Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea Chair Kaluza opened the public hearing to consider the application of D. R. Horton, Inc. for a preliminary plat and PUD development stage plans of 268 single family lots to be known as Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea, located east of Highview Avenue and south of Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9). Reid Schulz from D. R. Horton presented an overview of the request. Mr. Schulz thanked City staff for their help on this plat. He indicated that this will be quite a large project for D. R. Horton and will be an extension of the current Avonlea development platted by Mattamy Homes. Mr. Schulz stated that there will be 268 homes in this PUD with three different product lines, two of which are new to Lakeville. There will be a variety of lot widths to accommodate these homes. He indicated that D. R. Horton concurs with the staff report. Daniel Licht from The Planning Company presented the planning report. Mr. Licht stated that Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea will include 268 single family lots on the remaining 139 acres of the Avonlea subdivision approved as a PUD District on April 6, 2015. This is four fewer lots than approved with the revised Avonlea Master Plan. Mr. Licht explained that the proposed single family lots are consistent with the minimum lot and setback requirements established by the Avonlea PUD Booklet. Lot coverage is listed as 50 percent for single family lots and 60 percent for association maintained lots. The lots abutting Highview Avenue comply with the minimum lot width and lot depth requirements for buffer yards. The preliminary plat shows a 30 foot side yard setback and 50 foot rear yard setback for the lots abutting Highview Avenue as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The initial Avonlea PUD District did not include architectural guidelines based upon the portfolio offered by Mattamy Homes. But with Mattamy Homes withdrawing from the project and different builders coming in, City staff is recommending incorporating exterior material requirements for single family dwellings consistent with the PUD development stage plan for Avonlea 4th Addition to ensure consistent architectural design and materials throughout the development. Mr. Licht indicated that the Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea plat will be accessed via public street connections to Highview Avenue and 185th Street, as well as internal street connections to existing phases of Avonlea. The proposed streets to be constructed in Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea are discussed in the May 2, 2019 planning report. Mr. Licht reviewed the proposed park dedication requirement and the public trail connections, which are discussed in more detail in the May 2, 2019 planning report. The developer submitted a phasing plan with the preliminary plat of Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea. Phase 1 will final plat 109 lots, phase 2 will final plat 78 lots and phase 3 will final plat 65 lots. The connection to Highview Avenue and the extension of Hamburg Avenue will be constructed in the first phase of development. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, May 9, 2019 Page 4 Mr. Licht stated that a landscape plan has been submitted by the developer for the preliminary plat. All the proposed tree types and sizes are consistent with the Zoning Ordinance requirements except those noted in the May 2, 2019 planning report. Mr. Licht stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea preliminary plat and PUD development stage plan, subject to the 16 stipulations listed in the May 2, 2019 planning report. Chair Kaluza opened the hearing to the public for comment. There were no comments from the audience. Motion was made by Swenson, seconded by Drotning to close the public hearing at 6:21 p.m. Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - unanimous Chair Kaluza asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points included: • The Planning Commission supported the preliminary plat plans and the three different housing types proposed by D.R. Horton with this development. • A discussion was held regarding construction traffic and potential impacts to existing homes in the Avonlea development. Mr. Morey commented that the construction traffic access for utilities, grading, and streets is controlled through the development contract for each final plat phase. • Mr. Schulz stated that because D. R. Horton provides a variety of homes, they need to be able to construct model homes throughout the development, so until the development is complete, there will be construction traffic throughout, but they will follow the rules of the City Code. Motion was made by Swenson, seconded by Drotning to recommend to City Council approval of the Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea preliminary plat and PUD development stage plans of 268 single family lots, located east of Highview Avenue and south of Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9), subject to the following 16 stipulations: 1.
