PAXMARC B. Location and Brief Parcel History and overview In December of 2015, we closed on the parcels from the Miske Family, agreed to have the project named as a legacy to them and have worked with the original consulting firm to reorganize some parts of the plan and reaffirm the land plan of single family detached home sites that was not changing. Due to the lack of formal extension requests to allow the previous preliminary plats to stay in force, the neighborhood requires a "renewal" of the preliminary plat documents to move forward to final construction of the next portion. However, most of the design submitted is substantially similar in buyer profile and home types. Since some of the road layout is changing along with housing product types, a PUD amendment is required. Lennar Homes of Minnesota and their underlying project LLC entities, still retain ownership of 3 Outlots bearing the River Park Plat Name with 121 previously approved dwelling units. Of that amount, 45 are on Ivanhoe and have had water and sewer services installed for lot widths of 75' and wider. 23 Dwelling units are planned in the far northwest corner of the master plan, also on lots 75' and wider, with ponding partially completed, but no underground utilities. When the sewer was run north for phase one and the elementary school, attached townhomes were also platted. 48 units of housing density and built sewer and water services on those parcels between Ivanhoe Drive NW and Hoover Street NW were let go to lenders and are now owned by others. Those parcels still carry PUD approvals but expired preliminary plats. The Lennar parcels may be referenced in by other reports in portions of various project discussion regarding grading, circulation and permitting but are not part of this specific application. C. Zoning & Land Use Plans are consistent with zoning and land use for a residential neighborhood. No change to land use is proposed, but minor reorganization of lot lines and product mix creates PUD amendment requirements to accommodate the new housing form. D. Project Description - Master Plan attributes and options for enhancement The River Park Neighborhood was approved with a variety of housing types. Two of the attached types approved are no longer being constructed and their target markets remain under served at this location by conventional housing product types. The first time home buyer served in the 4 and 8 unit attached buildings closest to the school and the 4 -unit empty nester quad homes along County 40 are without a builder option as originally approved in the master plan. New building codes require sprinklers in structures of 3 or more dwelling units, curbing enthusiasm for the larger attached home designs. 5160 Viking Blvd. NW Anoka, MN (763)753-6176
