City Planner Gundlach explained the Community Development staff has been in contact with Pulte Homes since April 2012. Pulte Homes initially approached the City regarding the development of single-family homes within New Brighton Exchange. Because lower density residential (specifically single family) was not originally envisioned for the area, Pulte met with the Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, and the City Council at work sessions to determine if such a proposal could meet the overall development vision and financial goals. Ultimately, the City Council entered into a Private Contract for Redevelopment with Pulte will require approximately 27 acres of land on the west side of Old Highway 8 NW, within New Brighton Exchange, for construction of single-family homes and townhomes. Pulte is scheduled to close on the land around October 15th, but no later than the end of the year. Much of this will depend on Pulte obtaining approval from the MN Pollution Control Agency. While nearly all the land has been cleaned up, some pockets of contamination remain that Pulte will take responsibility for cleanup. In addition, Pulte has indicated that some additional fill material is still needed to raise the grade of the site. Staff reviewed the proposed single-family home details along with the PUD analysis and landscaping plan with the Council.
