RE: D.R. Horton — Preliminary Plat and Planned Development Overlay Amendments for
Eastridge Woods
Proposal
D.R. Horton is requesting City approval to add one residential lot to their Eastridge Woods prelimi-
nary plat and Planned Development Overlay Plan. A copy of D.R. Horton's request dated December
7, 2013 is attached.
This one additional lot will be created by combining a remnant parcel known as Outlot F in the
Cayden Glen subdivision with an adjoining remnant parcel known as Outlot J in Eastridge Woods.
Newland Communities is the developer for the Cayden Glen subdivision and they have agreed to
convey their Outlot F in Cayden Glen to D.R. Horton when Horton files their final plat that creates
this one additional lot. A copy of their agreement is attached.
The Eastridge Woods subdivision is located north of 70th Street (CSAH 22) and approximately one-
quarter mile west of Keats Avenue. A location map of this project is shown below.

Background
In preparing the preliminary plat, the neighboring property owner (Newland Communities) west of
D.R. Horton's site also submitted their development plans for their 39.6-acre site. Their develop-
ment plan proposed the platting of 92 lots for the construction of detached single-family houses.
The stormwater basin between both projects was decided to be an appropriate location that be-
nefited both projects. Now that the grading plan for the basin has been finalized, it has been de-
termined that combining remnant parcels in both projects can create one additional residential lot.
The illustration below shows the location of the residential lot that is proposed to be added.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Eastridge Woods development plan on Feb-
ruary 25, 2013, and unanimously recommended approval of D.R. Horton's preliminary plat and
Planned Development Overlay Plan for this project. The City Council subsequently approved both
applications on April 3, 2013.
The resolution approving the preliminary plat (Resolution No. 2013-041) described the Eastridge
Woods subdivision as having 134 lots for detached single-family houses and 13 outlot parcels. The
ordinance approving the rezoning and Planned Development Overlay Plan (Ordinance No. 913) also
described the development plan as having 134 lots within the 61.8-acre site. A copy of Resolution
No. 2013-041 and Ordinance No. 913 are attached.

Adding one lot does not significantly change the overall layout for either project and can easily be
accommodated by combining remnant parcels from both projects. The overall density will continue
to be consistent with the low density residential designation in the Future Vision 2030 Comprehen-
sive Plan and the R-3, Single-family Residential zoning district, for this property. Tree preservation is
not an issue and the park fee for this one additional lot will be determined once the costs to develop
the Cedarhurst Meadows Park are finalized. The park fee will be addressed in the development
agreement with D.R. Horton at the time a final plat for a future phase has been submitted to the City.
Attached is a copy of the final plat for Cayden Glen and Eastridge Woods. Outlot F shown on the
Cayden Glen subdivision is proposed to be combined with Outlot J in Eastridge Woods. Combining
these two outlots will create one additional residential lot in the future phase of Eastridge Woods.
Recommendation
That the City Council considers approving the following:
Adopting a resolution amending Resolution No 2013-041, which approved the Eastridge Woods
preliminary plat, to increase the total number of residential lots from 134 lots to 135 lots, subject
to the eighty-nine conditions listed Resolution No 2013-041.
2. Adopting an ordinance amending Ordinance No 913, which approved the rezoning and Planned
Development Overlay Plan for three parcels of land having a cumulative land area of 61.8-acres.
This amendment applies to Section 2, paragraph "E" of Ordinance No. 913 to increase the total
number of lots from 134 to 135 lots.

RE: Eastridge Woods
Dear John:
As you lcnow, we have been working with Newland Communities (aka NNP-JAMAICA, LLC) on an
agreement to allow for the installation of sanitary sewer, storm sewer and street improvements to serve
both Eastridge Woods and Cayden Glen.
Due to the specific dimensions of each neighborhood, each party was left with a remnant parcel that is not
large enough to facilitate an additional lot (Outlot F, Cayden Glen and Outlot J, Eastridge Woods).
However, when combined together the two parcels are large enough to facilitate an additional lot.
Newland Communities has agreed to deed Outlot F, Cayden Glen to D.R. Horton so that it may be
combined with Outlot J, Eastridge Woods into one buildable lot.
Therefore, we respectfully request that the City approve a modification to the Eastridge Wood
preliminaiy plat (approved Aprii 3, 2013 as Resolution No. 2013-041) to increase the number of lots
within the plat from 134 to 135 so that we may utilize the two remnant parcels and eventually final plat
them into one single family lot.
As we discussed, D.R. I�orton will provide detailed grading, utility and street plans for this
additional lot in conjunction with the final plat of the lots located in Eastridge Woods west of the
watershed district property. Please let me know should you need any information or applications
to process this request. Thank you.
Sincerely,
��jNt�c,�i�•�-�
