1. It hereby adopts the following findings:
a) Greater utilization of new technologies in building design, materials, construction and land
development.
The proposed development utilizes underground parking areas to allow more efficient use
of the land. The clustering of the structures also allows preservation of the wetlands and
wooded areas on the site.
b) Higher standards of site and building design.
The clustering of the buildings allows for the preservation of the natural amenities on this
site.

c) More efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities to support high
quality land use development at a lesser cost.
This development includes one cul-de-sac providing access to all of the units. The
property owner will maintain the parking areas and internal road systems.
d) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components in the
development which may be made more useable and be more suitably located than would
otherwise be provided under conventional development procedures.
The preservation and dedication of the western portion of the site as parkland and the use
as of this site a nature area provide an amenity that can be utilized by the public. The trail
connection from Five Hawks Avenue on the south to Five Hawks Avenue on the north will
provide a link to the public park system.
e) Provides a flexible approach to development which allows modifications to the strict
application of regulations within the various Use Districts that are in harmony with the
purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The use of the PUD allows the higher density to be clustered on the portion of the site
previously graded. The density and type of housing units is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan goals to provide a variety of housing styles.
f) Encourages a more creative and efficient use of land.
As noted above, the PUD allows the higher density areas to be clustered, and preserves
open space.
g) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics including flora and fauna, scenic
views, screening and buffering, and access.
Clustering the units does allow the preservation of some of the wooded areas on the site.
The plan must address the landscaping and bufferyard requirements of the ordinance.
h) Allows the development to operate in concert with a Redevelopment Plan in certain areas
of the City and to insure the redevelopment goals and objectives within the
Redevelopment District will be achieved.
This criterion is not applicable.
i) Provides for flexibility in design and construction of the development in cases where large
tracts of land are under single ownership or control and where the use(s) has the potential
to significantly affect adjacent or nearby properties.
The use of the PUD allows the clustering of the buildings and the preservation of the
natural amenities on the site.
j) Encourages the developer to convey property to the public, over and above required
dedications, by allowing a portion of the density to be transferred to other parts of the site.
While the plan proposes the conveyance of Outlot A to the School District for use as a
nature area, the staff recommends this area be dedicated as park. No additional density
has been requested.
k) The design shall consider the whole of the project and shall create a unified environment
within the boundaries of the project by insuring architectural compatibility of all structures,
efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, aesthetically pleasing landscape and site
features, and efficient use and design of utilities.
The designs of the buildings are similar in nature. The use of Class I materials will
increase the value of this design. Revision of the landscaping plan to meet the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance will also enhance this area.
I) The design of a PUD shall optimize compatibility between the project and surrounding
land uses, both existing and proposed and shall minimize the potential adverse impacts of
r:\resoluti\planresX2000\O0-88.doc Page 2
the PUD on surrounding land uses and the potential adverse effects of the surrounding
land uses on the PUD.
The use of the PUD will preserve the area directly adjacent to the single family homes,
and will allow the creation of a trail between the existing streets.
m) If a project for which PUD treatment has been requested involves construction over a
period of time in two or more phases, the applicant shall demonstrate that each phase is
capable of addressing and meeting each of the criteria independent of the other phases.
This project is proposed to be completed in one phase.
n) Approval of a PUD may permit the placement of more than one building on a lot.
This is not applicable. Each of the buildings is on a separate lot.
o) A PUD in a Residential Use District shall conform to the requirements of that Use District
unless modified by the following or other provisions of this Ordinance. 1) The tract of land
for which a project is proposed shall have not less than 200 feet of frontage on a public
right-of-way; 2) No building shall be nearer than its building height to any property line
when the property abutting the subject property is in an "R-1' or 'R-2" Use District; 3) No
building within the project shall be nearer to another building than ~ the sum of the
building heights of the two buildings, except for parking ramps which may be directly
connected to another building; and 4) Private roadways within the project site may not be
used in calculating required off-street parking spaces.
The proposal meets the above requirements with the exception of the modification
requested by the developer to decrease building setbacks and to decrease the open
space on the lot containing the 54-unit building created as part of the PUD and
preliminary plat from 400 square feet per unit to 330 square feet per unit. These
modifications are permitted under the PUD provisions at the discretion of the Council.
