included with this submittal. Home Owners Association Pulte will establish the Enclave at New Brighton Exchange Homeowners Association and appoint the Board of Directors. The HOA will consist of a Master HOA over two sub associations; one for the single family homes and one for the townhomes. This structure will allow for independent management of each product type while creating organized structure of the common elements management of such items as entry ways, boulevard landscaping, Outlot management of irrigation, sod, and landscaping. The HOA will be responsible for enforcement of the Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, and Easements as well as the Bylaws and Architectural Control Committee. The HOA will be responsible for the common area elements, maintenance, and long term replacement of such items including: landscaping, irrigation, sod, and monumentation. The HOA will be managed by a professional management company responsible for collection of dues, billings, etc. Walks &Trails Pedestrian connectivity is a key element in the creation and success of the Enclave. An 8-feet wide bituminous trail is provided along the west side of Searles Street connecting to the proposed City Park at the northern most terminus and linking to the existing trail system along Northwest Parkway. Additionally, a 5-feet wide concrete sidewalk is provided along both sides of the internal street system creating a walkable route throughout the development and connecting the proposed City Park to Old Highway 8 and Long Lake Regional Park. Streets The Enclave has created a hierarchy of streets as you navigate from Old Highway 8 north to the City Park. Northwest Parkway will extend as a boulevard median street westerly to the new entrance at 14 Street. Additionally as you enter from Old Highway 8 into the Enclave on 14th Street, you will be greeted by a landscaped median ending at the Northwest Parkway intersection. Both boulevard roadways will have a right of way of 72-feet with 21-feet of drive lane on either side of the median. Progressing northerly into the site all right of way will be 50-feet in width with 28-feet wide roadways. Keeping the single family homes at a 25-feet setback with landscaping along both sides of the roadway will create a tight urban feel as you traverse the Enclave. The townhome roadway will be a private roadway owned and maintained by the townhome association. The roadway will be 22-feet in width allowing for two way traffic. The street names within the Enclave have been derived from the New Brighton Area Historical Society study done in conjunction with the vision for New Brighton Exchange. Searles Street, Devine Drive, and Hipp Circle leave a legacy to those who have helped found New Brighton and played an important role in the development and history of the area. Street lighting will continue throughout the Enclave and our desire is to provide the exact decorative street lighting poles and fixtures as those that exist along Old Highway 8.
