Mayor Stephanie Klinzing <br />and City Council Members <br />May 17, 2002 <br /> Page 3 <br /> <br />opportunity and a different housing product for home ownership in Elk River. If the R3 <br />residential standards are required as part of our modification request approval, within the <br />existing PUD zone, the goals of affordability as referenced above will not be <br />accomplished. In that event, D.R. Horton would have to revert back to the original PUD <br />approval. Reverting back to the original PUD approach would not benefit all parties <br />involved (City, County and Horton home buyers), in connection with all the site issues <br />discussed above (location on Twin Lakes Road, Outlot K for park, saving woodlands, <br />minimizing ponding impacts and housing affordability). <br /> <br />As indicated, D.R. Horton is requesting approval for a mixed-use revision to the existing <br />residential PUD to include a total of 116 residential units. The mix will include 35 single family <br />residential lots and 81 Traditional Row type townhomes. We've discussed this alternative with <br />staff and have agreed that this modification to the PUD is a fair alternative to move toward the <br />successfifi completion of the Trott Brook Farms community. <br /> <br />We look forward to discussing this,in more detail with you on May 20. If you should have any <br />uestions, or if additional infon'nation will help you with the review process, please call me at <br />52-985-7826 (office) or 952-292-I 527 (cell). <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />I).R.
