Adopt, by motion, Ordinance 24-19 amending Sec. 30-1600 to include the additional land included in the Bradford Park PUD. Background/Discussion The applicant, US Home LLC, (Lennar) has submitted a proposal to expand the Bradford Park Development across the pond to Cleveland Street (CR 40). Previous approvals included 314 single-family homes and focused on the area west of the pond. The new proposal would develop the remainder of the land near the pond and CR 40 and includes 119 single-family lots, bringing the total lot count of Bradford Park to 433 single- family homes. The current proposal differs from the previous project in that it no longer includes townhomes or private streets. All lots within the subdivision are now detached single-family units with lots between 55 and 65 feet wide. Parks and Recreation The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the Bradford Park South plat on Wednesday, August 14. The Commission recognized, per city ordinance, that Phase 1 required 26.56 acres of land dedication. Phase 1 dedicates 27.37 acres, a difference of 0.8056. Phase 2 (Bradford South) requires 10.067 acres of land or a cash dedication of $364,821.87. The additional Phase 1 excess dedication of 0.8056 acres is applied to the Phase 2 (South) park dedication requirements. The Commission recommended the developer construct a trail behind the homes along the west side of the cul-de-sac for Road H. The trail would extend from 185th Ave north and connect with the trail shown on the west side of Cleveland. This trail connection would provide credit towards the land dedication requirements for the subdivision, estimated at 2.5 acres or roughly $90,598 for a total of 3.3056 acres with an equivalent cash value of $119,792. The final land dedication and per-unit fee will be calculated based on the plans submitted with the final plat of this area. The park and trail locations are shown on the attached exhibit. Planning Commission The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this application on July 23, 2024. No one spoke for or against the application. After the meeting, the resident at 18434 Cleveland St NW contacted staff with questions. Staff met with the resident and reviewed the submitted plans. He did not have any concerns with the current application and appreciated the transition away from the townhomes that previous plans had shown along his property line. The Planning Commission discussed the smaller lots (55 feet wide) and their distribution within the plat. They supported the smaller lots and noted that our surrounding communities have continued to move towards narrower single-family lots. The Commission supports the removal of the townhomes, noting the benefit to the neighboring property owner, and believes the narrower lots address the affordability guidance from the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat and the ordinance amendment with the conditions noted in the memo.
