Otsego — Hunter Hills; Lennar PUD -CUP amendment
A preliminary plat and PUD -CUP was approved for Hunter Hills by the City Council on 13 July
2020. The preliminary plat and PUD -CUP included approvals of 55 and 65 foot wide lots and
house designs for single family villa dwellings. The PUD -CUP approvals also specified a
minimum attached garage area for these single family dwellings of 420 square feet based upon
the plans submitted by Lennar Corporation as the builder within the subdivision.
Lennar is proposing to add additional house models to those being offered for construction
upon the single family villa lots. Lennar has applied for an amendment of the PUD -CUP to
reduce the minimum area required for attached garages from 420 square feet to accommodate
the proposed house plan offerings. A public hearing to consider the application has been
noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 7 December 2020.

ANALYSIS
Single Family Villas. Lennar has provided plans for additional slab -on -grade single family
homes to be offered for construction on the 55 foot wide single family villa lots (Lots 1-8, Block
1 and Lots 1-13, Block 2). The proposed single family villa house plans (Biscayne, Cascade,
Sequoia) come with garage options of 2 -car, 2 -car w/ 2 -ft bump, 3 -car, and 3 -car w/ 2 -ft
bump. The Biscayne, Cascade, and Sequoia house plans each come with six exterior
architectural options meaning there are 72 possible options for the initial buyer to choose from.
The house plan details are shown below. Based on the Sequoia 2 -car garage house plan, Lennar
is requesting an amendment to allow a garage area minimum of 396 square feet, of which only
18 of the 72 house plan/exterior options (25 percent) would be less than the 420 square foot
minimum approved with the PUD -CUP.

The City has allowed single family villa homes to be exempt from the 480 square foot minimum
garage area for single family villa type homes in other subdivisions by PUD -CUP to expand
housing options. Consideration of the requested PUD -CUP amendment is to be based upon,
but not limited to, the criteria established by Section 11-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The 2012 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for low density
residential uses. Single family villa dwellings expand lifecycle housing options and as an
alternative to traditional single family dwellings consistent with the following policies:
■ Encourage housing styles and development techniques that conserve land
and increase efficiency provided that guided densities are not exceeded.
■ Establish single family dwellings as the primary type of housing
maintained and developed within the community through designation of
a variety of single family lot sizes to create potential for added diversity in
the housing supply and create housing opportunities for all segments of
the population.
The requested PUD -CUP amendment allows for a range of options for the area of the
attached garage of the single family villa homes within Hunter Hills. The City has
required single family villa homes in other subdivisions to provide a minimum attached
garage area less than 480 square feet for single family villa type consistent with the
intent to expand housing options.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Comment: The subject site is surrounded by the existing and planned uses shown in the
table below. The character of the proposed development is similar to development of
Arbor Creek to the south of 80th Street consistent with the Future Land Use Plan. The
proposed development will also be compatible with existing rural residential single
family dwellings in the area. The requested PUD -CUP amendment will not affect
compatibility of the single family villa dwellings with surrounding uses.

The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
Comment: All of the single family villa dwellings will comply with the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance as well as the amended PUD -CUP.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Comment: The requested PUD -CUP amendment will not affect traffic generation within
the approved preliminary plat of Hunter Hills.
3
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and
will not overburden the City's service cap
Comment: The requested PUD -CUP amendment will not affect the City's service capacity
with respect to the approved preliminary plat of Hunter Hills.
Lot Requirements. The PUD -CUP for the Hunter Hills preliminary plat as approved by the City
Council established minimum lot area and width requirements based on a site plan for varied
lot widths for single family lots of 55 to 65 feet. The proposed PUD -CUP amendment has no
affect on these requirements.
Setbacks. The table below specifies the principal building setback requirements applicable to
the Hunter Hills preliminary plat. The proposed PUD -CUP amendment has no affect on these
requirements and homes constructed on the single family villa lots will comply with these
requirements.

Utilities. The proposed amendment of the PUD -CUP will not affect the utility plans approved
by the City Engineer for the preliminary plat.
Grading. The proposed amendment of the PUD -CUP will not affect the grading, drainage and
erosion control plans approved by the City Engineer for the preliminary plat.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed amendment of the Hunter Hills PUD -CUP requirement for minimum attached
garage area accessory to single family villa dwellings is consistent with the housing policies of
the Comprehensive Plan, intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and past practice for single family villa
dwellings in other subdivisions. City staff recommends approval of application as outlined
below.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
A. Motion to recommend City Council approval of a PUD -CUP amendment for Hunter Hills,
subject to the following conditions:

1. Single family villa dwellings constructed on Lots 1-8, Block 1; Lots 1-2, Block 2;
Lots 1-9, Block 3; and lots 1-4, Block 4 as shown on the Hunter Hills preliminary
plat shall provide an attached garage with a minimum area of 396 square feet.
B. Motion to recommend the application be denied based on a finding that the request is
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not comply with the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
