Discussion
Steve Ach of Centex Homes has requested this discussion to gain insight for a possible PUD
amendment in the Meadows of Bloomfield development The amendment would replace 33
townhouse units with 26 narrow single family lots
The Meadows of Bloomfield PUD includes two areas of three -unit "Vineyards" townhouses for
a total of 60 units Existing examples can be seen on Autumnwood Way in the Bloomfield
area south of the railroad tracks, with 54 such units In the "Meadows" area, the 33
townhouse units approved for the corner area north of Connemara Trail and Autumn Path
create a transition of housing type and density from the single -family near the DNR pond to
the higher density townhouses near the railroad tracks The amendment would convert this
area to 26 single -family lots, effectively shifting the transition between housing types to
Autumn Path The new single family lots would be narrow, at approximately 56 feet wide
Comparisons
"Freedom" series 26 units as proposed
A detached single family house that utilizes a 56 foot wide lot The product represents a
new housing niche for Rosemount it is a starter house that is at least ten percent less
expensive than a typical Centex single family house on a conventional 80 foot wide lot The
house "foot- print" would be 35 foot wide by 42 56 foot deep The lot sizes would allow for
10 foot side yard setbacks the same as conventional single family No homeowners
association will be required for building or site maintenance as would be the case for the
Vineyards townhouses
The Freedom series features a two -story house with a look -out or walk -out basement Seven
different styles are available, each with up to three variations of fagade and detail Two -car
garages are included with no ability to expand to three Typical single family setbacks would
apply The typical unit cost is in the upper 200's
"Vineyards" series (Approved with PUD) 33 units
Three -unit townhouses arranged in rows (side by side) This townhouse niche is a step
above the double- loaded entry-level townhouses often seen in six, eight, ten and twelve unit
buildings A typical buyer is older, and may be "downsizing Individual units are usually 34
feet wide and up to 70 feet deep A homeowners association is required Unit cost
averages $250,000
Conventional Single Family (elsewhere in PUD) 153 units
The PUD granted minor lot width and front yard setback reductions, primarily for the single
family lots that back up to the DNR pond The lots range from 70 to 80 feet wide Houses
have front yard setbacks of 25 -30 feet, and side yard setbacks of 10 feet No homeowners
association is needed Base cost is $295- 315,000 Various options are available that raise
the cost
Conclusions
The amendment would be requested on the basis that the "Freedom" series offers a more
affordable single -family detached housing option than is currently available in Rosemount
According to the developer, It has become a popular choice in other Centex developments
Staff assumes that the absorption of "Freedoms" may be faster than the "Vineyards and
have been told that the profit margin is higher The change offers positives and negatives
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 depth of the Freedom units is less than the Vineyards,
thus creating some useable back -yard space between the units and the pipeline easement on
Block 1 The "Freedom" also offers a slightly more affordable choice for a detached single
family house
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 Rosemount In the Meadows area, over 70% the townhouses of the
current PUD are already weighted towards the higher density row and double loaded styles
Lastly, the switch to single family will eliminate a homeowner's association that would
collectively maintain the grounds, driveways and typically would have restrictive covenants
for sheds outdoor storage
Staff is not trying to quantify an increase or decrease in value with the comparison If the
"Freedom" unit had been introduced as part of the original PUD, it would have been
supported as diversifying housing choices, in the single family category Furthermore, it
appears that the location is an appropriate one given the location between conventional
single family detached and higher density townhouses The shifting of the transition between
housing types to Autumn Path seems to consolidate the single family blocks on the north side

Centex is requesting Council reaction to the anticipated PUD amendment If Council does
not react negatively, then the amendment process will require a public hearing with the
Planning Commission, and then ultimately, Council approval A final plat that includes the
"Vineyards" area has already been reviewed by the Planning Commission The City Council
will be given that final plat for action, possibly as soon as January 18 if the PUD amendment
application is not made
