ITEM 2.1_attachementLatt=:YHOMES December 8, 2015 Dan Licht City of Otsego 13400 901h Street NE Otsego, MN 55330 RE: PUD Amendment, Boulder Creek Dear Mr. Licht, Mattamy Homes Min neapol is -St. Paul Division T _ avmy.mattamyhomes.com During the approval of Boulder Creek, we were remiss in checking the City of Otsego's ordinances regarding its minimum garage size of 480 square feet. We became aware of this when applying for a building permit recently. We are requesting a variance to allow garages as small as 414 square feet only within the areas designated as 55' wide lots. BACKGROUND Mattamy currently offers 10 different models within Boulder Creek PUD on the lots designated as 55' feet wide. There are 69 lots of this designation; 19% of the total with the development. Of these 10 plans, one-half of them do not meet the minimum garage square footage. The garages in these units range for 414 square feet to 454 square feet. The remaining 5 plans have garages that are 511 to 685 square feet. All are 2 -car garages. DISCUSSION Mattamy is aware that garage size is a hot topic in Otsego. Being a "north side boy" myself, the concept of a garage with "toy space" is not wasted on me. Without a doubt, I would not be a candidate for a 2 - car garage product. However, I once was — my wallet and garage space (and toy inventory) were proportional. Mattamy would like to offer people who have a smallish wallet and place a higher value on livable space than garage space to exercise this choice. To help minimize the used of the requested variance we are also preparing options to the 5 plans whose garages are less than 480 square. This will address Buyers who like a particular floor plan but have enough buying power to add additional space to the garage. The options would fit on 17 of the lots in Phase 1 (lots on the inside or outside of curves). The remaining 17 lots would not accommodate the option to expand the garages however the Buyer would have the option, as always, to choose from the other 5 plans that do meet the Ordinance. Mattamy Homes Minneapolis -St. Paul Division As can be seen, the number of times that someone may actually utilize the variance is limited. They will likely choose the option to expand the garage on a lot that will accommodate it or chose another floor plan. To that point, the building permit applied for was a spec. Our argument places the City in the perfect position to say "Why then?" The simple answer is that we feel that it is more important to provide as many choices as reasonably possible in order to maintain a neighborhood with a variety of building styles, plans, and looks. Each of the 5 "deficient" plans have 3 very different elevations. In real numbers, we lose 15 different looks out of 30. If a variance is allowed (while we at the same time commit to providing an option that was otherwise unavailable) we preserve the greatest opportunity for this part of the development to look fresh and not repetitive. The more compact a neighborhood design becomes, the more need for (planned) diversity in home facades. Boulder Creek will have a Homeowner's Association which will govern using a set of Declarations and By-laws. I have attached a copy of the documents for review. The Declarations prevent exterior storage of any kind, sheds, barns and other accessory structures. Further, it restricts the outdoor storage of all the "toys" that can litter a neighborhood. The only type of fencing allowed are vinyl privacy fences. Our agents stress these requirements because until we have sold out the entire development, we are the Architectural Review Committee. There's nothing worse than being told by a person we sold a home to that we didn't make them aware of a restriction. Informing potential home buyers of these requirements also make the Buyer think of buying options or a bigger house. There's nothing wrong with that! CONCLUSION Attached to this letter is a list of our 55' lot plans and their square footages, both garage and living area. I have also attached a map of the lots that will accept the option to expand "deficient" garages to the Ordinance required minimum or greater. We appreciate the opportunity to do business in Otsego. We hope we have demonstrated the desire to build an attractive neighborhood in Otsego through our site design, abundance of floor plans and elevations, and variety of price points. With this, we hope the City will understand our requested variance and allow us to proceed as planned conditioned on our changing our plans to include the option to expand the garages in the 5 plans that currently do not meet the City's Ordinance.
