~Y 2 0 2OO2 D. R. HORTON INC.,- MINNESOTA 20860 Kenbridge Ct. Suite 100 Lakeville, MN 55044 May 17, 2002 Mayor Stephanie Klinzing and City Council Members City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 Re: MARSHES OF TROTT BROOK FARMS - REVISED SITE PLAN Dear Mayor Klinzing and City Council Members: REQUEST D.R. Horton has requested a Rezoning from Rlc to PUD, Conditional Use Permit for Site Plan Approval and Preliminary Plat Approval in connection with the development of the Marshes of Trott Brook Farms. This would be phase 9 of the original overall Trott Brook Farms PUD. The original PUD included single-falnily homes and a cluster of town homes similar to those being already developed in the Trott Brook Farms neighborhoods. The Marshes will offer the Traditions Townhome, which is a new row townhome product. The amendment to the Trott Brook Farms PUD would include the change in unit type, increase overall units from 615 to 631 (including 10 on the highway renmant parcel), and revise a portion of the remaining single family neighborhood. The existing Approved PUD is for the development of 615 residential units (349 S/F, 118 Coach and 148 Villa). The request is to develop 631 residential units with a slightly different mix (337 S/F, 105 Coach, 108 Villa and 81 Traditional Row). While a total of 16 additional residential units are being requested, only 6 are located within the original PUD area. The remaining 10 residential units are located on the highway remnant parcel. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Marshes neighborhood and adjacent single hmily area is being redesigned in response to site conditions, the projected market need for townhomes in the Elk River community, the desire for the City to obtain Outlot K for additional park lands and the Planning Commission recommendation on April 23, 2002.
