<br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />Not Approved <br />Motion by Commissioner Danger, seconded by Commissioner Erickson to continue the Public Hearing to the <br />February 17, 2015 Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Approved 7-0. <br /> <br />(B) Paul Heuer on behalf of Pulte Group requests Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development approval <br />for Outlots C, D, E and G, ENCLAVE AT NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE, platting 36 lots for <br />development of 36 townhomes and 28 lots for development of 28 single family homes, to be known as <br />ENCLAVE AT NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE PLAT 2 AND PLAT 3, respectively. <br /> <br />Assistant Director of Community Assets & Development/Planning Director Janice Gundlach reported Pulte Homes is <br />requesting Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Final Plat approval for the following remaining efforts at The <br />Enclave at New Brighton Exchange: <br /> <br /> Enclave at New Brighton Exchange 2nd Addition: Pulte is seeking final PUD and final plat approval for <br />construction of 36 townhome units. The plat consists of 36 lots on two blocks, formerly platted as Outlots C and <br />D. 30 units will front on Old Highway 8 NW and six units will front on Central Park Boulevard. Garages are <br />located in the rear of the unit, accessible off a private driveway. Preliminary PUD and plat approval were granted <br />in September of 2013. The overall concept is generally consistent with the preliminary PUD approval, except four <br />additional units have been incorporated, the actual townhome product is different, and one building is now <br />proposed to front on Central Park Boulevard. <br /> <br /> Enclave at New Brighton Exchange 3rd Addition: Pulte is seeking final PUD and final plat approval for the <br />remaining 28 single-family homes. The plat consists of 28 lots on two blocks, and dedication of public right-of- <br />way to be known as 14th Street NW, Searles Street, and Hipp Circle, all formerly platted as Outlot G. The plan <br />(lot layout, lot area, setbacks, and home type) is consistent with what was approved during the preliminary PUD <br />approval. <br /> <br />Pulte Homes secured Preliminary PUD and Preliminary Plat approval on September 24, 2013 via Resolution 13-076 <br />(attached). Included in this approval was Final PUD and Final Plat approval for the first phase of development, which <br />consisted on 61 single-family homes. Those homes are under construction and sales have begun. The current request <br />consists of the remaining homes in the development. The applicant has outlined construction timetables within the <br />narrative for each phase. Interest remains high for these homes, so the timing of Pulte’s request for the remaining <br />lots/homes within the development positions them to be able to sell homes and hopefully meet an expected high demand. <br />Per the original PUD approval, Pulte has until December 31, 2019 to complete the development. <br /> <br />It should also be noted that because of the length of time it took the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to approve the <br />development, the construction commencement date (the date by which construction must begin) has been extended by <br />City Council action several times. Additionally, the construction compliance date (the date where all construction must be <br />complete) has been extended one year to December 31, 2019. The construction commencement and compliance dates are <br />specified at the time of land use approval. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat and Final PUD for The Enclave at New Brighton Exchange 2nd & 3rd <br />Additions, subject to the following conditions: <br /> <br />1. Compliance with the conditions of Resolution 13-076, unless otherwise revised herein. <br />2. The applicant executes a Declaration of Covenants & Restrictions and a Subdivision Agreement for the 2nd and <br />3rd Additions, prior to City release of the Final Plat. <br />3. Incorporation of the Interoffice Engineering/Public Works memos dated 1/14/2015. <br />4. The 30% brick/stone standard for the townhomes, as required via the Preliminary PUD, shall be eliminated. <br />Instead, the townhomes shall be built consistent with the design submitted as part of this application and include <br />the architectural features described in the applicant’s written narrative, made an exhibit to this report.
