Discussion:
Summergate Development, applicant, and Gene Hauer, property owner, have proposed a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Preliminary Plat of SUMMERLAND PLACE for property located north of 17th Avenue (CSAH 16), east of Balinese Street, south of Hwy. 169, and west of Canterbury Road. The property is approx. 117 acres in area, and is presently zoned Medium-Density Residential (R-2) Zone (western area, 5-8 units/acre) and Rural Residential (RR) Zone (eastern area, 1 unit/10 acres). The property is guided Suburban Residential (western area, 3-6 units/acre density for single-family and attached single-family residential uses) and Mixed Residential (eastern area, 6-30 units/acre density for single family, townhouse and multi-family residential uses).
In May, 2020, the Planning Commission reviewed this application and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council. Since that time, Summergate Development has revised their plan based on comments received from the neighbors, city staff and Scott County staff. They have prepared a conceptual plan for their proposed mixed-use development, which would consist of 69 villa homes, 127 single family homes, 112 townhome units, and 300 apartment units. At this time, the developer is still developing detailed plat plans (including utilities & grading), landscape plans and building plans/elevations; therefore, this public hearing has been recommended for a continuance to the November 5, 2020 meeting.
