(6) A PUD shall be served by adequate transportation, water, <br /> sanitary sewer and drainage systems. <br /> (7) A PUD shall not adversely affect existing or proposed <br /> parks, schools, streets or other public facilities. <br /> (8) The council may establish varied and reasonable lot area, <br /> frontage, side yard, and setback requirements for a PUD and <br /> may authorize a density which it determines to be appropriate <br /> under the circumstances. Any permitted density shall be <br /> consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and not adversely <br /> affect the public health, safety and welfare. <br /> (9) More than one principal building may be constructed on a <br /> lot within a PUD if authorized by the council.

The <br /> street and utilities are proposed to provide future services to the <br /> surrounding properties. The varied housing elements are sensitive to the <br /> neighboring properties by placing the larger single-family lots located <br /> along the perimeter of the site, specifically along the Sunset Ridge <br /> Development. The townhomes are placed internally within the site or <br /> along a perimeter that is separated from the adjacent property by natural <br /> barriers or roads. The locations and design features of the different <br /> housing components are well balanced within the site and transition nicely <br /> throughout the development. Each building will contain architectural <br /> enhancements to make them pleasing for all neighboring views. The River <br /> Park promotes a life-cycle community that integrates varied housing <br /> options and designs. <br /> River Park was tailored to be sensitive to the existing natural amenities. <br /> The site contains five wetlands, a large stand of trees and vast open <br /> space. These features have been preserved and incorporated into the <br /> development to provide an oasis of environmental enhancements <br /> throughout the neighborhoods. In addition to these natural features, the <br /> vast open space of the site allows for the creation of a large central park <br /> that will be used for passive recreational uses and a central gathering <br /> area. All of these amenities are linked by a community trail system that will <br /> detail the environmental importance and preservation of these natural <br /> features. <br /> Under the guidance of the city's PUD standards, River Park creates a high <br /> quality development that implements the goals of the city. As a PUD, the <br /> development team was able to utilize an environmentally sensitive site <br /> 4 <br /> F:\ENG\63300\264\REPORTS\River Park Narrative.426.doc <br />
