ISSUE
Chad Onsgard of Centex Homes has requested an amendment to the Meadows of
Bloomfield PUD to introduce a new housing style to the development called the "Freedom"
series The new housing type is a two -story single family detached house that will fit on a 56
ft wide lot The 26 new units will replace 33 townhouse units originally approved for a site
consisting of approximately 8 acres on the north side of the intersection of Connemara Trail
and Autumn Path
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
On February 22, 2005, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing as required for
mayor PUD amendments No one attended other than Mr Onsgard of Centex Homes Mr
Onsgard requested several minor considerations of the staff recommendation Specifically,
the setbacks recommended by staff were scaled directly from the Housing Fit plan Mr
Onsgard requested some flexibility, not being able to commit to assigning specific housing
models to lots
The Planning Commission accepted the requested reductions, acknowledging that the lots
are substantially deeper than that required for conventional single family housing The
recommended conditions of approval allowed for an exception for the rear yard setback on lot
9, Block 1 of 25 feet, with the remainder being 30 feet and a minimum 75 feet rear yard
setback from Autumn Path instead of 80 feet Staff is now recommending that the rear yard
setback between the units and the pipeline easement on Block 1 be established at 25 feet for
consistency The shallowest lot in this area is Lot 9, with the depths ranging from 205 to 210
feet deep
Due to an issue raised by the Planning Commission, staff has evaluated the proposal and
notes that seven of the lots appear to be large enough to accommodate third garage stalls.
Therefore, staff is recommending that the homes on the site be placed to accommodate a 3 rd
stall, in the future, and still continue to meet the ordinance required 10' side yard setback

SUMMARY
The approved Meadows of Bloomfield PUD includes three styles of townhouse units and
single -family lots The amendment would replace 33 of the 60 "Vineyards" townhouse units
with 26 reduced -width single family lots No changes are proposed for the streets Other
examples of narrow or small lot developments in Rosemount include "The Enclave" by
Pulte, on either side of Bloomfield Path, between Biscayne Ave and 145"' Street, and the
"Crosscroft" neighborhood in Evermoor, south of Shannon Park Elementary School
ZONING
The area affected by the amendment is zoned R -2, Moderate Density Residential. The
zoning was appropriate for the 11 Vineyards 3 -unit townhouses (33 total units) R -2,
Moderate Density Residential also permits single family detached dwelling cluster
developments as a PUD Therefore, the PUD amendment process is appropriate for the
review and permitting of the 26 Freedom units
LOT DETACHED HOUSING DESIGN
The new lots will be a minimum of 56 feet wide, which is 14 feet less than the 70 ft, lot
minimum for single family detached homes approved with the PUD Considerations
2
regarding the proposed amendment are*
1. The houses proposed for the 56 ft wide lots are 35 feet wide, allowing enough space
for the conventional single family 10 foot side -yard setbacks on both sides of the
houses
2 The location of the amendment is on the edge of the approved single family lot area
lining Connemara Trail, and across from the higher density townhouses, forming a
logical transition between housing types
3 The deepest of the units is 54 feet, which is about 16 feet less than the townhouses
allowing more space for useable back yards and buffering the outer edges of this
particular housing area
4 The compact footprint of the houses is partly a function of the emphasis on the
vertical All units have two stories with a look -out or walk -out basement
5 All of the lots are comparatively deep, even when excluding the pipeline easement
6. Expansion of garages for 3 cars will not be possible in most cases, which is contrary to
recently adopted single family detached standards
7 The Freedom series allows for a comparatively more affordable entry-level single
family niche, typically starting in the upper 200's By comparison, the base cost of the
conventional single family home offered by Centex is $295 315,000
8 Seven different styles have been presented, each with up to three variations of fagade
and detail to counter the potential for monotony.
9. No homeowners association will be provided for exterior maintenance, landscaping or
snow removal
The setback standards for the new units will be
Front -yard setbacks will be 25 feet Combined with the boulevard in the street Right
of -way, the units will be 40 feet back from the curb
Side -yard setbacks will be the standard 10 feet
Staff had proposed conditions for standard 30 ft rear and street -side (corner) setbacks
across from dissimilar housing However, the extra flexibility allowed by the 25 ft.
setback already approved with the PUD should enable the applicable lots to
accommodate future third garage stalls
There are several "pros and cons" to the amendment
Pro: The "Freedom" detached single -family house would eliminate a transition from single
family detached to townhouses on the same block As a result, all of the housing north of
Autumn Path would be detached The shorter depth of the Freedom units will allow for more
useable open space, especially were it is needed most, between the units and the pipeline
easement for useable back yard space It also offers a slightly more affordable choice for a
single family detached house
From a land -use perspective, the amendment can be supported because it involves an
appropriate location that forms a transition between detached and attached housing
neighborhoods The shifting of the transition between housing types to Autumn Path seems
to consolidate the single family blocks on the north side of Autumn Path and Connemara
Trail.
3
The Planning Commission and City Council have the ability to condition approval on
additional amenities, or aesthetic considerations with this PUD amendment For example,
the amended PUD will be losing some landscaped common space in a highly visible location
maintained by a homeowners association The landscaping is important for screening along
Connemara Trail, but individually owned lots would not normally have restrictions for fencing,
sheds or other outdoor items Staff is suggesting some restrictions limiting the potential for
sheds and fences on comparatively narrow lots that would back up to Connemara Trail This
is reasonable because the proposed lots are approximately 20% narrower than that of the
balance of the single family detached lots already approved The proposed restriction
concerns fencing, sheds, and outdoor storage between the pipeline easement and
Connemara Trail, so as to not detract from the screening landscaping The Commission
might also consider a similar restriction along Autumn Path.
Con The change removes some "move -up" townhouses from the inventory of attached
housing The perception is that the market seems to support entry-level townhouses and
entry-level single family homes Therefore, the "move -up" market niche may seem to be
softer, at least in this part of Rosemount In the Meadows of Bloomfield development, over
70% of the approved townhouses are the higher density row and double loaded styles
A master homeowner's association will be created for the entire development that would
collectively maintain the common landscaping The amendment would eliminate common
open space associated with townhouse units, but there is an easement recorded for the
landscaped areas in key locations, such as along Connemara Trail Staff feels it is important
to specify a restriction that will prohibit fences, sheds and outdoor storage in places not
covered by the easement, particularly between the pipeline easement and Connemara Trail.
STREETS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The street design is not changing The grading plans have been revised to reflect the 26
separate building pads with drainage around them from the original 11 building pads for the
townhouses The extent of the required revisions is relatively minor, in terms of their effect
on the overall design of the development
CONCLUSION
In the opinion of Staff, the PUD Amendment will not be detrimental to the PUD and would
have been supported had it been a part of the original plan From a land -use perspective, the
proposed units are located in a logical location at the edge of a transition between
neighborhoods The new "Freedom" units offer another option for comparatively affordable
single- family housing in Rosemount The developer seems to be responding to market
demands The single family detached pattern has been the predominant housing niche in
Rosemount, and the PUD amendment tends to reinforce that distinction in contrast to a
higher proportion of attached housing
Staff supports the amendment based upon diversifying housing choices in the single- family
category, and that it re- enforces the transition of housing types between blocks

Excerpt from the Regular Planning Commission Meeting of February 22, 2005
Public Hearing:
51). Case 05- 04 -AMD Meadows of Bloomfield (Centex Homes) PUD Major
Amendment..
City Planner Pearson reviewed the Staff Report Centex Homes has requested an
amendment to the Meadows of Bloomfield PUD to introduce a new housing style to the
development called the "Freedom" series The new housing type is a two -story single
family detached house that will fit on a 56 ft wide lot The 26 new units will replace 33
townhouse units originally approved for a site consisting of approximately 8 acres on the
north side of the intersection of Connemara Trail and Autumn Path
Chairperson Messner asked the Commissioners for any questions for Mr. Pearson
Chairperson Messner asked for clarification if the setback minimum for Autumn Path is
75 feet or 80 feet except for Lots 1 through 6 or only Lot 3 Mr Pearson stated that Lot 3
is the lot that has the potential least amount of flexibility Mr Messner then asked if they
are just changing it from 80 feet to 75 feet and Mr. Pearson said that was correct
Mr Messner asked if the applicant would like to come forward.
Chad Onsgard, Centex Homes, 14136 Atwood Court, clarified a couple of items. Mr.
Onsgard stated that for Condition 6 normally they record a landscape easement and he
also proposed a 20 foot landscape easement A landscape easement would follow the
slope to the easement line and continue on to a 20 foot landscape easement which would
take care of Condition 6.
Mr Messner asked Mr Onsgard if he was suggesting that the landscape easement would
go up to and include the pipeline Mr Onsgard stated it does come to the easement line
and in the landscape easement they would not allow any sheds, fences or similar,
Mr. Messner asked Mr Pearson if that was a restrictive covenant or a requirement that
they dedicate a landscape easement Mr Pearson stated it can accomplish the same goal
although the landscape easement should include the restriction for sheds and fences
because it's not clear and staff doesn't have a copy of that language Mr Pearson did not
see a problem adjusting the language to acknowledge the landscape easement as long as it
includes the restriction of sheds and outdoor storage and can be reviewed by the City
Attorney
Community Development Director Lindquist stated that Condition 6 precludes it being in
the landscape easement and the City just wants to make sure those covenants are
addressed If Centex puts it in a different document, that would be fine The City is not
privy to their landscape documents Whatever legal vehicle they do is fine as long as it
meets Condition 6
Mr Onsgard also wanted to clarify that on Page 3, Item 9, regarding the home owner's
association and stated the Freedom homes in the area would belong to the same
association as the single family homes The association would maintain all the landscape
easements
Mr Messner questioned the 56 foot wide lots and the placing of the homes with the
possibility of anyone obtaining a third stall garage Mr Onsgard stated the homes are
basically centered and brought to the front setback Centex does not have an option for a
third stall garage Mr Pearson stated that only two to three lots that would potentially
have enough room for a third garage stall Mr Messner was concerned about the
potential variances Mr Pearson stated that we cannot stop people from applying for
variances but it could be said that the Planning Commission discussed this and would not
be in support of any additional variances
Chairperson Messner opened the Public Hearing
MOTION by Zurn to close the Public Hearing Second by Humphrey Ayes
Schultz, Zum, Messner, Humphrey, and Powell Nayes None Motion carried
Chairperson Messner asked for any follow -up questions or discussion
Commissioner Powell offered to make a motion Mr. Powell noted the changes on the
report On Condition 5 the setback minimum of 30 feet from the pipeline easement
except on Lot 9 which is 25 feet Mr Powell said the second bullet setback a minimum
of 75 feet of Autumn Path He proposed to leave Condition 6 the same
MOTION by Powell to recommend the City Council approve the major
amendment to the Meadows of Bloomfield PUD subject to the conditions noted
including the six in the Staff Report
Mr Messner offered an amendment to the Motion allowing the applicant the opportunity
to address the same conditions within their landscaping easement rather than have a
separate restrictive covenant recorded against the Lot.
Mr Powell suggested adding to the end of Condition 6 "or approved equal Mr.
Messner thought that would be satisfactory.
