The PUD is a single-family development consisting of 68 lots for single family homes. b. The elements of the plan will be as shown on the plans dated November 18, 2024, except for modifications approved as part of the final PUD plan. 4. The Prior Lake City Council hereby adopts the following findings: a. Provides a flexible approach to development which is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed PUD is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designations on the entire site. The PUD approach allows the location of the housing units in ways that preserve and enhance natural features of the site. b. More creative, efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses. The proposed PUD plan clusters the residential areas so as to minimize wetland impacts. c. Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people; The plan incorporates multiple sidewalk connections to the existing City and Scott County trail and sidewalk network. d. Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking or bussing; The plan proposes a collector road through the area, pedestrian trails and sidewalks, as well as access through the property. e. Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages. This PUD does not provide a specific life cycle housing opportunity. f. Provide more efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities that support high quality land use development at a lesser cost. The dedication of right of way for future roadway expansion along Crest Avenue and 138th Street corridors will lessen some of the cost of these roadway improvements. g. 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 PUD district also 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. The PUD preserves a greater amount of open space and wetland areas. h. Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics and open space, and protection of sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to, steep slopes, wetlands, and trees. Where applicable, the PUD should also encourage historic preservation, re-use and redevelopment of existing buildings. The plan includes the outlots around the wetland areas to protect these sensitive natural features. Page 3 of 4 i. High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. The proposed design is compatible with the surrounding low density residential land uses. 5.
