He discussed the PUD unit mix, lot and street layout, parking, and park dedication requirements. Mayor I~dinzing opened the pubic hearing for all three of these requests. Tom Bakritges, Project Manager for D.R. Horton - Discussed the development concept. He stated that they modified part of their plan to meet some of the Metropolitan Council's goals. He stated that if R3 standards are imposed then they would have to modify their design, which would not be a benefit to the city, and the Met Council's goals would not be met. He felt that if his development is in a PUD zone is should not have to comply with the R3 building materials standards. Mayor I~linzing closed the public hearing. Councilmember Kuester asked the developer what would change if he had to comply with the R3 standards. Mr. Bakritges stated that he would have to add $10,000 to $15,000 per unit. Ms. McPherson stated that the setback for the R3 standard is 30 feet and the proposed development is at 25 feet. Councilmember Dietz questioned what the city would be gaining with this rezoning to PUD. Mr. Bakritges stated that a better laid out plan would be gained. The original layout had more streets and not as good access points. The current layout is smoother flowing and has more open space. Planning Commissioner Baker stated that the city would be gaining affordable housing. Councilmember Tveite stated that he didn't like the rear facades of the townhomes on Tyler Street to be all vinyl siding facing single family residential homes. Councilmember Dietz concurred.
