Consideration of a Final Planned Unit Development and Final Plat for Pulte Homes, to be known as Enclave at New Brighton Exchange 2"0 and 3'd Addition, located on the west side of Old Highway 8 NW within the New Brighton Exchange Redevelopment Area.

Planning Director Gundlach explained that Pulte Homes is requesting Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Final Plat approval for the following remaining efforts at The Enclave at New Brighton Exchange: Enclave at New Brighton Exchange 2nd Addition: Pulte is seeking final PUD and final plat approval for construction of 36 townhome units. The plat consists of 36 lots on two blocks, formerly platted as Outlots C and D. 30 units will front on Old Highway 8 NW and six units will front on Central Park Boulevard. Garages are located in the rear of the unit, accessible off a private driveway. Preliminary PUD and plat approval were granted in September of 2013. The overall concept is generally consistent with the preliminary PUD approval, except four additional units have been incorporated, the actual townhome product is different, and one building is now proposed to front on Central Park Boulevard. Enclave at New Brighton Exchange 3rd Addition: Pulte is seeking final PUD and final plat approval for the remaining 28 single family homes. The plat consists of 28 lots on two blocks, and dedication of public right-of-way to be known as 14th Street NW, Searles Street, and Hipp Circle, all formerly platted as Outlot G. The plan (lot layout, lot area, setbacks, and home type) is consistent with what was approved during the preliminary PUD approval. Planning Director Gundlach stated in summary, the proposal meets all the preliminary PUD and preliminary Plat conditions outlined in Resolution 13-076 and therefore eligible for approval.

Staff is recommending approval of the plans as submitted. It was noted that prior to city release of the Final Plat, the applicant will have to comply with the ten stated conditions in the attached Resolution.
