ITEM #4.A.
New Business - Regatta Subdivision.
Randy Johnson introduced the discussion with a thank you to Pulte Homes
for the large park land dedication proposal included with this Regatta
subdivision located along 160th Street West, approximately 1/2 mile east
of Galaxie Avenue. 10% land dedication valued at $20,000 per acre, the
park land is located on the northeast corner of the property to take
1
advantage of the north tributary of the Vermillion River. The property
diagram also shows two ponds. The Developer proposes a rezoning from
agricultural to planned development. Walkways will be installed on one
side of Rechtzigel Drive and on both sides of 157th Street. The
development will be completed in two phases over a three year timespan.
The first phase will be the east side, approximately 1/2 of the
development, with the second phase being completed twelve months later.
The ponds are designed to work with the tributary. Pulte Homes is
flexible on the tributary assets, leaving that up to the City and DNR
requirements. There is possibility of no change to the tributary to an
enhancement to direct flow through the park. The Apple Valley Planning
Commission is inclined to enhancing the tributary and ensuring that
there is water in the tributary at all times.
Mr. Grant gave a buyer profile for the planned development homes as
½
single family detached dwelling having 1 children with an age
range of 8 to 12 years old,
single family attached dwelling as townhouse association
½
governed, lifestyle buyer with 1 children per unit,
clubhome dwelling single level as typically active adults at 60
years of age, rare to see children in these units - maybe
older/young adults living with their parents,
court home dwelling multiple level as typically young married,
just out of college with .3 children per household.
Unit breakdown =
single detached at 53
single attached at 70
club homes at 116
(2 level) court homes at 248
total = 487 units
Of the 169 estimated children in the development, approximately 1/3 will
be in the age range of one to four years old.
Mr. Kopischke recommended approval of the proposed park dedication. He
stated that it appears to meet the needs of the City as park land and he
likes the pedestrian traffic control, entrances to the streets. The
development has logic. He also recommends that staff work with
engineering for the ponding and future space needs for field
development.
Ms. Rankin also gave her support of the development design. “Of all the
years (on the committee) this is one of the nicest (we’ve seen). Very
much appreciated.”
MOTION: by Greg Kopischke, seconded by Tina Rankin to recommend
park land dedication in the proposed Regatta Subdivision
as presented.
VOTE: Yes - 4, No - 0

ITEM #6.A.
