Michael Gaffron Page 4 of 6 9- Re: PUD Concept Plan Stage Submittat Requifements Apnl 17. 2002 A statement of the estimated total number of dwelling units proposed for the PUD and a tabulation of the proposed approximate allocations of land use expressed in acres and as a percentage of the total project area, which shall include at least the following: i Area developed to residential uses. Orono Village would include 235 market rate homes in a variety of housing styles. Approximately 42 acres of this 51-acre parcel will be devoted to townhomes, rowhouses and the Lofts. The remainder of the site is dedicated to streets and limited, neighborhood commercial. //. Area developed to residential by building type. Approximately 30 acres of property north of Kelley Parkway are planned for 41 townhomes. 8 acres of property in the center of the site are planned for 82 rowhouses. and 4 acres of property in the southwest comer of the site are planned for 112 units in the Lofts.m Hi. Area devoted to common open space. We have provided a Town Square in the commercial area and a Village Green near the Lofts. Both of these common areas are intended to encourage use by the residents of the neighborhood and visitors. The Town Square will be a community gathering space where Orono residents can linger over a cup of coffee or ice cream and visit with friends and neighbors. The Orono Village association would maintain both of these areas, which ( total approximately 0.6 acres. Our concept plan and sketch plat includes common lots over the wetland areas and surrounding the townhomes. as well as outlets for the private drives and private streets. The total area for the common open space areas, common lots and outlets is 28.5 acres. (•4* J iv. Area devoted to public open space. No public open space is proposed. The current plan shows a large portion of the site as common open space with private trails and sidewalks throughout the development. While these trails will be maintained by the Orono Village, they will be open to use by the public. Given the proximity of a number of public spaces at the City Hall complex and school facilities, a large public open space within this development would be redundant. However, we have provided public trails along Kelley Parkway, Willow Drive and HiqKvny i2. Additionally, we have retained large wetland areas within too development and have provided private trails around those features. The private trails and sidewalks within Orono Village will be maintained by the HOA. 650 BUTLER NORTH BUtLOING 510 FIRST AVENUE NORTH MiNNEAPOL.S.
